Mayweather got a split decision against DLH.. did he adjust to the jab? No, everytime DLH was pumping that **** he was getting work done. That fight hung on one point for gods sake..
      Anyone who objectively scored that fight knows it did not hang on one point.

Cotto has proved time and time again when hurt or stunned that he can rework what he is doing and find another way around to ****ing somebody up. I don't think Floyds ring smarts have really been put to the test as has hasn't faced a challenge that has put him in a situation where he was uncomfortable or not used to. Floyds fights are high paying sparring matches for the most part as he uses his speed to box his way to victory. I say Cotto due to his wars.
        what WARS are those BURGER queen?

          Not because he got rocked and Floyd didn't. But because he got rocked/put in danger and was able to survive and get out of it. How many fighters would've survived after that punch from Torres and come back for a KO?

            Dude go away I know what smarts entail, the question wasnt about ring smarts but smarts in general, Floyd is smarter point blank and isnt dumb enough to get caught with the same punch repeatedly.

              So Cotto is a smarter fighter because of his Wars in the ring?

                I think Floyd is the "smarter" fighter but Cotto isn't a dumb fighter! The way he adjusted his style in the Mosley fight was impressive. He stopped trading with Mosley when he realized that he couldn't knock him out and out boxed him. Many criticized him for that move but it was very smart! Mosley wasn't getting knocked out that night.....

                  I'm lost. Because Cotto has been rocked and Mayweather hasn't Cotto is smarter?
                  Mayweather has never been rocked? shows how you don't know **** about boxing.
                  If Mayweather was soo smart he wouldn't of got KD'd against Judah.. dude got lucky the judge didn't count it! DeMarcus Corley also rocked him.

                    Even cotto's family wouldnt pick him has the smarter fighter between him and Mayweather. I dont think people are capable of answering a honest question without any biase.
