    I wanna jump in this little debate and clarify some things..

    First of all, Cotto never took floyd to the " brink ".. haha c'mon seriously. That's such an exaggeration..

    The thing is, Floyd fought down to Cotto's level and his style and pretty much fought in the pocket througout the fight yet Cotto still couldnt damage him..

    Just as Floyd did against Mosley, he fought Cotto's fight and still kicked ass!! That's what's so great about floyd.. He fought out of his comfort zone and he still toyed with cotto..

    The only fighter who took Floyd to the edge was none other than Castillo..

    What Cotto did was nowhere near what Castillo did and that was against a young Floyd..

    I have Puerto Rican buddies who always claim that nonsense and i always laugh hard..

    Floyd was never in any type of danger when he fought Cotto..In fact he was so comfortable, dude didnt view Cotto as any kind of threat that he decided to sit in the pockets which was so unlike him...

    Cotto didn't do nothing... OScar Delahoya was more effective against Floyd than Cotto ever was..

    Claiming Floyd fought "down to Cotto's level" is 10 times the exaggeration you claim the word "brink" is. Don't let your disdain of Cotto color your judgement. Most people who saw the fight know Cotto gave his toughest test in many years. Floyd fans and/or Cotto haters expected Floyd to just walk through Cotto. It didn't happen that way. Personally, I readily admitted to Cotto's defeat as the fight was concluding. I don't let bias color my judgement. And this "sitting in the pocket" analogy is just ridiculous. Been watching too much football (or listening to Teddy Atlas).

    He totally fought down to Cotto's level to try to make a more exciting fight (like he mentioned). I love Cotto, but he's not (and never was) near Floyd's level.

    I hope you, Finito, and VD don't mind... if I'd rather hear it from the main source.

    This fought down to Cotto's level is laughable

    I don't know many people that go to work & decide to have a tough day by choice...

    I guess Floyd let himself get bruised and bloodied on purpose, just to give the crowd a good show.
    What a guy.

    I said the outcome of the fight was never in doubt. I never said Mayweather fought down to Cotto's level. Those are two different things, stupid.

    I had the fight 117-111 Mayweather. What you score it?

    I thought De la Hoya was very competitive in the Mayweather fight and took him to "the brink" in the SD win for May. But then again I might be BIAS.

    Trout's southpaw style will give Alvarez nightmares! He ain't never fought a significant southpaw.

    I also feel Trout is very good at creating distance, couple that with his jab & I see him frustrating Canelo & disrupting his combos

    I feel Saul will be too strong for Trout and walk through him. Canelo will win on points at least.

    Fair enough that's opinion

    But are the Canelo fans worried that he has never been tested against a decent southpaw?

    Cause Trout is all kinds of difficult...

    I have been converted and have slowly been impressed with Saul. GBP want him to be the next big thing in boxing and so they have to step him up against better competition. If Saul wants to become a PPV star he has to fight the best out there to prove it. This is the right time and he stands to become the first man to beat Floyd if he beats Trout convincingly.

    I have also noted Canelo's gradual improvement

    But again the only lefty I can think of him fighting was Rhodes

    Trout is faced with a younger version of Cotto.
