Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[SkillspayBills]

I think the most most unbiased score is probably 117-111. Cotto fought every round though, he just happened to lose a majority of them. Made a very good account of himself.

I guess so, but it's a very common transition in boxing





Ali never went to jail.

yeah he was jst stripped of his license to fight

to ans. the question, pbf is way better defensively and doesn't get hit a lot. ali's chin was very superior because he can absorb shots from very good punchers like liston, frazier & foreman!

its like the people in this thread didnt even read the the first post
he is comparing Ali and Floyd by what they did/doing in the ring and the similarity on how they adapted in their style to suit their age/lack of speed

not what they did in their personal life..

You are right

And i agree with the first post, Ali was dancing around the ring throwing beautiful combos and hyper fast jabs earlyer in his carrer, later on he settled down more and relayed more on his arms to do the job.

See Pacquiao vs Cotto Nov 2009

Lets see if manny can make it to 35. I don't think so.

This is a bad question because PBF is not in his prime.

That was rubbish , look at Mannys head while Cotto was a weight drained weakling , no wonder Manny DUCKs him without a draining CW , Cotto would blow him away when he is not drained .

Cotto: Pacquiao beat me, he was just the better man on the night.

Books are far better. The show is damn good, one the best on TV right now, but they just cannot cover all the material the books do.

Exactly to the bold hence why books are usually better than the movies.

Floyd is the best but I think this fight showed he has slowed slightly and a fight with Pac becomes even more interesting.

Canelo impressed me and i like his patience unlike the writer of the article. Usually young fighters come out too aggressive and get caught, Canelo shows patience, poise and delivers when it counts.

I think he did try to end the fight in the 9th but Mosley is one tough sob.

I agree with you.

As an addition, though, I do think that Canelo should have tried to drown Shane with activity.

I hate when a young guy has an older fighter in front of him and does NOT set a pace that the old guy can't keep.

Pascal-Hopkins
Dawson-Hopkins
Canelo-Mosley
Etc...

Yeah, he's got one or two more fights left and Pacquiao is probably the easiest. Toughest to make though.

Without a doubt Pac is the easiest fight out there but they wont put Pac in with Floyd unless its Pac last fight , only leaves SM or maybe Bradley if he beat Pac that would be bitter sweet because Floyd will beat Tim easily .

Not much out there for Floyd , not much for Pac either because he wont fight a WW like Berto or Ortiz , wont fight Cotto at 154 , all they have left is to rob JMM again .

Here's how I saw it.

118-110 if you favored what Floyd did throughout.
117-111 if you were pretty even on what you thought both did.
116-112 if you favored what Cotto was doing.

Anything closer or wider is pretty absurd no doubt.

I had it 118-110 Floyd, could easily see 117-111, with 116-112 at the very very closest. Cotto won rounds 6 and 8 watching it live, could have won one of the other close couple rounds. But even in rounds with slower action, which was the case in those couple close rounds, it favors Floyd.

The part you mention about the scoring is pretty much as i see it, looking back being unbiased i see 117-111 but at the time scored 116-112 more in hope than anything else tbh, Not sure how people pulled out cotto having more than 5 rounds but each to their own i suppose.
