    Right and all i am reading is excuses for Manny beating the brakes off a prime Cotto, which is why the thread was started. No need to repost his age and ring record.

      Floyd Mayweather Junior fought a better optimally prepared Miguel Cotto 'At the full 154 pound limit'.


      Floyd fought a far more shopworn version of Cotto point blank period, and it was only a mediocre points win. Nothing we hadn't seen before Cotto had already been stopped.

      Manny just outright handled a far more prime Cotto, most observers picked Cotto and was wrong, so of course haters like Pauli Malignaggi and Floyd boys will come up with every excuse in the book.

      If Floyd wanted full credit for beating Cotto he should have fought him when he was Prime, Undefeated and calling him out. I guess being on a two year retirement or vacation was more important.

        Cotto says different, you ever heard of the straw that broke the camels back, that's how weight works in boxing , Cotto was drained not as bad as Oscar was but weight affected none the less.

          Manny Pacquaio never fought Cotto at his peak, against Clottey he was still clearly suffering from his traumatic loss to Margarito.

          I don't think he had the same kind of momentum, like he had coming into the Mayweather Junior fight. It was probably a slightly opportunistic time and great match making for Pacquaio to fight Cotto when he did.

          Just like it would of been opportunistic for Tyson Fury to fight Joshua in December of last year.

          Floyd Mayweather Junior himself, was nowhere near his peak vs Cotto.

          The fact of the matter is, Cotto at the time he fought Mayweather Junior 'Achieved one of his career best wins vs Margarito II'

          The fight was not staged at a catch weight, and it was the Super fight 'The real super fight of that era'.

            Oh then under those au****es Judah stans can pimp the same excuse for Judah losing to Floyd after such a "traumatic" loss to Carlos Baldymir one fight prior, or is that different.

            You can't excuse the bottom line. Cotto was in his prime 37-1, still in his 20s what are you talking about. No excuses he signed on the dotted line and lost to Manny.

            Floyd couldn't stop a more shopworn version of Cotto, never had him dazed or in any serious trouble, it was a 12 round pitty pat contest. Dudes been working overtime to make excuses for Cotto losing to Manny the way he did ever since.

              Don't matter because Cotto was shopworn by then and Margarito maybe even more. Oh but saying he's coming off a career best win helps sell the fight and a shopworn Cotto to the general public but thats Floyd smoke and mirrors promotional game.

              Margarito gets the full credit for beating prime undefeated Cotto when it counted the most.

              You can spin any narrative you want but Floyd bypassed fighting prime, undefeated Cotto and only gets partial credit for beating a shopworn version of Cotto.

              Manny beat him while still in his prime.

                  here's what cotto feels about catch weight fights in general, straight from cotto and not some pretender on boxingscene.

                  Miguel Cotto: Don’t Like The Catch Weight? Don’t Take The Fight
                  “It’s not the first time in boxing there is catch weights,” Cotto told ThaBoxingVoice.com “People are making a real big issue of something that’s been going on forever in boxing. It’s a catch weight like any other. He agreed to make 157 pounds, and if he wants to fight he has to make 157 pounds, that’s it.”​

                    Really, you need to look deeper into things instead of surface-dwelling to suit your agenda, the evidence is all over if you open your eyes, I cant even be bothered drowning you in your own BS, Ive grown tired of fools in here.
