Did Mayweather vs Cotto Change Your Opinion on Mayweather vs Pacquiao?

For about 4 years now I have been saying Mayweather beats Pac. I can't lie this fight made me have some doubts.
Only because I think we saw the beginning of the decline of Floyd Mayweather. That doesn't mean he's done or past it but I do think the decline has started and what surprised me more than anything was how he couldn't move his feet as fast as he once did.
I know there are some that say he looked exactly the same as he did vs Ortiz and Mosley but there's no way. He could avoid the jab with his feet and he wasn't able to do that against Cotto.
Not taking any credit away from Cotto but if Cotto can land the left that way, it might open things for Pac even though I understand styles make fights.
Pac's movement, speed, power and being a lefty might cause Mayweather some serious trouble.

i think manny fight with marquez is more of an indication of how a potential fight between the two will go. im pretty confident that if floyd hasnt completely declined, pac isnt beating him.

Nope, Mayweather dominates that fight.
Cotto's style is one that gave him a chance; he was the bigger man, has a great jab, likes to pressure and be on the inside - Manny is none of these things. He's wild, wide open to counters and punches while off balance, not good things to take into a fight with Mayweather.

Mayweather has fought the best.
The only guys he didn't fight were Bob Arum fighters. (Pac,Margarito,Clottey)
He beat your boy cotto at his weight so give the man credit.
You can't question mayweather's resume .
Mayweather has beat 18 world champions dumb a$$.
