    You gotta love Manny, at least he gives chances to accomplished fighters like Bradley. He ain't giving no young fairy tails a chance like surfer boy Ortiz who came off a life and death struggle against the Berto hype train.

        There were some close rounds, and everyone is automatically giving Floyd the close rounds.

        I felt while watching the fight that it was a really close fight. I didn't know who was going to get the decision. I need to re-watch it though in a more relaxed state of mind. Great fight

          All Cotto did was land the jab every now and then, and work the body a bit with Floyd on the ropes.

          Floyd won a wide comfortable UD.
          yea, the jab because cotto is one-handed, the jab is his dominant hand, and the left is the money punch vs floyd, everyone who knows anything knows that

          with pacquiao it'll be a cross tho, not a jab

            Floyd Mayweather is arguably one of the best boxers in history. Manny Pacquaio is clearly the best in terms of negotiatng weights for fight. He's a beast at the negotiation table. Floyd gave cotto all of the advantages in this fight and still won it going away and really hurt Cotto in the 12th

              Bradley is his first legit fight since Cotto/Clottey, his first absolute prime opponent since Solis, and his best opponent selection since Marquez in 08'....

              Ortiz was the #2 ranked WW after beating Berto, and I recall a bunch of fans on here saying "Pac-Ortiz, good fight if it gets made" and "Floyd won't fight Ortiz, too much of a risk".

              You're a troll, and you need to grow up.

                Cotto has the most effective jab than anyone from 140lbs-154lbs.

                    How can anyone say that the fight was close?

                      Yeah it wasn't, but he still schooled Pac there and got robbed.
