Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: We Proved Mayweather is Not Invincible!

clear to whom?

Clear to ME. And many others.

Not Baldomir in the dominance. Obviously. Baldomir in the outside-n-moving fight style.

Were YOU not surprised that Floyd elected to sit in the trenches so much?

9-3 is not a bad score. Miguel did well, but because he dominated rd 6, he doesn't get an extra point in another round. ANd he didn't get10-8 in any round he won. So if you don't give Miguel rd 7, is it that bad?

I didnt give miguel round 7. I thought the closest rounds that could have gone either way were 2 and 5 ( i gave 2 to miguel and 5 to may). Round 7 was close, not as close as 2 or 5 and i gave it to may.

I also gave round 3 to miguel, compubox was a joke in that round. It was a give and take round, one in which i couldnt complain too much about giving to mayweather, but cotto did do effective work in that round, landing many hard jabs and good body work, both left and right hooks.

All in all, i wont complain about a 9-3 scorecard, but a 10-2 scorecard, ya i will. Thats seeing the fight entirely through mayweather goggles.

Here's the problem:

Bradley is built and physicall strong. But does he REALLY know how to fight inside? To me, Tim does "a Hatton". He puts his head on your chest and throws a lot of punches to your body and head and he uses his head *******ly.

That works against guys like Junior Witter and Devon Alexander who are not rugged, and who don't know how to fight inside.

That isht would not work against a Mayweather or Hopkins (for example). those are old-school guys who know how to use leverage, elbows, body position, etc.

Look at Floyd inside. He pushes you aside slightly. Locks up your arm. Digs a couple of body shots. Hugs you. Lets you go. Hits you with an upper cut. Then gives you an elbow in the neck for good measure.

Bradley is not a technical inside fighter, He is an energy inside fighter.

Bradley's a better inside fighter than most. Just not as good as Mayweather.

Mayweather does everything better than Bradley.

Defintely agree with you on this one, he could of made the fight a very boring one, and just moved and pot shotted. People are making it out like he was forced into the ropes and had no option to get off them.

Fight canelo damint

You only won round 6 and round 8 then you claim Mayweather's not invincible are you ******ed?
Giving Mayweather a bloodied nose is not winning and other fighters have bloddied that nose before. Pushing Mayweather to the ropes is not winning either. Cotto clearly lost and he should accept his loss with humility.

i had cotto winning 5,6,8,9,and 10

I gave cotto 6,8,9 and wont be mad if you gave him 7.

Timothy Bradley won't be physically stronger than Mayweather at 147. No way, no way at all.

yes he would, Bradley is WAY stronger than floyd physically at any weight

No, it's been said for some time he doesn't have the same mobility he used to.

Against Mosley he stood toe to toe, against Ortiz he stood toe to toe, it was no surprise when he did the same against Cotto.

There were times during the fight when Floyd tried to move away but wasn't quick enough and Cotto (literally) pulled him back in against the ropes with his left arm.

To re-iterate I thought Mayweather dominated a tough fight.

There's no shame in Mayweather fans conceding it was a tough fight, in fact there's more credit in winning a tough fight toe to toe, than an easy one moving around but it's delusion to claim the latter option was open to him on this occasion. If Mayweather could have made it easier for himself, he would have.

See I thought Floyd sitting down on his punches inside is where he shined
When he tried to pot shot Cotto pushed him to the ropes or surprised him with jabs.

I need to see it again but thats what I saw.

Hatton had attempted to outhustle Mayweather from the start but his tactics seldom worked and the American held a huge points advantage by the time the fight was stopped.

"I felt alright tonight, really big and strong but I left myself open. He's better inside than I thought, with all the elbows and shoulders and forearms he used," said Hatton after the fight. "I didn't quite stick to my game-plan. He's not the biggest welterweight I've fought but he was very strong. I don't think he was the hardest puncher tonight but he was a lot more clever than I expected. I'll be back, don't worry."
