Does Cotto deserve more credit? He made Floyd look old.

you can't look at how badly Mayweather beat him, and then discredit the win. you have to give Floyd credit for being that damn good. Cotto vs Mayweather had completely different circumstances surrounding the fight, different weight class, Cotto being a much more seasoned veteran with better resume, Floyd going to jail after the fight, Floyd being out of the ring for over a year
you can't look at the Cotto fight and use it to discredit Robert Guerrero

Originally posted by joesaiditstrue View PostGuerrero cut off the ring vs Floyd, Floyd slipped out when Guerrero pushed him against the ropes. Floyd just stood there when Cotto backed him up against the ropes. If you can't see the differences in Floyd's strategy then you don't know what you're watching. People said Floyd's legs were gone vs Cotto, but now you same people are saying "It was Cotto cutting off the ring"
lol

If you watch that fight, Floyd wasn't using his legs that much at all. He invited Cotto to fight him at the ropes at times. Some times he would just sit there and wait for Cotto to throw shots at him while he was on the ropes. Then after the fight Floyd pretty much states that he chose not to use his legs because people would have said it was a boring fight so he wanted to duke it out with Cotto.

Regardless I'm excited to see Mayweather back in the ring. I truly believe that Cotto was a big part of the overall tone leading up to this fight.

When two great fighters go at it, its all about the little things. Angles, ringwork, punch placement
Guerrero is just an average fighter with a lot of heart
Like Poppa Floyd said, how is some dude who went life and death with Katsidis and Casa enter the realm of Money May?

LOL @ Cotto being a HOF'er
credit for what? making Mayweathers nose bleed? you guys are idiots. Castillo, Corley and De La **** gave him fits. Castillo arguably beating him, yet people only seem to bring up Cotto who at the most won 2 rounds.
