Finally caught the Mayweather vs Cotto fight. Gotta give Mayweather all the credit he claims of being the best pound-for-pound boxing champion today. The Cotto fight makes it harder for anyone to dispute that claim.
He came into the ring against a big, strong opponent who had a good fight plan. Challenger Miguel Cotto earned Mayweather's respect and the fans admiration for giving Money May more trouble in the ring than any other opponent so far.
Bloodied nose and battered face did not stop Mayweather from winning a grueling fight. Cotto felt he might have been slighted by the scorecards but fans know, to be the champ you really have to "Beat" the champ. The champ remains unbeaten.
Cotto might've come closest to beating Mayweather, but he did not win the fight in the eyes of all but hispanic fans. Mayweather's defensive skills and offensive strategy makes it hard and frustrating for any challenger to pressure him, much less get a solid punch in. Again, Cotto came close, but close don't get you the crown. That crown will sit on the head of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., who's only loss to date has been in the criminal courts of Nevada where he'll begin serving his 90 day sentence in a Clark County detention center come June 1st.
Yeah Floyd, the world knows you as a champion and a man. That's something no Nevada court or jail can strip you of. Congratulations Champ!
And just look at what awaits Money on the couch at home upon completing his sentence; fiancee Miss Shantel Jackson.
cut me Mick, cut me!
