Mayweather says Cotto outranks Augustus: toughest victory of his career.

I do believe this version of Cotto had his balls back and was better. Reason being because he avenged that crushing loss to Marg and regained his confidence.
Also, May is slowing down and isn't what he was a few years ago. Just like Pac is slowing down.

 

The 2nd fight with Castillo was much closer.

1.Carlos Hernandez because of the hand
2.Augustus(He kept coming through Floyd's shots)
3.Cotto

 

Yet nobody has done that to Floyd until Cotto

 

It was one-sided. 9-3 in a non-competitve fight for Floyd. I think people boxrec and assume its close instead of actually going back to the fight. Apart from some early rounds, he thoroughly outboxed Oscar. No problem.

Exactly. Neither does he have the solid jab or size of Cotto or skilled infighting.

Keep in mind Mayweather fought a bigger Cotto with confidence coming off a revenge fight with a legit trainer in that fight and against Mayweather defending a legit belt. He had a cheerleader in his corner against Pacquiao, no gameplan as he's not a fighter like Floyd or Hopkins that makes his own, and struggled in his last fight. And again, styles make fights.

:conf Perhaps?

And was slightly bigger and went into te fight with a gameplan. Great fight I'm recording it today.
