I think the same result happens but it would have been a good fight still.
Both in their primes as opposed to both being a little passed it.
Then again Cotto has improved in some areas since then whereas I don't think Mayweather has since 2008.

This version of Floyd would have KO'd the Cotto that Pac fought, there's no denying that. It wouldn't have gone past 6 or 7 rounds.

Overall it was a great fight Floyd won a hard fought fight for both guys. Floyd never dominated. Still props to Floyd for fighting this version of Cotto and win. Props to Cotto to finally coming back to his old days.
115-113 Floyd
Ring KINGS couldn't think for a better name my self.
I'm definetly ready for :
May - Cotto 2
Cotto - Pac 2 @150cw - 151cw - or hell @ 154 no cw.

First off What a great night of boxing!!! From Afolabi vs Huck and their barn burner ending in one of the most electric final rounds u will ever see to Shane Mosley putting in the work at 40years old against far bigger Saul Alvarez who impressed with speed and power to Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather and their captivating high skill match up
Here is my Cotto vs Mayweather card
RD1: 10-9 FM
RD2: 10-9 FM Closer but floyd's 3x right hands won it
RD3: 10-9 FM close again, May has bust nose
RD4: 10-9 FM
RD5: 10-9 MC Tight round, i felt Cotto out hustled him
RD6: 10-9 MC Even the highly biased BoxNation commentry had him winning
RD7: 10-9 FM
RD8: 10-9 MC Sheridan thinks the judges will give it to Cotto
RD9: 10-9 MC Sheridan scored even, i liked Cotto's strength and pressure
RD10: 10-9 MC Cotto edged it with body shots and staying busy for me
RD11: 10-9 FM Punctuated with a Hattonesque Check hook, MC takes it well
RD12: 10-9 FM Huge round for FM, Cotto hurt.
115-113 Floyd Mayweather
Closer than a lot of others from what i gather but i genuinely felt this was fair. Some of Floyd's rounds were Clearer cut and far more obvious, his ability is off the charts and when he is doing his thing its easy to get drawn in to only watching him... I think this happened to the Boxnation commentators (one of whom was Bob Sheridan who im a big fan of normally)
Miguel fought the perfect fight, Diaz had him fitter, sharper and more focused than at any other point in his career - this was THE best Miguel Cotto i have seen. Floyd was just the better fighter as he had been 42 times previously. I thought the scores were harsh on Miguel and he must have felt sick, still it was disappointing to see him walk off without an interview. Mayweather is NOT boring. Thats just nonsense and im sick of hearing it, he is highly entertaining imo and well worth the price of a PPV card. Cotto is one of the better fighters of the last 20-30years imo and Mayweather at 35 facing prison a month later and fighting up at 154 won fairly and squarely with no help from the ref, no elbowing and no weight draining. Great fight.
Cotto got back to his body work in a big way in this fight without ever landing the lethal left hook downstairs to change Mayweather's perspective on breathing. Mayweather though puts in the ground work and is so well conditioned it shouldn't come as a huge surprise though im sure he must be feeling tender today.
Diaz and Cotto should have happened a LONG time ago, perfect match. THIS Cotto was a different beast altogether from the guy who faced Manny Pac. Miguel did himself and his fans proud last night and only lost narrowly to perhaps the greatest talent of the modern era in Floyd Mayweather.
