Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather Jabs Miguel: Floyd Beat Cotto's Ass Easy

[Capaedia]

I like how Floyd goes out of his way to show Miguel all the respect he deserves, and Roger just... Is Roger...

Castillo was robbed in that first fight. he clearly won it!!!!!!!!!

thats debatable the history books say floyd won. but here is the real deal, what happened in the second fight??????? floyd took castillo into deep water and drowned him. unlike pac who continues to have major problems with JMM some people say JMM won all three fights. i gave pac the first fight even though JMM outclassed pac. how? by making a monumental comeback and making the fight into a helluva dog fight. and JMM clearly won the last two. even though pac and roach thought they had JMM when they made the fight at 147 insted of 140. but they forgot to tell JMM he was supposed to get KTFO. LOL jokes on them.

I wouldn't call it "easy" but I don't know a single sane human being who thought the fight was closer the second time they watched it. Fight was much less cmpetitive after watching it again.

I watched the fight 5 times and although I thought Floyd won I thought it was a close fight.

Anyone who thanks this fight was close has poor boxing judgement. There is a reason why three professional judges only gave Miguel Cotto 2-3 rounds on the Official scorecards. The proper thing to say is that it was an competitive fight. If you look at the compubox, Cotto only outlanded Mayweather in one round the eight. Mayweather was clearly the harder puncher, and landed the cleanest punches. Boxing is scored by rounds, not its entirety. There were about 3 close rounds, that Miguel let slip away by doing absolutely nothing to win them. If Cotto could have landed 3-4 good punches in those round and won maybe 2 of them, then this fight woud have been close. The best round for Cotto is when he landed 20 punches to Mayweather 15. While the rounds in which Mayweather dominated were much wider in punches landed, by the way Mayweather was clearly resting in that round.

i won't argue that cotto won the fight but compubox numbers are simply inaccurate and should not be used to prove a point.

Eh .. that could be true, but Cotto really only won 2 rounds out of 12. You could argue three but even that would be pushing it.

Fact is that Cotto was missing and hitting arms and shoulders all night.

The only reasons that Cotto was given more credit than Mosley is because:

1 - Cotto made Floyd's nose bleed.

2 - Cotto tried to rough it up every round.

In the end, Cotto was getting tagged for his troubles just as much as Mosley, except Mosley actually made fans believe that he stood a chance by rocking Floyd .. something Miguel never did.

The single most important reason that Cotto won in defeat was that Floyd didn't walk through Miguel, despite the fight being at 154lbs .. a weight that Floyd knows is clearly not his best.

People need to wake up and factor ***** like that in. There are brain-damaged Cotto fans running around claiming that Cotto was robbed, when in reality he won 2 rounds. That's not debatable.

So if Floyd goes up to MW and beats Martinez but doesn't look like he does it easily, does that mean that Martinez is better than we thought? Or does it simply mean that the extra weight was supposed to play into Martinez' favor like it did with Cotto?

Some people think with their hearts for sure.
