Comments Thread For: Mayweather Had Left Hand Injury, Fought Cotto at 147

Like him or hate him undoubtedly Floyd is 1 of these special fighters that come around every so often & people could say what they want & think about him but that doesn't take away the fact that he's 1 of the most talented fighters out there that has taken on practically everyone & has beaten them & is a future hall of famer & when he retires is gonna be considered 1 of the greatest of all time..

I watched the fight with a group of Mexicans and a Cuban and we all agreed Cotto won. Even though we don't like him! Robbery in Vegas. Just like they did to Márquez vs Pac.

i noticed floyd wince after throwing a left that didnt land cleanly, i dont think he is lying. he didnt jab much in the second half of the fight and it could also explain why he was going against the ropes so much, to give him a couple of rounds to let it get a bit better.

people that are saying cotto won need to re-watch the fight with a non-biased attitude, you may not like floyd but he definitely won this fight. i think cotto gained more respect from floyd, he proved to be tougher and a cleverer boxer than he, may, had thought.

Great fight but Floyd is a sucker for straight lefts. Cotto had success with it last night and so did Judah against floyd. Now who has probably the most effective straight left in boxing? Pacman, and he throws it with authority! Why do u think Floyd Sr isn't to keen on his son fighting southpaws? Floyds shoulder roll defense isnt effective against the straight left.

I doubt very much Floyd would have lost 4 lbs in one day. That's crazy. If anything I figure he was about 153 on fight night. At the lightest, 151. It's like he's trying to squeeze more credit. But he already deserves plenty of credit because he fought a great fight against a great competitor.

I was really impressed with Floyd's defense last night. I've never seen a defense so good before....I hate it that he is so good. That being said, Cotto did far better than the piss poor judges said he did. I gave Cotto 5 rounds because Mayweather wasn't landing much at all and Cotto was forcing Floyd around the ring.

Cotto's jab was key...it was a much better fight than the Ortiz debacle

Were yous blind drunk?

I thought the judges scorecards were right, and think anyone who's claiming Cotto dominated Floyd and deserved a win or draw need to go see an optician. He won 3 rounds at the most in my eyes.

About the injury, it could be plausible as you saw Floyd switch to southpaw very briefly once or twice, then quickly went back to orthodox after reconsidering... which could indicate him struggling to use his left hand, who knows... but I'm not gonna read into it too much, Floyd won the fight and it was overall a good night of Boxing, was an exciting fight - which people often complain saying Mayweather is boring, well this even well and truly delivered!

respect that you stressed its your opinion and not try to state it as fact. thats rare.

You started tonight with respect now your spinning sheeet , Cotto fought great at this weight and no wonder Manny dont want nothing to do with him , but cut crap Floyd dominated tonight in a tough fight .

wow you are a hardcore bum polisher. possibly the biggest on site.

Did just read were somebody thought Cotto won that fight if so can you please tell me what fight you watched because it was not the one that was on my 60 inch screen last night I'd give Cotto maybe 3 rounds!
