    Floyd shouldn't even have fought Cotto. What was that supposed to prove?:yep

    Obviously if you are struggling in a weight class and then move up to a weight class that you feel more comfortable in you will perform better... I honestly dont see the argument here, whoever says cotto hasnt improved by moving up to 154 at this stage in his career is blind, Im not saying that 154 cotto is better then 147 cotto but at this point in his career 154 has given him new air, add to that the work he has been doing with Pedro Diaz and you got yourself one hell of a fighter

    FUN FACT: If Floyd never fought Cotto in real life, he would have knocked him out in 3 rounds instead of struggling to a decision.

    Can't argue with that.

    Fights in real life are usually different from fights on paper/fantasies.

    I think that Diaz is 10 times the trainer Evangelista ever was and that plays a big part.

    No. IF that happens, it means he was simply misjudged. You cannot become UNSHOT. No one has ever done that.

    I wish Morales would sign a fight with Floyd, so he could become unshot and return to his prime years like it happened with Cotto

    Boxing would benefit a lot from having a prime Morales around.

    If he's fighting Floyd, yes. Everyone knows that Floyd opponents magically transform into the best of the best for that one night, and one night only. Never to hit the same peaks again.

    to give you a hint, ortiz was a young, hungry, lion before floyd fought him.

    floyd fans magically hypes his opponents to make it the best version ever of that fighter.

    or maybe those fighters just happen to be coming off their best performances :roll:

    Plus nobody thought beforehand that this was the best Cotto coming into the fight with Floyd. But Floyd tried to even the playing field as much as he could by even going up to 154.
