        So Maywaether does it and it's called masterful performance, yet cotto does it and it's called running... your are the lamest by far.

            Cotto did it against a bigger man, Mayweather did it against Hatton, a smaller man

            Cotto normally stands and fights, Mayweather never does

              actually, Cotto would land 3-4 punch combinations and he would move out the way. he stayed on the ropes and would actually exchange. any article you read regarding the fight stated that "cotto traded bombs". there were no fans booing and people were standing and applauding after every round. If what Cotto was doing was actually called "running", then Floyd just plain didnt even show up for the fight.

              one love.

                He boxed when he countered Tony, but ran most of the fight.

                  Cotto threw Combos and boxed a lot more...

                    I wouldn't call it running he was using movement to stay away from Margarito's power. However, most of the times he went to the ropes and exchanged with Margarito. Trust if Cotto ran he wouldn't have broken his nose and has his face busted up.

                      Antonio Margarito ran through that "best boxing" like it was nothing.


                      Just more proof that more skills doesn't always equate to a win.
