Mostly I'm just surprised he wouldn't give an interview, regardless of how he feels about the fight, he has absolutly nothing to be ashamed of. Aside from the Margo 1 fight, (thanks Kev) he's always given interviews. I also scored the fight just a little bit closer than the judges, but i knew he wouldn't beat Floyd.
He should be proud of himself. I'm dam proud of him! He made Floyd fight for his money. He did better against the defensive wizard than most have.
Its pretty clear after last night that Cotto's skills just aren't what they used to be. While brave and determined, he was no match for Floyd Mayweather. Ten years ago, things might have been different. But, age affects all fighters differently. Cotto will make a wonderfully entertaining journeyman and ambassador for the sport.
And kudos to team Mayweather for having the sense to wait until Cotto's skills were in decline to fight him. This is standard operating procedure for Mayweather and it was a smart move for the money. Now waiting for Mannie to get old is another story since Floyd's age is the factor between them. I suspect Floyd will continue to dodge Mannie in the same way he dodged Kostya Tszyu. In short the fight between Mannie and Floyd will never happen.
In decline? You think Mayweather is superhuman at the age of 35? :-)
