  1. IF Cotto had crisper punches it would have been real ugly.

    Floyd: "We gave the fans the fight they want to see. I could've back pedaled. But you spend hard-earned dollars, so I said f---- it."

    I wonder why Floyd has been choosing red for his last few fights. Meh.

    Yep...Manny fought a weight drained Cotto.

    Cotto was strong and healthy at 154.
     
  9. Floyd has a glass body, glass nose.

    No he domanated the fight beating a better version of Cotto than Pacquiao did.
     
  11. COTTO Dominated 3 or 4 rounds like no other fighter ever has vs her.
    DID LOVE HOW he handled post fight interviews. Major props really like the nice Floyd it is inspiring tbh.

    Why did Ali struggle with Foreman's left-overs?


    Also remember: Cotto was at 154 and was using thicker gloves which made it harder for Floyd to penetrate Cotto's defense with his best punches which is the Jab and Straight-right. He had to use looping punches and uppercuts instead.

    Also, how would you compare Cotto's trainers in both of these fights?
