Mayweather's Last 6 opponents - who put up the best fight?

[LacedUp]

Cotto was really the only one putting up a fight?

Typical basing his decision on things that didn't happen!

Well it's obvious you hate Ortiz for some reason. And it's obvious you like to start with people over the internet when their opinion isn't the same as yours. It's a waste of time talking to people like you who think their right all the time.

I don't hate Ortiz I like him just fine in fact if you had any idea I was one of his biggest defenders after he lost to Maidana and Lopez. your opinions are just based on silly nonsense a bunch of coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Okay, than why are you so against me saying Ortiz was more competitive than Canelo? Canelo did absolutely nothing in his fight with Floyd. It was such a boring fight where Canelo did almost nothing. He won maybe 2 rounds at the very most. At least the Ortiz fight for while it lasted wasn't a snoozefest & Ortiz put up a fight for some of it until he screwed up.

Ortiz broke down mentally which I wish he would stop doing that maybe he wouldn't be the ass end of so many jokes. Canelo fought hard the whole fight and was actually able to match Floyds punch output when Floyd usually throws more punches than his opponents even though he barely punches himself.

I thought Cotto out of that list. De La Hoya and Hatton did better against Mayweather than the rest of that list.

I think it is fair to debate "might have beens". Look, I don't think Ortiz would have done much but I agree he had better foot work and and seemed "stronger" in the ring with Mayweather of the 6 of anyone not named Cotto. That being said Ortiz didn't screw up. Ortiz mentally broke in that fight. He would have probably gotten knocked out. Once you let Mayweather in your head you stop being remotely competetive.

All this is fun but the answer to the poll is Cotto. Maybe it was because Mayweather fought the way he did but you can't take away the good work Cotto did.

Easily cotto. He actually tried to go toe-to-toe with Mayweather. Everyone else tried to box, like idiots.

The Ghost tried.......if that's what you want to call that.

Cotto was the only one that didn't get emotional in the ring. Floyd was in Ortiz's head and frustrated him and that's what led to the headbutt. Canelo couldn't hit Floyd and that's what led to that half-ass shoulder shrug to Floyd's chin. You gotta remove the emotion to beat this guy.

miguel cotto hurt floyd, but didn't realise and missed a great chance of winning
