Now I know 100% for sure, that the Pacman would whupp Mayweather's ass.
Great fight btw.

That is such a lame analysis. I believe that Mayweather hadn't stepped up and fought Pacquiao earlier because Pacquiao used to be less predictable. Every fighter says nearly the same think that the angles is what troubled them. Pacquiao is a southpaw not the same as Cotto so you can't really apply because "Pacquiao is less technically sound he's a less effective than Cotto against a pure boxer like Mayweather". In fact, because Pacquiao's fighting technique not traditional it makes him more difficult to fight.
I think the biggest mental difference between Cotto and Mayweather is that Mayweather changes his style round by round, a la Hopkins. Ward and Bradley do this as well to various degrees.

I think the people thinking Cotto won or it was close must have been watching on dodgy streams. Anybody want to speculate why Floyd spent so much time on the ropes? Becasue his legs have gone or just to show everybody how good he is?

You guys are trying to compare a guy who at times fights erratic and without a superior defense (PAC) to Cotto who fights very measured and has a really good defense.
Also you must have forgot Floyd moved up and fought a full fledged Cotto not a freeze dried one 10+ pounds lighter like PAC starved him too

I didn't exactly want Cotto to win but I found myself being disappointed by Cotto's efforts AFTER his best round of the fight (and more importantly, the round that he did almost everything I said he should).
And where was the southpaw Cotto athis right hand connection rate was poor as fuck but you could see he wanted it to be a big part of his arsenal... Just turn your feet around ffs!

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Well, the good news to me out of all of this is that my casual boxing friends enjoyed every fight on that card except for Forbes/Vargas. Which means they are more inclined to watch again.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
