By Dan Ambrose: Miguel Cotto’s ex-trainer Emanuel Steward thinks that Cotto blew it by failing to use his jab enough in his recent 12 round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th. Steward saw the fight there for the taking of Cotto had fought behind a strong jab the entire fight.
Mayweather vs. Cotto
Mayweather-Cotto’s 1.5 million PPV buys will blow away what Pacquiao-Bradley will bring in
By Chris Williams: I really hate to say this but Manny Pacquiao’s fate has been sealed with Floyd Mayweather Jr’s monstrous 1.5 million pay-per-view buys for his fight against Miguel Cotto last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mayweather moved up to fight Cotto, Will Pac?
By Robert Elmore: The first time Manny Pacquaio and Miguel Cotto fought it was for the WBO title and it was at a catch weight of 145. Originally, Cotto was sticking to his guns saying the fight should take place at the full 147 pounds.
Cotto needs to press for a rematch with Mayweather
By Allan Fox: Rather than choosing to fight other top fighters like Saul Alvarez, Sergio Martinez or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former two-division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) needs to put all his efforts into getting a rematch with WBA junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s), because it’s the best option for both fighters right now.
Mayweather would easily beat Cotto in a rematch
By Dan Ambrose: If WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto fights an immediate rematch with Miguel Cotto, he’ll likely completely dominate Cotto to where he won’t win one round. The reason for this is because Mayweather fought Cotto’s fight in order to give the boxing fans their money’s worth on pay per view and at the fight.
Mayweather strategy: When all else fails blame Arum
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Undefeated superstar and new WBA light middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) is fresh off of Saturday nights harder than expected win over former champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s).

Cotto has his pick of big name opponents for next fight
By Allan Fox: Despite losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last Saturday night and losing his WBA 154 pound title, Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) remains hugely popular and very much in demand by other top fighters in the game. The loss to Mayweather, as close as it was, didn’t hurt Cotto one bit, as he has no shortage of top fighters interested in taking him on.
Mayweather fortunate he was not fighting Pacquiao
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In what proved to be a far better fight than anyone thought possible, former WBA light middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) gave a very good account of himself Saturday night against undefeated superstar new WBA light middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s).
Mayweather Jr. even more popular after Cotto fight
By Chris Williams: You’d think that with the way that Floyd Mayweather Jr. struggled to beat WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto by a 12 round last weekend that Mayweather’s appeal would have slipped a couple of notches with boxing fans, but that’s not the case.
Mayweather the Gentlemen: The Fighter
By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: I’ve followed Floyd Mayweather Jr’s career and it wasn’t until his fight against Oscar De La Hoya that he took on the bad boy image. While I’m able to distinguish between Floyd the entertainer, and Floyd the person outside the ring, others may not.
