    worth mentioning that pac had the better stamina by quite a way, an aging mayweather couldnt keep moving the whole time and gave cotto opportunities on the ropes because he had to conserve his energy. while pac was pretty much chasing cotto down non stop. but styles make fights and at this point in time mayweather definitely wins, the physical decline of both men hits pac harder because he relies more on athleticism.

    Pac probably is too fast for Cotto, but it didn't help his chances that Cotto made some mistakes. He didn't show too much respect for Pac's power, and Pac made him pay with his angles and the speed. If I remember right the kd that rocked him, Cotto got countered with an left uppercut/hook type of punch after exchanging wildly with Pac. That pretty much ended his night and the fight. It was a pretty competitive fight up until that point, even though Pac was consistently getting through with lightning shots to Cotto's head, Cotto was in the fight and had some success backing Pac up and probably won a couple rounds
