I loved how floyd had ortiz on the backfoot most of the fight yet usually ortiz is very agressive and steamrolls people

Floyd is an amazing fighter, best I have seen in my lifetime. Don't like the person but the fighter is to be respected.

I totally disagree with the last part of the opening post. The Floyd/Cotto fight was every bit as close as Trout/Cotto. In fact i'll even say that at the end of the 8th round I thought Cotto had established full momentum against Floyd......But then he did what Cotto does best, got tired & stopped fighting. Almost identical to the Trout/Cotto fight imo.
Floyd took over sweeping the championship rounds, as did Trout. Both fights were closer than the commentators or the judges claimed. I find it astonishing that people see them so differently. I tend to believe it's simply because Cotto was such a heavy favorite over Trout & people still won't face the reality of Floyd slowing down so they imagine beatdowns that never occurred.

Both were clear decision wins though. Floyd took the first 4 rounds clearly. The 5th was closer, given Cotto had Floyd on the ropes a lot of the time, but Floyd definitely landed the better punches and out fought him on the ropes, in my opinion. The 6th round was a clear Cotto round, where as I felt Floyd took the 7th, but it was competitive. The 8th was Cotto's. And the 9th was competitive, probably favored Cotto in it. Floyd swept the last 3.

Mayweather-Mosley....I didn't care what ANYBODY was saying, I felt in my heart that Shane was gonna knock him out...most of my everyday homies are Floyd fans and by me rocking with Shane had me in some heated arguments lol..serious ones!!!
point I'm getting at....round 2, I damn near popped a vocal cord ...afterwards I was quiet all night....with all the trash talking being thrown in my ears by my dudes, it couldn't stop my eyes from appreciating the WAY Floyd was boxing that night...I remember thinking to myself "this mother****er can fight, he's ALOT better and tougher than I thought"
Floyd is a special fighter...hate him or love him...it is what it is
