I had Pacquiao and Cotto losing all three of those fights. I thought the Pacquiao-JMM rematch was the fight that you could least make the case of a rip off because Pacquiao did some damage to JMM in that fight. Cotto never hurt Clottey or Mosley once in those fights. Their were times of where he stopped Mosley in his tracks. But he never wobbled him except maybe a couple of times of all the times that he hit him. Most of Cotto's punches landed on Clottey's gloves.
I have to say all decisions were fair otherwise they governing body would have overturned the decision and each respective camp would have pursued and injustice far longer than anyone did at this point. It's history now ....just like when Casamayor defeated Santa Cruz....we all know Cruz won but it's history. I say let's move forward and continue looking forward to all the great matchups that are coming about.
Cotto-Clottey... highway robbery. Everything about that fight said "robbed". Madison Square Garden venue, PR majority crowd. Straight gift. Anywhere else and Clottey more than likely would have won for the little things that boxing criteria has that Cotto was not doing.
Marquez-Pacquiao... meh. It was close but I still give it to Pacquiao.
