    The fight was planned out for a rematch. Yall wasting your time with trying to figure out what happened. You're telling me that all of a sudden in the biggest fight of his career Pac forgets to throw punches. Hit or miss it never mattered to Pac. He is known for throwing punches period and for people to actually give Floyd credit for that is crazy to me. Floyd makes you miss not stop you from throwing punches.

    As others are saying but not as straight forward. Cotto is a better boxer so Floyd could not dominate him just by boxing. Cotto's abilities actually forces Floyd to fight more to get the win.

    Well seeing as though the rabid Pacquiao fans blame the shoulder and laugh at Mayweather's lack of aggression at the same time, maybe Mayweather's hands were preventing him forcing the attack more like in the Cotto fight, plus Cotto was winning some rounds and making him work harder.

    Cotto has a jab and can fight on the inside

    Because Cotto actually knew how to cut off the ring.

    This. People forget Cotto isn't just some puncher, hes got a very good skillset, certainly much better than Pacqiauos. Its just that Cotto doesn't have that speed.

    Watch the fight again.

    Mayweather stood right in front of Pacqiauo while punching him in the face.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with Pacquiao's power.

    It's because unlike Pacquiao, Cotto actually has a jab, and can cut off the ring.
