      Cotto did better than expected. Hindsight is 20/20 and something Floyd didn't have when he chose the fight.

        No disrespect to anyone, but Cotto looked like a cancer patient at the weigh in vs Manny.

        It is what it is though, Manny got credit from the media, so thats all what counts.

          He lost 8-4 or 9-3. SO because he didn't get shutout and bloodied floyd's nose during the fight that means he did better than expected? The bar would have to be set incredibly low for cotto to do better than expected. the man was a champion at the time and is a boderline HOF'er.

            He looked like a **** victim after the fight against Pacquaio.

            And Floyd fought him 3 years later.

              I had it 10-2. I thought he'd get stopped.

                I've never liked OST as its flawed if its not year round and I have never had a problem with CW's, I dont even mind this one...the only thing wrong with it is that floyd is a reigning 154 champion and is asking another reigning 154 champion to fight at a lower weight. Its an embarrasing gaff, just deal with it.

                  I had it 8-4 for Mayweather. Much closer fight that I expect

                    ok. why would you think floyd would ko cotto when he hs 2 ko's above 147? Cotto did what you'd expect someone of his caliber to do. He fought hard, tried to win. I don't know if he exceeded expectations.

                      Because Cotto was/is a shopworn fighter who'd taken a couple of horrific beatings already and been in numerous wars. His defence isn't great and I thought Floyd would open up on him and eventually force a stoppage.
