Cotto: "Hardest fight for me...Mayweather" "145 catchweight Pac did affect me..."

[bojangles1987]

He is clearly lying, look at the first Margarito fight.

I meant the weight, not the hardest fight comment. I fully believe fighters lie all the time about how hard fights are or how hard guys hit and stuff like that. World class fighters, especially big draws like Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Chavez Jr., etc., have massive egos and will say what suits them best in the moment.

The very idea that a fight where Cotto fought well and didn't take too much punishment was harder than a fight where he spent half it running to escape getting his ass kicked and wasn't competitive is ridiculous.

Guess that's why he had Cw's with Margo and Sergio

Hes denying it by saying Floyd was

Thats called being self serving. Like Floyds toughest opponent Augustus, Toneys McCallum and not Rjj who outclassed him etc

If you say so.

Who are we to argue with someone that face them in the ring? I don't give a toss what people say but this is not the first time a fighter would come out and say "So so and so was my hardest fight"... Just because we watch them and see their reaction in those particular fight doesn't mean we were the ones taking those punches.

What made him done? Then Cotto was done for Floyd, coming off 2 brutal beatdowns. What did marg fail to bring to the show vs Pac? His chin was awesome, stamina on point, threw way more than most Pac opponents

Done because Margarito never even beat a top 10 contender after the Mosley fight. If that needs to be explained to you, then you have no credibility in this discussion.

Cotto also had no problems with losing to Margarito, until someone showed him a picture with string on Tony's glove. Dude is a crybaby.

No, thar 1 year suspension from the sport is more like it. The string theory alone, does not make Marg's wraps magically plaster free.

Why isn't this believable, for one it's well known that post CLottley Cotto said he couldnt make wight and would move up, on top of that Roach had a million dollar per pound penalty to have hanging in the back of his mind when he already knew he couldnt make that weight and be 100%, thirdly Cotto was fighting without a trainer here.....

Even still Cotto nearly swept the early rounds before the fluke knockdown, and on jelly legs was able to box, and make Manny look like a complete fool before the frivolous stoppage with like a minute left in the fight.....Manny dropped him twice, and side from a round here or there, he didnt do too much the fight was no domination........

Now vs Floyd I'm sure Cotto understands that Mayweather was playing a cat and mouse game, everything Cotto did Mayweather alowed it, firstly Mayweather is boxing the hell out of Cotto the first 5 rounds landing 4-5 punch combos and buckling 2-3 times along the way, then he mysteriously sits on the ropes, throwing some of the most nonchalant pitty pat shots I ever saw Floyd throw, even stopping mid combo to slap 5 with Cotto 2-, while allowing Cotto to tee off, even dapping Cotto up 3-4 times mid combo...while bloody and taken to a place we never seen Mayweather at, worrying some of his fans, Mayweather was bloody with the maniacal smile and saying that mutha****a running. That showed Floyd is a different type of animal than 99% of boxer these days, and that his fights are glorified sparring session, he has levels he aint show yet, that he flicks off and on the switch. After like 3 rounds of Cotto onslaught, Mayweather isn back bouncing on his feet like its round one, spinning Cotto off the ropes with no effort, buckling him twice in the middle of the ring, all the while Mayweather backed off twice when all he needed to do was deliver the kill shot......That fight was a brutal battle fight physically as seen with Cotto being held up and stumbling to his locker room, but also mental wise Mayweather toyed with a world class athlete, while Cotto was giving his heart out, Mayweather, was smiling dapping 5 and relishing the opportunity of that level being brought of him and having to take the fight up to another gear


I'm not saying Cotto beats Manny, because historically he looks like trash v south paws but believing what Cotto says is a not a strtch, being that he said he couldnt make WW beforehand, and him being trainer less that fight
