There are only a few fights Floyd really moved a bunch in, he is generally pretty efficent with his motion. He still moves when that is required but he doesn't take ten steps to get away when he can take 5 set up draw the other guy in and do work. He lays on the ropes a lot so I don't really see it and it wasn't like he was getting pummeled.
I think he was trying to tire Cotto out, making Cotto think about counters, trying to break his will that way and then pushing him back. Cotto kept his cool for the most part though and took advantage of being allowed to fight at his pace. Floyd still found a way to make it work.
It is not like he isn't getting older and no one can avoid that long term but I would say catching up with him is overstating it currently.
