    Just rewatched Mayweather vs Cotto on Fox....

    I don't know how some say this fight is not worth a rematch but Maidana rematch is okay.

    I had the score a tie after 8 ROUNDS! A tie! With Mayweather after 8!?

    Gave rounds 2,5,6, and 8 to Cotto, but after that it was all Floyd.

    Floyd took the championship rounds. All four. But even those were close, with the exception of round 12. He almost KOed Cotto.

    I would love to see a rematch, it was a chess match. Cotto needs to find a way to avoid that right hook. Floyd was killing him with it pretty much the whole fight.

    Great fight.

    The world knows he could have Ko'ed Cotto but backed off and let him survive, although close and a tough match, there is a belief that Mayweather hand walked Cotto through the fight, and too many people and believing a rematch...........Was the reason Floyd backed off was for future rematch purposes?????????

      You must be smoking some good $h1t. You sound higher than the clouds in the sky.


      you could only give round 6 and 8 to Cotto.

      This fight is not worth a rematch. Mayweather would shut him out in a rematch.

        I don't believe in conspiracy theories.

        If Cotto got KOed in last round, I would still have the same opinion on the fight and still have it a tie after eight rounds. Still would want to see rematch.

        How about a boxer is smart enough to back off of a hurt fighter because they are usually at their most dangerous?...I believe this happens a lot in boxing too.

            You think Floyd almost knocked out Cotto??? No way! He almost knocked him down but he wasn't knocking out nothing bro. PAC caught him with an uppercut that lifted and sent Cotto flying and he got right back up. Took a beating after but he got up. So I honestly don't think Floyd was gonna knock him out. Just would have scored a knockdown.

                That must be some awful weed if we agree on two out of 4 rounds!?

                Also if you look around, there are many writers and fans who gave 3 or 4 rounds to Cotto but the minority...only a few that had him only winning 2.
                I'm guessing they were the ones high as the sky.

                  I also had it even after 8. Cotto doesn't get enough credit for that performance, nor does Pedro Diaz.

                  Cotto was spent after the big effort in the 8th. Floyd was far more energetic in the 9th and he took the last four rounds. An argument could be made for Cotto in the 10th as Floyd did almost nothing in that round. But he was firmly in control of the fight at that point. Cotto was out of gas.

                    Hell yah it was a good fight...most definitely better comp.that Chino. Floyd had to think against Cotto and Cotto too...it was a chess match.
