    Cotto was ale to cut the ring off, and put effective pressure on May better than any of floyds recent opponents. The closest to doing what Cotto did was Ortiz that round he got KOd lol
    But still Floyd still won clearly and outskilled, outslicked cotto

      underrated performance considering he was "shot" for pacquiao. 3 years later, he gave floyd a good fckin fight. if anything floyd's performances are overrated.

        I was at that fight and in person it looked like Cotto was pulling it off. I bet a pretty penny on that fight, I money lined Floyd. Cotto was looking good. I was shaking when the scores were being read. I really thought it was going to be a draw, or a SD.

        When I flew back home and watched it again I had Money winning a lot more decisive, but at that moment Cotto was looking like he had it, especially with Floyd bleeding from the nose and Floyd back foot pot shottin. We all know how judges can be mislead with a few salient visuals (nosebleed).

        IMO Cotto gave Money his toughest fight to date. That Castillo job is overrated.

          I agree with what you said. I didn't think the fight was close at all. I thought the judges scored it about right.

            Most agree wide Mayweather UD, but Mayweather was made to earn his check. The scores weren't indicative of the competitiveness of the fight(Relative to the typical Mayweather fight at least).

              This is why most people rate it so high, he wasn't just happy to share the ring with Floyd and collect a fat paycheck.

                  Comparatively speaking to Floyd's other recent opposition Cotto's performance is rated just fine.

                  In terms of actually getting close to winning it is probably over rated

                    There is a reason he ducked him in his prime.

                      Yup, in person and watching it on TV, there's a huge difference.
                      Nonetheless Money won, major props to Cotto!
