Last Saturday's weird decision is proof promoters have lost all faith in this bout taking place. I don't think it's ever going to happen now, and if it does, so much time would have passed and the men will be so close to being forced into retirement, it more than likely won't even matter anymore.

And the boxing world, fans, analysts, professional reviewers, etc, have been pretty vocal.

In all honesty, when I first heard of this bout I really wasn't expecting much. Call me crazy if you like, but I thought for sure Floyd "Money" Mayweather was going to coast to an easy victory, by focusing on defense; hit and evasion tactics like he's known for. And seriously, when looking at his opponent Miguel Cotto who could blame him? Cotto boasted a 37 - 2 record with … more

This title fight was held Saturday night on May 5, 2012. The contenders weighed in at a trim 154 pounds. Both Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto were in top shape. The early rounds were awarded to Floyd mostly on the shear volume of punches thrown although Miguel threw some powerful punches of his own. The fight cards were in favor of Floyd 9 rounds to 3 for Miguel … more
