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

[pac2]

Floyd went to war on purpose you think he couldn't have gotten out of the corner and just jab,jab,jab upstairs and downstairs over and over and won 12-0 he knew cotto couldn't beat him regardless of which way he fought and people were gonna complain i paid $60 ppv and all floyd did was jab and move blah, blah, blah, so he took more chances so people at least feel like they got their money's worth against a very good fighter. May was trying for the Ko but Cotto is tough at 154.

Why are people acting like it was close. 118-110/117-111. 9-3 is the most netrual, with 8-4/10-2 depending on what you favored. It was competitive but Floyd was the clear winner, won the early and late rounds, and Cotto had his moments in the middle rounds.

And I can't help but laugh at the people saying Floyd looked slow. he still used his legs enough to get out of dodge most of the time, avoided most all of Cotto's punches while on the ropes, and had the same fast hands.

Solid performance by Floyd. Cotto did prove he isn't "shot" or done.

Lot of people said Cotto was gonna get obliterated or get stopped. He fought Mayweather the best he could. He was just in with a better boxer.

Im proud of cotto. every cotto fan and puerto rican boxing fan should be proud of cotto's performance tonight. thank you miguel and props to floyd on a good win. also props to floyd for handling his post fight interview with class.

Floyd on cotto: "he's a hall of famer" "he's the best i ever fought".

Very proud of my champion Cotto. All that nonsense about him being shot and this fight being a foregone win for Floyd, some saying KO even--Cotto still has plenty left.

I saw it a lot closer to what many did. Reminded me of the DLH fight when I thought Oscar could of gotten the nod--Cotto could of gotten the nod IMO, but I need to see the whole fight again.

Props to Mayweather.

The BOXNATION broadcast crew was annoying as hell--very pro Mayweather.

Great fight!

floyd has always been hitable
hes always seen manny as his "tarver"

a power punch specialist that could 1 punck KO him at any time

2 ways to beat floyd

1. rush him like cotto did, with a stiffer faster jab and combinations
2. you out reach him with your own jab and out work him- out point him

[kozone]

my hats off to cotto...he was solid!! his trainer has done a great job retooling cotto and it shows his last 2 fights!!I believe he look good even in a loss to the great money may!!

Gamboa being pictured with mayweather huh!?

Yeah. Gamboa learning how to duck from the master.

[indystress]

ive admired mayweathers skills for a long time. ive never seen him as easy to hit as tonight. hes old deal with it fellas

so true, mayweather took more pounding than did pac from cotto

[straightleft]

He was never gonna KO cotto
but mayweather is class
and i believe floyd takes pacman easily

Takes easily just like how easily Floyd took Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto? Now watch the fights what Pac did to Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto. That is what you called easily not the other way around.

Floyd 10-2. Good fight tho, I thought Floyd was gonna completely dominate him. He did on the scorecard but the rounds were hard earned. Mad respect for Floyd for going to war like he said and for apologizing to merchant. I still think Floyd will beat PAC. Oh btw did anyone else turn the volume off coz they couldn't stand the commentators kissing floyd's a55.
