Scores were too wide, but the right guy won.

It was a clear fight for Mayweather but for once it was him fighting it out i thought he was going to knock Cotto out in the last round. I think he is kinda looking old though he is a lot slower then i remember.
Yeah, the right guy won, but I thought the scores should have been much closer.
I will say that Floyd sealed the deal in the 12th round
Not a bad fight, Cotto did what he had to do, try to make a brawl out of, but Floyd was up to the task.
I would have loved to see Cotto win, but Mayweather showed he's still a hell of a fighter.
Martinez would mash Floyd based on this
He rallied in round 7 and from then on he put on a spanking. Moreever if there was any justice in the world Macklin would have came in the ring as a champion himself. That aside, why is it frowned upon if a champ overcomes?
That aside I do think Mayweather Martinez would truly be intriguing like when Duran fought Hagler.
Im not discrediting Martinez its just the other guy, said based on Mayweather's fight tonight Martinez would beat Mayweather. Im just saying Martinez hasn't looked overly good in his last 2 fights, i don't think many people expected Barker, Macklin, to trouble Martinez as much as they did.
Fair play to Martinez he comeback in both fights, but i don't see anything in Martinez apart from the size that gives Mayweather any problems what so ever. Barker at times was busting up Martinez with solid jab and right hands, i honestly think Mayweather would beat Martinez handily.
And for the record i had Macklin/Sturm a draw.
I can see how that can be scored as a draw. As for Mayweather Martinez. I would give the edge to mayweather, however martinez did one thing that impressed the crap out of me, He outjabbed a fantastic jabber and consistantly landed hard right handed jabs. Mayweather as shown tonight as well as vs De La Hoya has a problem with jabs (to be fair all fighters have problems against good jabs) But that would give martinez an advantage in terms of keeping the fight at a distance.
