Cotto and Maidana were not Mayweather's toughest fights but if people want to buy into Showtime selling PPV hype then so be it. Mayweather's toughest fight was JLC I and he won the second fight convincingly because he adjusts like all great athletes do. The sad part is people are calling the Cotto fight and the Maidana fight close when in reality they were clear cut decisions. By Floyd's standards they were close but Mayweather was the obvious winner in both unless you're in denial. The smart money is Floyd by UD at +115.
