    2. You're wrong. Cotto and Mayweather have different styles. Cotto fights in a style that will gain him more KO's. However, his approach is more sloppy in that he'll sometimes take a lot more punishment in his road to victory. Mayweather can pick apart opponents, punish them, get a few knockdowns maybe and win via unanimous decision with almost every round going to him. It's pretty even if you ask me. Thus, you're painfully mistaken if you believe just because scores a knockout, the win is more decisive. Go back to my baseball analogy between Ichiro and Bonds. Bonds gets more homeruns and always gets more attention because of the fan appeal to homeruns. Ichiro always bats for a high average, gets infield hits, extra base hits, steals bases and has decent RBI numbers. Is Ichiro's offensive approach any less decisive? Nope. You can't really compare the two because Cotto doesn't have all the tools to do what Mayweather does and vice versa. Apples and Oranges.

    P.S. -- Everyone knows I'm not a Mayweather fan. But I do appreciate his skills. As do I respect Cotto for what he does. Pointless thread.
    Sort of ties in what I was saying.. Agreed.

      Cotto was badly hurt by Corley, and hurt by Judah several times.

      Then the fouling started..

      The full body beating Cotto handed out on Chop Chop and Super was more comprehensive - but you're not supposed to beat certain parts of the body Miguel knowingly, and deliberately put a beating on..

      The pattern has been established.

      Torres, Corley, and Judah.

      Regardless of at what point in these fights Cotto started throwing low blows - he felt an imperative need to do so, and came out the winner.


      This also begs the question - between DeMarcus and Zab; who put worse beatings on Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather?

      Clearly, Corley and Judah beat down Cotto worse than they beat down Mayweather..
      Again an intelligent post. Nice!

        The poll result tells the truth...

        Correct answer is Cotto.
