Mayweather - Got hurt by Corley but floored him and won easy on points
Judah - Fairly equally matched , Judah just edged it
Cotto - Almost stopped himself but came back to stop Corley controversially
Witter - Floored/hurt him but it wasnt counted . Won big on points
I would say Mayweather,or Cotto. Cotto hurt him more than anyone but was hurt the most himself but I think he would have stopped him sooner or later. Probably Mayweather overall because he was just shakne for a split second on a few occasions,he dominated the match.
Mayweather. Hands down.
Witter quite obviously ::**
Corley has hurt Cotto, Judah and Floyd, he made tham look vunerable.
In the fight with Cotto the ref was glad he had the chance to stop it, so was Miguel ;D
Against Floyd, if Corley had been a proper light welter and not a lightweight when he hurt Floyd he would have bulldozed him, Corley was a few pounds under the limit at least a week before the fight against witter.
Corley fought scared against Witter, against Cotto, Judah and Floyd he made a fight of it, this alone says Witter gave Corley the roughest ride
Yeah but for ages corley has been more then left overs ;)Quote:

Witter? Quite obviously?Quote:

Corley was beaten up by Floyd the worst. Watch the fight again...haven't seen the Witter fight...but read that Junior didn't do much damage.
Its a pretty tough one - the best defensive performance against Corley was without doubt Witter as he wasnt hardly touched the whole fight but offensivley speaking you could give it to Cotto. And saying that Mayweather perhaps looked the best against him. Quite a tough one to call and it all depends on what your own preference is for the art of boxing.
Just on the subject..Have you ever seen two boxers stand so still as Witter and Corley did at the start of round (r10 ish) for about 10 seconds..I thought my tv had frozen for a second..never seen a moment like that before! I like these bits of showmanship and it added to the chess match style of the fight.

That was quite amusing, i liked witter's 'fencer-like stance' as well. I think Witter definately controlled the match up and although both are counter punchers, it was clear that witter ws much more slicker than corley, in countering.Quote:

Thats crap, he caught Floyd and Floyd fired back and won the round. When he went back to the corner he had a bigger smile on him than Manny Pacquio, he just loved that round. You could see he was absolutely pumped by it and really enjoying the fact he was in a fight.
Then he want on to hand Corely several slices of his own a** for the remaining rounds.
All I can say is, if the ref had not stopped the fight, Cotto would of eventually destroyed Corley.
DeMarcus Corley is an asshole. He said Cotto was not on the level of Zab or PBF and yet in the 5th, and Cotto with out landing one solid blow (cus Cotto misses with 3 wild shots), makes Corley take a knee. He knew Cotto was going for the kill and he should be thanking the ref for saving his ass from a brutal beating.
COTTO hands down!!!
Yeah Floyd had him hurt and outboxed him beautifully
Judah got a split decision!
Witter got a clear cut win over him.
The argument FOR Cotto is that he stopped him and he just battered him over 5 rounds. YES the Ref sucked, yes Cotto got wobbled....HOWEVER
No one else hurt Corley like Miguel, no one stopped him...yeah it was stopped early but you cannot tell me that at round 5 Corley was going to be able to reach the 10th
No way. Corley had Cotto flailing all over the ring, he was way to hurt to say he did the best number on Corley.. Sure you can speculate all you like about what would have happened in the ref hadn't stepped in but the things is, Cotto was coming on pretty strong right before Corley rocked his ass too, and at no point in the fight was Corley anywhere near as hurt as he had Cotto, Ive seen fights stopped for wayy less then how bad Cotto was... Clearly all Demarcus needed to land was the one punch and Cotto was on queer street... So I think the stoppage was bullcrap. You never know what would have happened especially when it can come down to one punch like that.. I think that fight was far from over at that point, Corley still had a very good shot to land something big, and the ref could have at least waited until Corley was taking real punishment to stop it.Quote:
