I think both fighters stock went up. For mine Cotto fought a great fight but was simply out classed though not badly...Floyd got hit more than usual but I feel this shows just how good a fighter Cotto is, as well as Floyd being content to fight from the ropes, even so Floyd wasn't hit nearly enough. Even in losing this is the best Cotto I've seen...outside Floyd & Pac, I don't see anyone else troubling him a great deal.
Floyd wasn't bothered by Cotto's power but by his skill in cutting off the ring although it must be noted that Cotto's best rounds were when he was on his toes going backwards & forcing Floyd into coming forward as the aggressor. Floyd got tagged a bit then but this was only in a couple of rounds.
