Video: Floyd Mayweather “Cotto is tougher Maidana. He and Canelo hit harder”

“Miguel Cotto is tougher. I’m not going to lie. That’s one thing I’m not going to do. Miguel Cotto is a tougher fighter and he hit harder. Canelo hit harder than him (Maidana). Yes, Canelo hits harder.

“Like I said, I take nothing away from him. He’s tough and he’s very, very rugged. Now, I could have made this fight very easy, but it would have been boring and I didn’t want to do that for the fans. These fans are paying serious money to come out here and support the fighters, so we gotta give them what they want to see. … Canelo hit with a left hook that I still feel.”
