Did Floyd Mayweather get tired at the end of Rd. 5 Vs Miguel Cotto?

[A-Wolf]

Cotto showed Mayweather's true level. Floyd's lucky he's the only guy in the sport with something resembling the complete package in terms of overall athleticism and intelligence... Floyd Mayweather the false ruler... The ignoble king. He sits next to Justin Beiber. Literally. This is their time.

A few times he was visibly tired in the fight

I guess I'm not seeing too much of that, 303. Maybe a little. I do think Cotto cracked Floyd with a nice left hook-slap with 0:37 left in the round, which probably accounted for a slightly 'woozier' Floyd in the final bit. But to me Floyd never looked in trouble, and TBH he showed me that on top of so many other fine attributes, he even seems to possess a pretty tough chin to boot.

Nor did pacman. Both were avoiding guys in my opinion

Manny was fighting south of 140 when Cotto was a top welterweight. Floyd won his first WW title in 2006. Manny wasfighting at 130 at that time.

Your post makes no sense. This is what happens when u try to hate when there is nothing to really hate on.

yeah but Mayweather finished stronger

[Larry the boss]

All you say may be true..BUT somehow Floyd finished stronger and almost dropped Cotto in the 12th..seems like you are looking at all the negative for Floyd without showing how he overcame adversity

this was a close fight. maybe not on the cards because floyd did do enough to win most of the rounds but a lot of them were close. floyd had to ask his corner after the 10th if he was winning.

I looked it up and he did, seems like he had a lot of self-doubt at that point. I figure Cotto's early investment to the body and Floyd's crushed nose helped him rally the middle rounds.This was a very competitive fight with Floyd edging it in the championship rounds when Cotto started gassing. Floyd's 12 round stamina is actually one of his greatest assets.

The bold is an exarggeration, I know it's Maywetaher but I can't believe people are making such a big deal out of a bloody nose! The Cotto fight was competitive in spurts and showed the world what many already knew which is that Cotto has heart and Mayweather really isn't a 154lb fighter.

I'm probably in a minority with my opinion but I think Floyd chose to stand toe to toe / in the pocket (if u can call it that) with Cotto, I think he wanted to give him his type of fight, I think he allowed it to try and let Cotto know he couldn't beat him in a fight that he's comfortable with style-wise
Although I do agree Cotto did give Mayweather more problems than he probably anticipated, I think he easily coulda spun off the ropes and into the centre of the ring if he wanted to (as we saw in Guerro and many other previous fights)

I don't expect to be seeing that this month though.
