    How many times did Floyd/Cotto shake hands?

    I almost had a seizure from it. Floyd doesn't look right anymore. He's a completely different guy with Cotto. Floyd is showing too much respect to Cotto.. not saying it's a bad thing but it's out of character for him. Floyd is the type of guy that uses aggression/thug speak to his opponents. Lets hope this "respect" doesn't carry to the ring on May 5 or we might just have an upset in the brewing.

    He had a lot of respect for Ortiz too IMO. He wasn't loud, wasn't like he was with DLH or other fighters. I personally think it's worse for Cotto because Floyd doesn't see him as a threat whatsoever.

    It's like he sees him as some little kid he's just going to beat up.

      By doing that he is helping people understand or believe that Cotto is much better that people make it up to be. So when he wins it will look much better than the Pac win

        He was the same for Ortiz and we all know what happened in the ring.

          I don't think Floyd had any respect for Ortiz at all. Look what he did to him during the weigh-in.. Imagine Floyd trying to choke Cotto..? Not going to happen.

          I'm curious to how 24/7 will turn out..lol

            I thought floyd was 10 times as rude to Cotto as he's been to anyone else. He started looking at his Ipad checking his scores, ignoring Miguel, motioning off camera, basically ignoring him.

            Floyd just wasn't ignorant with his rudeness

              Seems to me he only gets like that with people he has personal vendettas against(Mosley, ODLH) or were big ***t talkers themselves(Hatton)

                Floyd never shut up about Pacquiao and catch-weights and Cotto being an undefeated fighter.

                He's supposed to be promoting Cotto v Mayweather but he's ensuring Pacquiao v Mayweather is overshadowing this bout.

                  He was the same way with JMM... Ive noticed when the other guy doesn't come off threatening then neither does Floyd... Oscar, Hatton came to win, shooting off at the mouth, and Floyd took it to the next level... JMM, Ortiz, Cotto, they're quiet... though Ortiz had a few moments then so did Floyd.

                  With Mosley there was a lot of back history.

                    I don't know where people come up with all these theories, he respects Miguel...it's that simple. Also, it wouldn't be a good look if Floyd went off on Miguel as there isn't much/ or anything to dislike about Cotto. Same reason he showed Marquez a ton of respect.

                    No, he definitely did not respect Ortiz, he condoned himself well though.
