    The only thing I had beef with Floyd about in the Cotto fight was when he had Cotto hurt bad in the 12th, but he opted to not finish him. Had he stepped on the gas and just threw combination after combination when Cotto was hurt, he probably could have forced a ref stoppage.

    It was the same in the Mosley fight, had Floyd pressed the issue a bit more the last couple rounds, he probably could have forced a ref or corner stoppage.
    Just aint his style man

      Cotto trained his heart out and won 3 rounds maximum.

          Floyd took the first 5 rounds. Rounds 1-4 were clear Floyd rounds, while the 5th was close with Cotto being more effective by trapping Floyd on the ropes, Floyd still out fought Cotto and landed by far the more significant punches.

          Cotto took round 6, clearly. Round 7, Cotto seemed like he took this round off, and Floyd clearly won this round. Cotto than took round 8, clearly.

          The 9th round was the closest round of the fight, could have gone either way. Cotto had his moments, Floyd had his. It depends on what you personally favor.

          Floyd than took the last 3 rounds, the 12th being a huge Floyd round where he had Cotto badly hurt.

          Initally I scored it 118-110 Floyd, giving Cotto rounds 6 and 8. Rewatching it, I had 117-111 Floyd, giving Cotto rounds 6-8-9.

            Floyd gave cotto all the advantages going into the fight, the weight, the gloves and he fought cottos fight standing his ground rather than moving a lot. He didnt have to give those up but he did for the fans. There will always be those that still hate him but thats what makes him money and why he sells more than anyone else today, because the people that like him AND hate him are both buying the PPV.

                Getting hit by jabs is a small consolation when the other guy is still for the most part hitting you less, but more importantly you are landing more power shots.

                  So I guess we should show everything Cotto landed of significance, and just not show any of the other 35 minutes of the fight.

                      that video must've been a joke, cause although Floyd won comfortably, you can definitely make Cotto highlights better than that.
