    Yes because no fighter has never been badly hurt and chose to fight back, you know ala Floyd against Shane Mosley.

    Did you see your boys face in the post fight interview. How'd you feel?

    :rofl

    No fighter has been close to getting knocked out, then recovered in 2 seconds. I'm confident of that.

    Haven't seen it. From what I hear I'm confident he'll take the loss to reinvigorate himself.

    Really? I'm pretty sure there were cases of people losing consciousness or being dazed for a split second then recovering?

    You should see it, he looked like Floyd had Margoplaster in his gloves.

    Doesn't seem too professional to award ONE round to a sitting champ in a very close fight!!!

    If Floyd-Mosley with Floyd getting stunned happened in round 2 instead of round 12 do you think Floyd fans would be talking about how he almost got knocked out. Never could something be so overstated. Cotto was hurt, but no where near close to going.

    cotto was mad and thought he was given any credit by he judges do the large margins on the cards so he left.. he didnt disagree with the loss but thought it was a lot closer

    :hat

    Anyone true boxing fan who watched the fight would know it was not as close as most people make out. 10-2 in favour of floyd is about right! Cotto missed and got tagged all night. Cottos work ethic and determination made it look a lot closer

    Cotto was experiencing some things that had him worried (bit of pain in his head and some urination of blood), also he was a bit blinded by the crowd.

    He went straight to hospital after the fight. so he was probably in some sort of pain. Also didn't hs team say he needed to go to the toilet?

    A cotto that isn't bursting for a **** scores a late KO over floyd.

    Imagine getting his in the bladder!!!
