    Mosley and De La hoya were well past their expiry dates. Ortiz, Hatton, Judah, not great fighters.
    Cotto is a great fighter that's just coming off his prime and look what he just did to Floyd.

    Moral of the story is Floyd wouldn't have that 0 if he fought the greats that he fought when they were prime.

    Cotto was turning the tide in that fight and looked to be taking over at around the 8th round, but he gassed.

    Awesome seeing Floyd getting fuked up and nervous.

    Yet DLH won more rounds against Floyd than did Cotto.

    Floyd gets all the credit for winning this fight AT Cotto's weight.

    Lmao. Floyd fought Cotto's fight and beat him at it. It wasn't even close. 9 rounds to 3. 4 to be nice to Cotto. Cotto busted his nose with that great jab but Floyd 's defense was on point tonight. Cotto lost the first 5 rounds on my card. Won the next 3 and lost the rest. :hi:

    Floyd tagged cotto all night and damn near knocked him out in the 12th. Cotto landed good shots, and it was a good fight, why hate mu****as?

    IT's a shame that most athletes don't get their props until they're long gone. FLoyd is an ATG. Enjoy him while you can because he can't fight forever.

    Each round was close, but Floyd edges it round by round. It was a close fight that looked wide because of the scoring system.

    Floyd is now still in his prime ?

    At 35 years age and relatively inactive and he is still in his prime ?

    WW isn't even his best weight. below it was. He has shown decline from an athletic stand-point over the years.

    Fights are going to look tougher at this stage anyway. And he still controlled most of the fight.

    He should refuse 10 oz gloves for now on. They should be banned in boxing. Even for HWs.
