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

[Daddy T]

so thats De La Hoya, Hatton, Mosley, Marquez and Cotto ...

[Dr. Ill]

Where are the idiots that said Cotto was going to **** Mayweather up?...

Or were they just trolling.

they were right cotto fu kked him up....

[Cloud]

they were right cotto fu kked him up....

I mean in terms of laying him out. Plenty of biased folk saying that in the build up.

[GoogleMe]

The fight would have an even less chance to get made.

[Jay Volcano]

Mayweather could have easily outbox Cotto. He chose to gave the fans a toe-to-toe fight.

[Reloaded]

Cotto said himself he was fine at the weight, it was one pound less than his previous fight. Why weigh 146 in a 147 fight if you have issues making weight?

He fought the majority of his career at 140. He didn't even weigh 154 in 2 of his 4 fights at the weight. He had only weighed 147 3 times in 40 odd fights before Pac.

Your reaching dude.

He didnt say he was fine afterwards , he said quote " I will never sacrifice my body like that again " now on top of that look at the fights in relation to stamina power and speed , its dam obvious he is so much better at 154 than 145 .

Lets see Pac make 130 he had more fights there than 147 , your analogy dont mean anything because they change with time , Cotto is much better at 154 , Pac knows it because he refused to fight him there .

Should be 50/50. A majority of the PPV and Gate revenue were from Canelo and Cotto fans.

1. This is a lie. How many buys did Cotto/Margarito Cotto/Mosley do again? What were Canelos best number as a PPV headliner?

2. Just a sad attempt to justify the 50/50 argument. Pac can put anyone on his card he wants. Just because Pac stays with a promoter that rips him off and creates ****ty cards, that ain't FMJ fault. FMJ/GBP have the sense to have big names on the card & maximizing the take. And as the headliner, he gets the credit for the buys, JUST LIKE PAC DOES ON HIS CARDS!

[SplitSecond]

Sh-t still stand though. Not only was he at 145 in a catchweight, he also had a rehydration clause put on him as well.... A rehydration clause is the true factor. Coming in at 145 wasnt too bad, but not being able to go back at his normal fight night weight is what killed him...

Think about this... For all the people that think the rehydration/catchweight didnt affect Cotto....

Pac dusted a weakened Cotto teh first time, but if you guys wanna push that, then ask yourself, why did Manny again ask for a catchweight on a fighter he dominated???

The answer is obvious.... He dominated because of the catchweight/rehydration clause

People can argue this and argue that, but at the end of the day people say Manny and Floyd in common opponents.. As Floyd stated after the fight. I fought him at a weight he was comfortable at, and not a "catchweight"

145 cotto was weaker with a rehydration clause just as Delahoya was as well with a rehydration Clause, and manny even outweighed delahoya!!!!!

SIMPLY PUT IT'S CAREFUL MATCHMAKING.

If Floyd had told Cotto he can only fight at a catchweight he would have been crucified, and rightfully so... because more is expected from Floyd than Manny....

We have seen manny not being able to cut the ring off. That Cotto last night would have been too big and strong for manny.... That cotto would have put marquez into retirement......

how can people be this stupid?

the pacquiao fight was very, VERY, high tempo, and miguel still only started to really run at around the 7th or 8th

cotto was in great shape, he ate alot of punches and threw alot of punches, you have got to be a very stupid individual to think he was weight drained, truely, the fight went 12 rounds where pacquiao gave him not a single chance to rest and he was stopped on his feet

even pacquiao was feeling the pace

Yeah, he did. But only when Cotto threw body hooks. When Cotto aimed upstairs with straight crisp jabs/right hands, he landed on Floyd much easier. After watching Floyd for so long, I don't know why some of his previous opponents haven't done that yet. He has great head movement, but once you pinned him on the ropes, you have to aim your punches at his head instead wasting your energy by throwing hooks at his body which he'll be easily able to block with his elbows and counter you with his own hooks and uppercuts upstairs.

You are a little off with that statement. N'dou threw like 10-15 punches upstairs when he had Floyd on the ropes and hit nothing but shoulders and gloves. Marquez did the same. Cotto's not the first one to establish punches upstairs - he just mixed is good and he was physically strong enough to push Mayweather back.
Cotto's jab is precise, straight, stiff and not lazy. And let's face it, Floyd's reflexes are still in a league of their own but not superior like they used to be.

It's still quite impressive how he got Cotto's connect percentage down to 20% because Cotto's is also a precise puncher who can counter and slug it out.
