    Cotto actually fought Floyd intelligently, and made Floyd have to stand there and fight him in the trenches.

    That Floyd still beat him going away is a testament to Floyd's superior handspeed and defense. Pac looked completely lost.

    Cotto.

    Neither tbh. They both won about the same amount of rounds, so... I mean, idk. Manny since he brought in like 10x more money and is much higher ranked than Cotto on the ATG list? Since they both sucked against him about equally, I guess I just have to look at their resume's and Pacquiao wins that mark 10/10. Plus, he had a torn rotator cuff. So, yeah. I guess Pacquiao. Then again, I don't really care since Cotto loses this Oct/Nov.

    :nono They did not both suck against him equally.

    There are many different ways a fight can go and still be a 9-3 fight. Cotto gave him a lot of trouble and never let Floyd relax for a second. The same cannot be said for Manny.

    The answer is easily Cotto and I'm happy the poll results reflect that.

    Cotto fought Mayweather. Pacquiao boxed Mayweather. They both won around 4/5 rounds. You can give Pacquiao/Cotto three rounds, but that's just silly in my opinion. Let's also keep in mind Pacquiao had a torn rotator cuff in this entire mess. Once again, Cotto will lose this Oct/Nov so it doesn't even matter. He'll fall out of the Mayweather race anyways.

    I gave Pac 3 rounds and Cotto 3/4. But Cotto made the fight very uncomfortable. Floyd was in cruise control against Manny.

    Effective aggression is what counts, sure Cotto was the more active of the two but his aggression was only effective in 3 or 4 rounds, the rest of the fight Floyd slipped most of his shots or caught them on his arms, which aren't scoring shots. Manny boxed more intelligently and tactically than Cotto and equaled him in rounds won, he just wasn't as appealing to the eye in winning them as Miguel was.

    Manny won 2 round

    Cotto won 4

    Cotto deserves that rematch and that's irrefutable.

    A horse being led to water? :lol: Why wouldn't a horse want to be led to water? Do you mean a horse being put out to pasture?

    Pacquiao was getting exposed left right and center, that's the gist of it.

    He won 2 rounds, and that's all he gets.

    I don't really care tbh. It's such a redundant topic. Everyone pretty much has their minds set on what they think of the fight.
