The version of Miguel Cotto who Floyd Mayweather Junior fought 'Was a more in form, and comfortable fighter at 154 pounds than the version of Cotto that Manny Pacquiao fought. Cotto had just avenged a traumatic loss to Antonio Margarito prior to fighting Mayweather'.
So of course? I think Miguel Cotto at his absolute peak was at 147 pounds 'Before he was brutally smashed up by Antonio Margarito. In all of his fights after this point in his career, Cotto when he was embroiled in a tough fight always appeared to still be suffering from trauma. Whenever he would began to sustain heavy damage in a fight, Cotto seemed shook, but to his credit he would battle on through those turbulent times'.
Before Miguel Cotto was beaten by Antonio Margarito I, he always appeared very cold and android like inside the boxing ring 'Even in his fight vs Zab Judah, were he sustained a gruesome cut. Cotto like a locomotive train, just kept on systematically applying his pressure and game. For me personally I rate Miguel Cotto's victory over Zab Judah and Shane Mosley as his peak best performances'.
Note: The narrative or perception that Miguel Cotto was a great fighter at 154 pounds 'I think is due to him, avenging his loss to Antonio Margarito II in that weight class. To avenge a damaging and traumatic loss, is in my opinion? One of the toughest challenges any fighter can achieve inside the boxing ring. When Cotto achieved such a feat, he in part had completed the process of rebuilding himself from his first brutal loss to Antonio Margarito'.
If Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao would have fought each other at this point in boxing history 'I think Cotto could have potentially beaten Pacquiao. The timing would have been more optimal for Miguel Cotto. The fight most likely would have been at 154 pounds, with no catch weight or rehydration clause'.
Manny Pacquiao's win over Miguel Cotto was awesome 'But the catch weight, was completely unnecessary. And it had a negative effect on Miguel Cotto's performances, especially in the area of durability in my opinion. At elite level, even if a fighter's game is decreased by 5% this is going have a potential dramatic negative effect on the action produced'.
To conclude: When Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather Junior fought each other in 2012 'In reality that was the mega fight of that boxing era. It was a more significant fight than Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Junior, because both fighters while not at their absolute peak? They were still in solid form'.
By the time Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Junior fought 'Mayweather was miles outside of his peak. This was apparent by his recent performances vs Marcos Maidana I & II. Even in his fight against Canelo Alvarez, Mayweather seemingly was reluctant to really pressure Alvarez and push for the stoppage. Floyd Mayweather Junior's performance vs Canelo Alvarez was his last great performance, but? In my opinion better versions of Mayweather would have been able to force the stoppage vs Canelo Alvarez'
Floyd Mayweather Junior beat both superior versions of Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and Shane Mosley than Manny Pacquiao'.
Miguel Cotto was not at his absolute peak at 154 pounds 'But regardless, he had achieved one of his best wins at 154 pounds vs Antonio Magarito II. Cotto as a competitor at that stage of his career, would have acquire masses of experience that he could now utilize whether that be during training camp or on fight night' etc.
