    I just can't see it. I gave him 4 and I don't think it's crazy to give him 5.

      The first 4 rounds were Floyd rounds clear as day. I don't see how anyone could give Cotto any of these rounds, he really did next to nothing significant in terms of landing punches.

      The 5th was competitive but who landed the better punches, Floyd. He out fought Cotto off the ropes in this round.

      The 6th was a clear Cotto round. The 7th it seemed Cotto took it off, Floyd definitely won this round. The 8th was another clear Cotto round for me. The 9th was close, it really depends on who's work you favored.

      The last 3 were all Mayweather.

      118-110 if you gave Floyd the 9th, 117-111 if you didn't. What the judges had was perfect.

      It was a tough fight, he made Floyd work, but it wasn't a close fight. Castillo gave Floyd hell the first fight, arguably won the fight, did win it if you ask me. Cotto gave Floyd a tough fight, didn't come close to winning though.

        Of course you did and of course you don't think that's crazy.

          FloydCorners thinks Floyd won 10 rounds? Imagine my surprise.

            i wouldn't be surprised if floyd gets robbed...i mean you have gbp, ring magazine and sulaiman/wbc sucking on canelo's **** long time...all that **** sucking/hyping up can't go to waste...

            but honestly i only see canelo winning 4 rounds at best...canelo is really going to get exposed for the media hype job he is...

              I think it's clear who GBP have their money on. I don't know the terms of Floyd's contract with showtime but if there's anything in there changing his guarantee if he loses, I think they'd benefit from a Canelo win too.

                Mayweather would still probably get a Split Decision, I don't see judges just taking Mayweather 0, who ever takes it will have to really earn up, it is not going to be easy.

                If your expecting some help from judges to get a win over Mayweather, IN VEGAS? GOOD LUCK, your going to need a lot of it!

                Sure it would be great if a young fighter can take the torch away from Mayweather instead of him retiring with it! But they are going to have to really take it!

                  Cotto won 3 rounds and a 4th round was up in the air. But most fans thought it was closer and didnt realize Floyd dominated until rewatching the fight. Let this fight appear close....Canelo SD winner

                      don't forget that it was also unthinkable that pacquiao would be robbed against bradley until it happened.
