    I enjoyed floyds work in the 12th... He really did try and get cotto out of there and took risks doing so.

    He also said he ran when he needed to:lol: He was grabbing and holding Cotto's right hand many times last night. Hes making more excuses already like if hes the loser of the fight. Why bring up hurting your hand in camp and being sick coming into the fight at 147:huh Floyds corner seem very quiet last night and in shock:lol:

    If Mayweather stayed on the outside I don't see Cotto lasting the distance.

    True, He could've stayed in the middle of the ring and stayed outside. He's only problem was the cotto jab but that ain't enough for cotto to win rounds.

    He also said he's going for KO against JMM right?

    Mayweather fought his fight last night. You people seem to say that Cotto did nothing and Mayweather just CHOSE not to box. Cotto FORCED a fight out of Mayweather. If May had to choose he would have picked his punches and cruise his way to an easy UD. This has been proven over and over again.

    Mayweather saying any ACTION from him in pre-fight is nothing but hype. You try to give credit Cotto for giving his best and yet you praise Mayweather for CHOOSING not to box as if Cotto just stood there letting Mayweather CHOOSE.

    Bull... He tried to box with Cotto and realized Cotto was not going to fall for his pot shots last night. So he fought like a housewife in his shell... confused on the ropes as to why Cotto was still there trying to kill him etc.

    Don't be naive and fall for Floyd pretending he "wanted to give the fans a good fight" He had no other choice as Cotto was not falling for his usual tricks.

    It was COTTO who wanted to give the fans a good fight... Mayweather had no choice but o go along with it.

    Floyd toyed with him all night not only that, he had the KO on the platter in the 12th, took his foot of the gas and walked Cotto to the finish line...............

    Confused on the ropes? Floyd was relaxed and his defense was on point. Cotto got some shots in through that defense but he is suppose to. Its called boxing. Floyd had plenty of opportunity to just spin Cotto and just circle back to the middle of the ring. Cotto has good foot work and can cut off the ring well so that played its part in the fight. Great fight by both guys.

    Exactly this is business before the ring nowadays, they made Cotto look legit while keeping Floyd pristine, Floyd was popping Cotto with right hooks at will, even as much as taking his foot off the gas in the 12th to walk Cotto to the finish line not completely destroying him. Now Cotto has options with the winner of the Berto Ortiz fight, Canelo, and even better a Floyd rematch
