Comments Thread For: Mayweather Had Left Hand Injury, Fought Cotto at 147

[amayseng]

no way Floyd weighed 147, he looked as big as Cotto

He makes no sense. What did he do starve himself and hit the sauna to shed 4 pounds in 24 hours?

He may have had a sore hand but who doesn't.

It was broken.

I fought with sore hands for years.

Hell they still hurt everyday.

Floyd looking for excuses but he clearly won

LMAO, Mayweather can't look the least bit vulnerable without making an excuse for himself.

And bullsh** on weighing 147. Complete bullsh**.

Thought he had the flu, given he was asking for tissues and blowing his nose in some interviews during the last week of the fight. Still NO NEED FOR EXCUSES.

That's at the very most, I had it 10-2 to Floyd, and there was one extra round which I REALLY considered giving to Cotto but thought Floyd just edged, so could understand 9-3.

People are acting like Cotto deserved 4+ rounds solely because he did better in some rounds than most of Floyd's previous opponents, but you can't look at it like that... if you think Floyd got the better of him in the round and Cotto was competitive, Floyd still deserves the win, people are holding him at a higher standard.

People who give Cotto more than 4 are definitely doing so without taking into account how Mayweather was hitting Cotto with bigger, better, and more shots, because Mayweather was actually getting hit. There were two clear Cotto rounds where Floyd laid on the ropes too much and took punches, and two others that were close but I could see him winning. Other than that Floyd won every other round clearly.

He say's in the article he's not blaming anything on the injury, and that it comes with the territory.

Unbelieveable, a WW dominates and beats down upon a Middle weight. Not surprising Floyd was 147 against Cotto, he was 148 fight night against Oscar.

should have kept the one to yourself floyd.

still with him as a true boxing fan after this win of his???

[Boxing's Truth]

Mad props to Cotto for his performance. He made us Puerto Ricans proud last night. He did a lot better than what I thought he would do.

No doubt about it, Floyd won this fight and he continues to show the boxing world that he's the best at adjusting throughout a fight.

I will admit, there were a few times when I saw Floyd in the corner I thought he was beginning to wear down and there was a glimmer of hope for Cotto. But Floyd always finds a way to throw you off.

Big ups to Floyd for standing in there and fighting. Cotto would have beaten anyone else last night.

One last thing. If Floyd had a killer instinct, I would possibly consider him the greatest of all time. But he's content on just outboxing his opponents. Which is cool but going for the kill is what makes Ali the greatest to have ever put the gloves on. Still, Floyd is great...but not the G.O.A.T.

FM looked 2 big 2 have lost weight no way Cotto won 4...Floyd needs to stay @'47 unless he fights Alvarez, who he's embarass...

STILL DEFEND HIM AFTER THIS BEATING FROM COTTO:*******:???
