Was Floyd/Cotto A Closer Fight Than Pacquiao/Bradley?

Those were beat downs on top of domination. Bradley didn't get beat down but he got out classed EASILY. Like I said, I'm a Bradley fan and you out of all people know I've hated on Pac before so no bias here. Complete domination no pac win yes

I scored the Pacquaio-Bradley fight closer but I was being generous in all honesty. Both won clearly IMO.

how many fukin times will this question be asked? Cotto was at World Champion at 154...Bradley was a 140 Champion coming up to fight at 147 and was a Challenger it was about the same I thought...even if you give Cotto and Bradley the benefit of the doubt they still come up 2-3 Rounds Short IMO...

this kind of thread would just lead to a stupid battle of nuthuggers. true that.

it was more exciting. that's for sure.

I scored it a Draw.

No. Floyd out-threw and outlanded Cotto in virtually every round. He was the busier fighter and dominated Cotto 10-2. There were too many close rounds in Pacquiao-Bradley. Though I always said coming in to the fight that Bradley> Cotto. And Bradley partially proved this, by beating Pacquiao, something Cotto couldn't do. Now I would like to Bradley-Cotto so Bradley can prove entirely that he is a better fighter than Cotto. So there's no shame in Pacquiao losing to Bradley.How did you score the Bradley vs. Pacquiao fight?

cotto won three rounds max -- rounds in which floyd visibly took his foot off the gas, for that matter; bradley won four or five (including the notorious championship rounds), and pacquiao just generally looked pedestrian in there. it's not even close.

Bradley v Pacquiao was a closer fight though in terms of points I scored them the same way 116-112. The difference between the fights is the way Mayweather goes about winning his rounds for a judge he makes it straight forward. His lands the more clean and effective punches, he shows greater ring generalship, displays greater defense, and is effectively aggressive.

nah both fights were about the same in terms of competitiveness...in fact i only gave cotto 4 rounds..same with bradley. both fights had clear winners..it's just that they robbed pac.

I thought they were both equally one sided with Bradley and Cotto only winning one or two rounds and maybe and even round or two. Floyd and Pacquiao both won at least 9 rounds clearly in my opinion.

Complete domination was Pacquiao-De La Hoya, Mosley-Margarito. Amen brother. Some of these fights these guys call dominating leave me baffled.

Yes it was closer than Pac/Bradley. Pac vs Bradley was complete domination by Pac. Complete domination was Pacquiao-De La Hoya, Mosley-Margarito.

My god enough with this. Pac-Bradley: Rounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were clear Pac rounds. Rounds 10 and 12 were Bradley rounds. Rounds 1 and 9 were really close rounds. Rounds 2 and 11 were competitive rounds. I had it 117-111 Pac. I gave Bradley rounds 1, 10, and 12. Could see 116-112 at the closest being the most fair, and no wider than 118-110 at the most. May-Cotto: Rounds 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, and 12 were clear Floyd rounds. Rounds 6 and 8 were clear Cotto rounds. Round 9 was really close. Rounds 3 and 5 were competitive rounds. I had it 118-110 initially, 117-111 Floyd after re-watching it. I gave Cotto rounds 6 and 8 initially, but gave him round 9 as well after watching again. 116-112 at the closest, no wider than 118-110.

floyd moved up and dominated cotto with no catchweight and took his title Manny lost to a fighter moving up in weight so id say floyd did better did i mention this is the 2nd fight in a row manny lost to a smaller fighter??1 was a lightweight the other was a JWW.lmfao
