Well Mayweather did hurt Cotto in the 12th, Margacheato should have every win and title he ever won scrubbed from the records, and Cotto should never have agreed to fight Pac at that weight; just wasn't good for his body. Anyway, Cotto is a future HOF.
I remember when cotto is in the welther weights and he was feared as a very dangerous fighter before with Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Berto, and Paul Williams and during that times, Floyd Mayweather chickened out and retired and waited for those latino feared boxer to slow down. Cotto really shined better in the welther weights every one knows that before than in middle weights. When Floyd saw that Miguel is slowing down he fought him because Floyd knows he already has the advantage.
COTTO fought Like a "FEROCIOUS" LION!!!!! A True SPARTAN!!!!!! Cotto's ability to make quick effective adjustments were incredible. Cotto alway's stood in the gym even after hour's training ferociously. A Boxing Legendary Hall of Famer🥊🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Cotton was a monster also in his prime. And had the courage to not accept easy Opponent's that's why Cotton agreed to fight Randell Bailey. GREAT 👌 Performance by the "Puerto Rican Brother Warrior" Cotton threw excellent combinations to both the body and head of Bailey. Power Counter punching from Cotton "Superior" Body attack's accurate execution of punches with precision. And Superb defense along with "Perfect" timing & "Movement" by the Puerto Rican Gladiator. Puerto Rican "POWER" because every Puerto Rican that Walks this Planet is a "WARRIOR" 💪🥊🏆
Floyd was 35 years old too. People act like floyd was young in the Cotto fight. Cotto was hurt by Corley and Torres but Cotto was feared. I like Cotto but he had flaws way before he fought Mosley. Mayweather wanted to fight Cotto at 140 but people kept saying that Cotto was too young and didn't have enough experience.
I wanted to see this version of Cotto who was at his physical peak and prime of his career against Pretty Boy Mayweather. But we all know Bob Arum ruined boxing and wasn't going to give us the best match-ups at the right time that we as fans wanted to see. I'll still favor Floyd to win but it would be far more competitive than what we saw 8 years after this bout that you are watching currently. But hats off to Cotto that man was a great fighter and a beast in that ring at 140 lbs.

Floyd has no opponents left really to face, i'd love to see the pacquiao fight just to see how it pans out, A rematch with Cotto would be interesting as Cotto said to Roach if he was in the shape he is now he thinks he would of knocked mayweather out. Despite what anyone says i will always say a prime cotto beats mayweather.
Roy's speech is still pretty clear today unlike his old Nemesis James "Pork Chop" Toney! At least even after all the brutal losses Jones has suffered in the last 8 years, we don't need subtitles to understand what the hell he's saying..
This was cottos best weight class. At welterweight he was average and at jr middle weight he was horrible. Pacman and margacheato beat the hell out of him and crippled cotto.
Floyd and Cotto were both welterweight champions and they were both Top Rank fighters up until 2007. Bob Arum didn't make them fight because he knew Cotto would get destroyed. Same goes for Margacheato.
I don't think floyd would have destroyed cotto. Cotto would have always gave floyd a handful. Styles make fights. Floyd lost his power by the time cotto was in.
bailey landed at least 4 killer shots to cotto chin and miguel took it like notting happen. i think the only fighter who really hurt cotto for good was ricardo torres. sice torres nobody really hurt farelly miguel cotto : pacquiao beat a 10kilos lighter cotto(in these fight miguel was 155pounds. margarito cheated , and mayweather did not enough to deserve a win vs cotto. next miguel fight will be vs trout . i personally saw very little about these guy, i 'nt think he's better then mayweather.

Welterweight is where cotto declined. Margarito and pacman destroyed him.
Floyd spent most of his career avoiding PRIME Elite fighters.

cotto had balls taking this fight. most up and comers nowadays stay the hell away from fighters with that much of a knockout record

Your right he floyd fought Brusseles to give a example if cotto would do well against him and Brusseles got destroyed in 5 rounds i think

In the photo that HBO was using, Cotto kind of looks like Mares to me. I find it odd, because I've never thought that the 2 of them look alike.
You can tell Cotto felt that power early.
wow a young cotto ...and his fighting at 140 that was yrs ago lol..

And some kids are saying that Cotto was chinny at 140. He took bombs from the hardest puncher in the game.
a priime bailey. was a monster
I'm surprised they didn't show that amazing 41 sec ko of undefeated Carlos Gonzalez, also a huge puncher, among his notable wins...stupid HBO!

Fight starts at about 7:00

That's different,, James Toney isn't an annalyst for HBO....
Wow, I totally forgot that Cotto used to have a right hand.
just like a sci-ent-ist, when he's ap-ply-in' this.
This was cottos best weight class. At welterweight he was average and at jr middle weight he was horrible. Pacman and margacheato beat the hell out of him and crippled cotto.
wow roy doesn't slur at all here..
corly hurt him
Corley hurts Money eather.
chose to
yeah floyd was ducking hem everytime cotto was on his division maychicken wheather move to next division runing
yeah you right he should grow a big afro, that would be cool
tale of the tape always gets height wrong no way is miguel 5,8 he is 5,6 - 5,7 max
Hes about 5 "7 1/2. Canelo looks short too.
Bailey was feeling those. He wasn't the hardest puncher in all this. He was also getting combo'd.
Floyd and Cotto were both welterweight champions and they were both Top Rank fighters up until 2007. Bob Arum didn't make them fight because he knew Cotto would get destroyed. Same goes for Margacheato.
I don't think floyd would have destroyed cotto. Cotto would have always gave floyd a handful. Styles make fights. Floyd lost his power by the time cotto was in.
Lol a prime cotto would’ve koed floyd, he just fought cotto at a time where he wasnt the fighter that he once was
bailey landed at least 4 killer shots to cotto chin and miguel took it like notting happen. i think the only fighter who really hurt cotto for good was ricardo torres. sice torres nobody really hurt farelly miguel cotto : pacquiao beat a 10kilos lighter cotto(in these fight miguel was 155pounds. margarito cheated , and mayweather did not enough to deserve a win vs cotto. next miguel fight will be vs trout . i personally saw very little about these guy, i 'nt think he's better then mayweather.
