The only thing embarrssing was the KO. Hatton wobbled Floyd in round 1, most said in won round 2 and some think he took round 3. The first 6 rounds made it a close fight, after then Floyd came into his own. Paulie took a one sided beating from Cotto.
The beating Pauli took from Cotto was anything but onesided. He got busted up early and broke his jaw but fought on and was winning most of the later rounds.

Considering Malignaggi went down in the second official scores of 115-112 116-111 116-111 show anything but a onesided beating. It actually means on one card Paulie tied Cotto dead level over the other 11 rounds and only lost 6-5 on the other two cards.

Mayweather beat Hatton by scores of 88-82 89-81 89-81 meaing Hatton won 1 round on two cards and two on another.

Now tell me who again who did better
