I think Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto was the fight of that generation on the sly. It happened at a better time, Mayweather was in better form 'And Cotto was on a roll, redeeming himself against Margarito etc'.
I have always kind of agreed with Malignaggi.
By the time Mayweather Junior fought Pacquiao, he was there for the taking in my opinion. Mayweather was way more eroded than Pacquiao 'He still beat Pacquiao without really getting out of second gear'. But if Mayweather would of been forced to get out of second gear, I think he would of been beaten.
At that point in Mayweather's career, his offense had decreased dramatically, along with his underrated physical strength.
Pacquiao should of capitalized on all of this, but did not.
