I admire Floyd more now than before, because he met Cotto's challenge head-on, and both gave the crowd one of the more crowd-pleasing championship fights we've seen in years. I gave Miguel 5 rounds, although I'd like to see it again and score it again. Maybe I'll see it differently next time.

The sad part is, as happens with all great fights. With time, all people will remember is the unanimous decision win for Floyd over Cotto. One more notch in his belt. To be grouped into the other victims like Ortiz, Marquez, Hatton, etc. When in reality, it was nothing like those fights. As a Cotto fan, the only comfort I have is that Floyd himself knows he was in a real war... and he gave his kudos to Cotto in a very sportsmanlike manner after the fight. In a strange way, I think the Cotto fight has even increased Floyd's legacy in the boxing world.

Dude it you sound like a serious fanboy right about now, was your account hacked or something??

What's the problem? I've always been a Cotto fan. How is this strange to you? Or do you mean Floyd? Explain yourself please.
Tito I know he's your fav fighter but I thought you were alot more objective then this. Perhaps you should watch the fight again, you say you gave Cotto 5 rounds, which ones were they? I gave him 3 rounds, lets stretch and say 4, they were not even the the 4 toughest rounds of Floyds career, that designation goes to Castillo or Augustus.

It was a great performance by Cotto but it was a lesson from Floyd and in no way was he in touble at anytime. The victory enhances Floyds legacy and the fact that it was Cotto gives it an added bump but its hardly a defining fight for Floyd simply a victory over another under suited opponent.
