    IMO cotto thought mayweather tk Maidana too lightly but still had him 9rounds up Maidana crude as hell his punch landing rate very low think be a complete shutout this weekend

    Maidana landed more punches against Mayweather than any one ever has

    Only because Floyd chose to let him imo , i expect a totally different fight this time more like the way floyd took the pish out Canelo for 12 rounds, The only really full fledged blows floyds ever took ive seen is from Hatton and Mosley who both shook him then afterwards he flicked the switch and dished out an absolute lesson afterwards

    Maidana. Cotto fight wasn't anywhere near as close as some will have you believe. 9-3 Money May.

    To win what, 3-4 rounds? against Mayweather... for people to be screaming rematch or how close it was just tell's you how good a fighter Mr Money is.

    Floyd didn't let him (why would he, he hates getting hit, health comes first etc), Maidana forced the action and then faded. Canelo froze and made it easy for Floyd. You should give Maidana some credit.

    Cotto at least tried to bring some heat unlike Canelo, but i only gave Cotto 3 rounds. Maidana won at least 5 rounds and as much as 7.

    The rematch won't be anything like the Canelo fight, Maidana won't allow it. Floyd probably wins again but not easy.

    Maidana was closer, although I think the Cotto v Mayweather scores didn't truly reflect what went on in the ring.

    Considering many people scored maidana vs mayweather a draw, it's got to be that.

    The judges were owned by Void, the referee was owned by Void, the boxing commission was owned by Void. It's impossible for Void to lose a fight in Vegas. Void should fight Pac, but he is really afraid and it shows....................
