Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Augustus Was Tough, Cotto Was Tougher

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Miguel Cotto may have lost the fight, but he certainly earned the respect of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Prior to Saturday night's main event, Mayweather (43-0, 26KOs) praised Emanuel Augustus as being the toughest opponent of his 16 year career. Mayweather stepped in the ring with Augustus [then 22-16] at the Cobo Hall in Detroit on October 21, 2000 - and stopped the tough veteran in nine rounds.

Nice to see Floyd give props to Cotto. Cotto and Floyd gave us a real fight.

It was a good fight, and a good night overall.

Wotto came in tough and put on a good show. I had it 116-112 for Floyd but it was a great night of boxing and glad Floyd gave him props. Cotto deserves the respect and showed he is not shot or done as so many claimed

[VanillaBuron]

we all saw that it was a good competitive fight, well worth staying up till 6am

Yea, Castillo was the only other one to push Floyd that much. Cause while this was a clear win, Cotto hit every part of Floyd's body. His arms and shoulders are probably hurting today. It was a grueling fight for both guys.

Already promoting the rematch. Lol

I wouldn't say that, it would be more like grandstanding trying to make his win seem better especially since it was a fight people really liked.

Floyd is usually very complimentery after fights, but Cotto deserves it.

Props to Floyd for keeping it real. It's a shame most of his fans don't.
