      Will you say that he's old now and needs to hang it up? Will you say that it was just a tough style matchup for him like JMM for Pac? Will you say that he was always overrated and this proved it?

      Will you just give Cotto his due and says it was more of good Cotto or good Diaz than it was bad Floyd? Will you say that Pac & Sergio would destroy him? Will you give Floyd credit for finding a win to grind out a tough hard fought victory against a good vetran fighter or will you think he's a joke or needs to hang em up because he will soon by Roy Jonesed

        I don't even know how to answer that anymore. Some people seem to have no idea what a dominating win is nowadays.

          I'd give Cotto his props cause I see Floyd getting a late round tko. I don't think Cotto is shot or past it but he definitely isn't prime, i'd say 85% of what he used to be. I just have never seen anything in Cotto that would suggest he can beat Mayweather. I could be wrong though but just the way I see it.

            If it's that close then a rematch might be in store. It also means that the fight probably had a lot of interesting moments because Cotto won't outbox him. That would mean Cotto landed some real good shots.

              I will say: Man, that was a competitive fight and will be very satisfied.

              In the back of my mind I would be comparing their fight to Cotto-Pacquiao thinking how Pac would wipe the floor with Floyd. Lol.

                  Can't think like that. Each fight is different and needs to be treated as that. Floyd is also older and Cotto is at a better weight with a ton of confidence. I don't think there's any way Floyd is gonna be as impressive as Manny. In my book, a win is a win and that's all that matters.

                    I'd say hell yeah.

                    Floyd close win, Manny murks Bradley, manny looks more credible, pressure mounts on floyd to fight manny while he's in da bing, floyd leaves da bing and needs a fight.

                      This sprained wrist story is picking up steam it seems. Could be Mayweather team throwing Cotto off? Or is it legit??
