    I gotta go with Mayweather.

    Im Puerto Rican and a Big Cotto fan. He was only about a year and a half away for the bricks Margarito hit him with. Cotto looked good and Healthy when Mayweather fought him at 154.

    Cotto vs floyd onviously

    that was a well prepared Cotto, with a real trainer in his corner and comfortable with the weight

    this is not worth debating

    Marqeuz is the one that lost 2 and got a gift when they gave him a draw from a mistaken scoring. You mean Maroid, Maroid did put PAC to sleep but Maroid would put anybody to sleep. Don't get it mixed up between Marquez and Maroid.

    PAC fought him at a catchweight, Cotto was drained and not at his best. That's not fighting on even level of playing field. Plus Cotto was shot to ****, Cotto was unshot and rejuvenated vs Floyd, in short Cotto was still undefeated.

    You can say what you want but I honestly feel Mayweather beat the Better version of Cotto Pacquiao beat a more Prime Cotto.

    As far as how the fights played out Cotto won 2/3 against both Mayweather had a bloody nose, Pacquaio left with a broken ear drum. Pacquaio kd Cotto twice and stopped him in the 12th, Mayweather outfought Cotto and almost dropped him in the 12th, here Points go to Pac because of the KO.

    Leading up to the respective bout, in the time heading into Pac, Cotto had been savagely beaten and likely cheated against Margarito to lose his 0 and unimpressive bout vs Jennings for a vacant title, and a near loss were he was again beaten up a bit vs Clottey.

    Vs Mayweather he was coming in off a layoff Cotto Beating His 1st "Reigning World Champ" in Foreman, A TKO of Mayorga and a stoppage in the Rematch vs the man who again likely cheated in taking his 0 Margarito.
    if you want to talk about level of comp are you Seriously going to argue that
    Margarito I TKO L is so much better than Foreman TKO W
    Jennings TKO W Mayorga TKO W
    Clottey SD W Margarito II TKO W

    I think the Edge here is almost even, if not slightly in Mayweather favor

    Finally you have quite possibly the most crucial element which is life itself that unexpected that can always happen going in the Pacquaio fight Cotto had just lost his father basically had no trainer and had very recently gone through two HARD bouts the catchweight to me is just an extra kick while he was down.

    The Mayweather Cotto fight ONLY happened in the first place because Bob Arum made up the don't know who to Call, Stadium, Cut, Can't fight in May ect Excuses It's wasn't until Mayweather finally gave them an out with the 40 Mil we'll take about the backend later line did they have just enough room to walk away blameless. And while Mayweather was trying to get a fight done with Pacquiao they were negotiating with Cotto for a rematch the whole time and Cotto said the ONLY reason there was no Pacquaio-Cotto II and we instead got Mayweather-Cotto was because Pacquaio wanted a 150/147 Catchweight again and Mayweather said 154

    And as far as the life element Cotto was almost 3/4 years removed from his last loss was riding a win over the man to take his 0 and was facing an opponent who was headed to jail shortly after there fight and was also training under one of the best trainers in the game today.
    I think that tips the scales greatly in Mayweathers favor, in the end it all depend on what you put more weight into the brutality/nature in which something happen or the total scope that shows you all the signs of the eventual slaughter.

    There was nothing in Mayweather vs. Cotto. 1-3 rounds. The truly deluded *******s seem to have disapeared now but you will still get *****s trying to say Mayweather beat Cotto 118-110 and stuff. Funnily enough I still remember a troll thread by a ******* from about 07 talking about him beating Cotto, DLH, Hatton, Margarito that got bumped after he did it all. That's how good he was for a time.

    Pacs win over Cotto was so impressive, but why the hell did he have to take those two pounds off? it'll always have the asterisk by it unfortunately, which detracts somewhat from what should be up in his top three wins. Still think Pac beat a slightly better and fresher version than Floyd did though.

    The hypocritical views of *****s are literally so anoying. All of the annoying catchweight arguments, he got him at the right time etc. but they're all so quick to rubbish this argument regarding Canelo now, pointing out the size etc. Funny coz Pacquiao gave a lot of weight away to Cotto fight night.

    I understand this argument and personally smh before the Alvarez fight was signed when all the threads about how Canelo is too big popped up. the catchweight in this case imo is still bull**** but Alvarez is undefeated riding high off a close victory vs his best opponent to date which fits the description of most of Mayweathers opponents. Meanwhile even though it is not intended as a form of disrespect the truth of the matter is that most of Manny's high profile opposition (including Cotto) was coming in off the back of a 1-sided, embarrassing loss

    Interesting to see no mention of catchweight in here. That's curious...

    Pacquiao's win was better. It is clear. Pac had Cotto backing up from round 6, and running away at round 12, before he was stopped. Cotto never stopped coming to Floyd from rd 1 to rd 12. Pacquiao had Cotto beat down and resigned. Took his soul from him.
