Debunking myths 101. Cotto did better than anyone (or most) against Floyd

[ADP02]

Cotto had a good round but gassed out after that round and couldn't continue the pace for the remaining rounds.

Oh really funny..... not.

Floyd fans were laughing no matter which round we saw that should have or could have been scored the other way around.

Round 3 is the perfect example of a round where a Floyd fan presented gifs which were laughable compared to Manny's offense from that round.

Those 2 116-112 scored by the judges could have very easily have been 114-114 or 113-115. Vegas judges favored the Vegas fighter.

Keep bargaining bro. You must go through the 5 stage process to cope with your loss.

I'll step aside and give you your space.

The guys that did the best vs floyd

1. Castillo 1.
2. Maidana 1
3. Oscar
4. Cotto

Those are the only guys to give floyd a competitive fight for 12 rds...

I actually thought Cotto had a shot at winning that fight after round 8 (I think it was after 8, been a while since I saw that fight)...and then Floyd easily swept the last 4 rounds.

yep Floyd even asked his corner between rounds, was he winning

Pretty much.

Maidana somehow almost sneaked in a win, on an off day for Mayweather imo. Castillo 1 is 50-50, but I haven't seen it in a long time. Cotto wasn't that competitive, neither was Oscar. They both had 2-3 good rounds max. Hatton was doing better than those guys before the KO.

FACT's are: Floyd did NOT land as effectively as he did against these opponents who supposedly "did better" aka Cotto, Maidana, some even say Guerrero.

FACT: Pacquiao landed more impressive punches than these guys.

These are the facts!

You won't see many other highlights of guys landing the clean flush stanky leg inducing punches Pacquiao landed, whilst he gave Floyd his lowest connect %

These are the facts!

what about when maidana knocked out floyds tooth at the end of the round. Floyd looked badly hurt in fact if that was a minute earlier I bet he could have been finished

[BrometheusBob.]

Fact: Pacquiao embarrassed himself against Mayweather and was never competitive. He was about as competitive as Canelo was, and Canelo is just about the greenest fighter Mayweather ever fought. Watch in mute doe

Fact: "Miguel Cotto was my toughest opponent" - Floyd Mayweather, 10 May 2012

Fact: "Manny Pacquiao, you will never be on my level. Period. Simple and Plain" - Floyd Mayweather, 08 May 2015

Beyond buggin. Pac landed clean shots, granted they were few and far between. Canelo basically got shut out from beginning to end.

[Fetta]

Cotto did good. Had it 8-4 even 7-5. Gassed championship rounds. Got stunned 12. But good fight.

Number 2 choice after WARKhan!!!

Watched that clip a bunch of times and I'm almost certain it's not a tooth but yes that was a beautiful shot. A shame it didn't come earlier in the round.

We all know Mayweather will never acknowledge Castillo or Oscar.

Mayweather had to give everything he got to defeat them both.
How are not those fights his toughest?
vs Castillo, he had to give 100%
Vs Os car he had to give MORE Because Oscar was the man to beat and Mayweather had to win clean and Clear, to take the decision.
How is not this his toughest fight?

Is pure logic.
But like mayweather , many people here are delusional.
Cotto giving him his toughest fight? sure right.

Castillo and Oscar says hi.
