    Before the Mayweather vs Cotto fight, Cotto took a brutal beating from Margarito and Pacquiao and somehow Cotto became a beast @ 154 beating an injured Foreman, 38 years old and past his prime Mayorga and a Margarito that had a broken orbital bone from the Pacquiao fight.

    I watched both fights and I personally feel Pac's was more impressive.

    During Pac vs Cotto aside from round one, it was really all Pac at that point. Pac's speed and power had Cotto hurt and fighting defensively especially after the two knockdowns. If I recall right there was also conversations in Cotto's corner to stop the fight as early as the 9th considering he was getting beaten badly. While I know Pac suffered a busted ear drum, Pac tested Cotto's power by standing in front of him, taking his shots then delivering his own, something that befuddled and eroded Cotto's will.

    Cotto vs Mayweather on the other hand looked a lot more competitive. While Mayweather was ahead of points. there were moments where Cotto, landed heavy shots and I know in my mind I was thinking, Holy **** he might just do it. While Mayweather hurt Cotto in the 12th, Mayweather never drained the will like Pac did to Cotto.

    And personally if people are going diminish Pac's win because of a two lb catchweight and the Margarito beating Mayweather shouldn't get much credit for beating a Cotto that was beat up by Margaito twice and Pac regardless of weight. Imo.

    Pac was on the ropes taking Cotto's body shots.

    For. 5 rounds cotto hit PAC with bombs floyd couldn't dream of hitting

    PAC walked through him

    Floyd nearly beat a shot cotto. Prime cotto takes him definitely

    Cottons jab destroyed floyd, pushed him in the corner and dismantled floyd

    Floyd had no answer and you saw a blueprint for someone who wasn't so shot

    Prime pacquiao would have dominated floyd and I think mayweather always knew it

    Pacman absolutely dismantled Cotto, while Void got his nose busted even fighting like a puss.

    Could not have said it any better myself .

    PacMan walked threw Cotto hardest shots and decapitated him .

    Cotto never landed a flush punch on Floyd and yet still gave Floyd a bloody look and a competitive fight .

    Proof, or stop talking garbage. Don't quote the lame trainer connection excuse for his getting put to sleep.

    So by your Pacturd imbecilic logic, can we assume that Mayweather is a crackhead, because both his father, and uncle who trained him were crack addicts?

    You see all you actually have is guilt by association.

    So lets take that perverted logic to its next step.

    Paci-Ow musty be a lying, thieving, **********, protection racket running, corrupt, murdering ****, that deals in child prostitution, because enough of the politicians he associates with in the Phillipines are.

    Do you see how stupid guilt by association REALLY is?

    But Cotto looked good in the first 3 rounds against Pac though and then after that Pacquiao just went to another level.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol: @ people saying boiling Cotto down to 145 was a better win. That was a disgrace. So sick of catchweight fights and Pacquiao is the King of catchweight fights.

    this thread should be called "who fought the better version of cotto at the time"

    Floyd did.

    So people was saying Cotto was shot when Pac fought him. Cotto was demolished by Pacquiao and Margarito before the Mayweather fight. Don't know whether if it was the better Cotto or just the better trainer.
