Manny Steward was right..this was the best fight that Floyd fought since Corrales.. He was really tested, and showed grit which is reminiscent of a great fighter..

Cotto is no doubt the no.4 guy in the world and imo in a rematch he could do better against pacquaio, still lose, but alot better, he beats canelo, ortiz, marquez etc. Cotto should give 160 a shot just in a high risk high reward

It was a great fight by two world class fighters! That said, the weight bothered Floyd, A LOT! You could tell in the mid rounds, to my surprise Floyd showed rare fatigue, an was very slow at times(overtrained?), probably from being pinned up against the ropes too often, Floyds still numero uno for now but father time is definitely not too far out now, cotto was able to tag floyd with shots that he would not have a few years ago, an then floyd would drop his handsfloyd has to realize hes 35 now and start managing his camps a little better too I think he peaked weeks ago, it was nice to see Floyd test the water at 54 again but it should be his last fight at the weight, Floyd's no middleweight all in all not great but another very good performance by Floyd i give it a B-

I think HBO over-stated the competitiveness of the fight a little, I always felt Floyd was in control, but overall it was kinda enjoyable, especially as I went into it with little excitement.
Floyd's stance is just ridiculously brilliant. It's just astonishingly effective.

if cotto had won it wouldnt have been a huge shocker
the audience was with him and he DEFINATELY outworked floyd, and pressured him
floyd did win though- it was a very competitive fight overall and floyd had to earn it
for 8 rounds it was golden, and very close
last few rounds floyd went into run mode- and got his win

Wait what?!...I've already seen two people in here say Cotto won the fight??? Are you kidding me? Cotto won no more then 3 rounds at best, 4 rounds is being quite generous, and I'm a fan of neither of them. WTF were you guys smoking?

yep..
i like floyd i respect him for being more offensive but he fights in spurts
and is getting older, for 35 he is still a super talent and a phenom boxer.
but pac will give him hell
