Comments Thread For: Mayweather Goes To War, Defeats Cotto in Twelve

[thebowtod]

Pacquiao also got his right eardrum broken by Cotto's left hook and Floyd fought a version of Cotto with a better trainer who was 10 pounds heavier.

cotto was a natural welter then. Hell he went into fights at 146. Not only that, he wasn't nearly as punch drunk as he is now. Cotto fought the same way against pac, except pac hit's harder and nailed him a lot more.

But nice try though

[IIG]

No rematch it was a 1 fight deal it took floyd years to fight cotto but ALL The haters That said floyd was going to knock him out lol yea right

Watch round 12 again. Was it really that far fetched? On a related note, Floyd would've been a terrific 15 round fighter in my opinion.

[Realizniguhnit]

Floyd is good, he proved it but he is very much beatable and he is NOT as great as all you thought he was.

HE fought but it thrilled me that there were no cuts to stop the fight and neither did Cotto QUIT and throw in the towel

Matter of fact he showed us how to whip Mayweather , what will whip Mayweather , what you have to do to whip Mayweather and who can do it.

Thrilling fight, Cotto did better than I thought he would do, I was hoping he could get to JRs Chin and put him on his back,,,,I was hoping he would take the last two rounds but he stopped punching, maybe he was too tired.

Somebody who won't stand there , somebody who is lightning fast, somebody with Power, some body with stamina to fight strong from 1 to 12 will dismantle

JR

and not only bloody his mouth and nose

give him a beat down

and KO his A$$

Isn't life Grand , smiles

Arum needs to get out of the nice way

if that doesn't happen we all will be sorely displeased

Mr. Martinez will be gunning for JR

Martinez will KO JR don't ya think, LMAO

Pac will KO JR

IF SLOW SHOP WARN GOOD OLE COTTO CAN DO WITH THE SPEED HE has , or I should say the speed he didn't have , those with speed will do your idol in for good and the

Myth of Mayweather will float away on a breeze

No one is whipping Floyd at 147 which is his real weight class...

Floyd proved once again why he is #1 pound for pound. I had it 9-3 maybe 8-4 in favor of Floyd ( no more than that). I just knew this wasnt going to be no Gatti type performance as many on here thought. Cotto won more fans and Floyd deffinately won more respect. Props to both.

[Slick561]

enough with this Marquez Pacq talk on a Floyd-Cotto forum, Manny whooped JMM ass thrice now get over it and move on!

this is funny even Manny knew he lost with that fake "i know i won" speech

[TerrisJ3]

much props to floyd, cotto, and DIAZ!!! i think diaz's plan was to have Cotto start off strong and aggressive then switch up and start to box to conserve energy.Which seemed like a pretty good plan to make floyd think in there. And it worked, it made floyd THINK and nobody (outside of hopkins) out thinks floyd in the ring. Cotto changed his whole style in the fight and floyd countered it with two moves: An overhand right (instead of str8 right) and a left uppercut. For all the ass kissing, the announcers where actually right about that one. I dont think 154 is a good weight for floyd. yea, he's tryna please the fans and all that, but he took more (glancing) blows than i've seen him take in a while. Floyd had Cotto done in the 12th and could have gotten the stoppage like pac did.

(on a side note, why da hell did cotto pull a forrest griffin and run out the damn ring? very unprofessional. makes me think floyd hurt him mentally more than anything)

oh yea.. i say Ward beats Floyd and Hop!

[ElMeroChingon]

Floyd got bruised up.

[mrjoeblive]

lots of respect for floyd
looked the best hes ever looked

won by 1 or 2 rounds at most

incredibly ****** scoring from the 3 stooges

if cotto can tag you- manny will knock you down

now you know why hes scared of pacman

cotto you HOF legend- warrior

1 or 2 rounds????? lay off the whisky man. this fight was between 2 well trained boxers. and at 154 cotto was strong and he has gotten better stamina wise under his new trainer. cotto fought hard every round. floyd knew he was in for a fight. and he gave cotto his just due. pac does not have the boxing skills of cotto and wanted none of cotto at 154. pac swings wild and will get countered all night. until floyd ko's him in the 10th round. pac has no defense and is wide open to the lead right and check hook from floyd. roach and arum will avoid floyd until pacs last few fights. easy work.

Yeah, no one beats Floyd at 147 with his cherry picking ways.

[sdcluser]

This fight proved that Cotto is a very good boxer, but not a superstar-level boxer. I think it's too late for him to reach that next level (Floyd/Pacquiao level). I dont think he should retire just yet, but it's unfortunate for him.

Why retire? $$$ fight with Canelo and possibly rematch with Pacquaio.

That's like giving up $10 million dollars.
