Mayweather or Trout - Who did better against Cotto?

I had Mayweather beating Miguel easily, 117-111. Trout pulled away down the stretch, but I'm sure I had it even after 8.

I personally thought Trout gave Cotto a boxing lesson. Mayweather looked flustered at times.

I think Floyd did slightly better. Cotto landed more punches on Trout than he did on Floyd, despite Trout's significant height and reach advantage, his southpaw stance and the fact that he only fought from a distance.

Cotto got robbed against Floyd and thats all there is to it Trout beat Cotto comfortably

I had Trout winning more rounds but a lot of the rounds in Mayweather-Cotto were very close rounds. Not so much with Trout.

Show me your score then, you didn't even answered the question :wtf: Trout beat cotto much more impressivly then floyd did, floyd got rough uo at times, cotto never even got started against Trout. Its only *****s that are trying to convince themself that Canelos win over Trout that would post such a stupid thread. Suck on that

The margin of victory on the official scorecards was just about the same. I thought Mayweather did just a small amount better than Trout did but they both clearly beat Cotto.

I say it was about the same. The 2 fights were fought completely different. With Trout there was a lot more trading with Trout obviously getting the better shots in, but he was hit a lot. The fight was close but Trout was the clear winner. With Mayweather it was more defensive but Cotto was more aggressive than we've seen anyone else against Mayweather. Mayweather was hit more than we're use to seeing so it looked more competitive than it was.

Good point. I just watched the Floyd/Cotto fight yesterday and Cotto gave Floyd a hell of a fight. The thing with the Trout fight is the fact that he had a considerable height and reach advantage. But Floyd landed more clean shots so I lean towards Floyd. It is difficult to accurately compare the performances of Trout and Mayweather against Cotto. Mayweather was fighting a naturally heavier, stronger guy in Cotto. Also Cotto was in much better shape for the Mayweather fight than he was for Trout.

If i remember correctly I had Trout winning 116-112 I also had Mayweather winning 116-112. But i kinda felt Mayweather struggled more than Trout did. And that Cotto struggled more against Trout than he did against Mayweather. That being said Mayweather >>>>>>> Trout

Cotto made Floyd fight more of his fight and Trout made Cotto fight more of his fight so Trout by a small margin.

One thing to take into consideration is that Cotto was much better prepare for Floyd and did not seem to have a game plan nor being at his best for the Trout fight. IMHO Cotto didnt really consider Trout dangerous or as dangerous and did not train properly nor had the right game plan. Plus all the other distractors with the high altitude training and drama with his mother makimg him cut his training cycle short. In all Floyd did better than Trout facing a much better prepared Cotto. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

In terms of rounds won, they did about the same. I just think that Trout being a southpaw and so rangy made it a lot easier for him to win those rounds. He was never really bothered by anything Cotto did.

In terms of the scorecards, they were both wide wins. They could have even been the same scores or similar. In terms of overall competitiveness, I thought Mayweather-Cotto was more competitive. Cotto busted his nose up and Floyd looked embarrassed at times getting his head jabbed off. Trout looked pretty comfortable throughout.

Trout was more dominant. But this was due to Cotto's lack of aggression.

Rewatched both fights a few times and I have to say that both Floyd and Trout won easily. It seemed as though they were more competitive than they really were at first, but rewatching Cotto got soundly beat both times. I gave Cotto 4 rounds against Mayweather and about the same vs Trout. I thought Trout hit him more, and really muscled Cotto around more than I thought he would. Mayweather outboxed him but also adjusted late in the fight to hurt him with a nice uppercut. I have to say Trout.

both got a UD decision. They did the same.

Both fights were competitive. But since 90% of fans thought Floyd would win and 90% of fans thought Trout would lose, I'll pick Trout.

From what I recall I thought Trout really out boxed Cotto and never seemed in trouble throughout the fight. Mayweather was never in trouble but he was up against the ropes more fighting more of Cottos fight as far as I recall. I just think with Trouts size he was able to keep Cotto outside more Excellent post! That's how I view the differences between the 2 fights. Trout cruised through the fight on the outside. Mayweather looked uncomfortable throughout most of the fight along the ropes.:biggthump:biggthump:biggthump

I thought it was about the same as far as rounds won. The difference is Mayweather was expected to win big and make it look easier than it was. Trout/Cotto was expected to be a closer fight but it really wasn't. In short, Floyd fell short of expectations. Trout exceeded them. Good point. I just watched the Floyd/Cotto fight yesterday and Cotto gave Floyd a hell of a fight. The thing with the Trout fight is the fact that he had a considerable height and reach advantage. But Floyd landed more clean shots so I lean towards Floyd.
