    No mention of Pacquiao specifically? lol. Strong bias poll.
    Guy wins 4 rounds and if you watched the fight extremely close could have given him more. He also hurts Floyd on 2 occasions and Mayweathers connect percentage is the lowest of his entire career.

    How the **** does Cotto give Mayweather a tougher fight

      How is the poll biased? I included a "Someone else." option. If you think that Manny was Mayweather's toughest fight choose that option. But honestly that fight was a disgrace.

      Btw, Pac did not bust up Mayweather the way Cotto did. Pac just gave Mayweather a little bump on his lip; whereas Miguel busted up Floyd's face.

        Physically the toughest? Have to go with Augustus, Maidana and perhaps Cotto then Castillo in that order.

        Closest is Castillo despite the wide card, followed by Maidana 1, where score was prettt good. ODLH fight was not close at all despite the post fight narrative and official scorecard.
        I didn't say "closest," I said "toughest" so physically toughest fight.

          Looooool. Cotto actually took Floyd out of his comfort zone. #48, not so much.

          On topic, it's Castillo.

              Castillo 1 or Maidana 1.

              They're the only fights he's had that could have gone either way.

                Most physically tough fight. Not closest.

                      Yea by landing a few jabs and bodyshots
                      And somehow Floyd getting hurt twice, losing 4 rounds and having the lowest connect percentage of his entire career against Pacquiao is still in Floyds comfort zone?
