    OK, fair enough!
    :thumbsup

    I believe I had it 117-111, and I had given Cotto a round early that was probably at best, a toss-up.

    I just remember, both then and now, that many people seemed to think Cotto did far better than he did. Your "as far as Mayweather opponents" qualifier has me agreeing with your main point, but I didn't think it was a great fight and I thought Cotto's efforts were (and still are) largely inflated by many.

    Cotto got in range a lot of times but most times he just didn't throw enough especially when he had on the ropes as he would just throw a jab and go backwards too often, when he let his lands go he had success. I gave him 4 rounds.

    Yup. He was beat early in his career, and he will be beat again late in his career.

    Floyd doesn't like to acknowledge that fight much. He knows he got his ass kicked.

    Cotto may have dealt the most punishment, which is pretty crazy. However, Floyd clearly beat him. JLC was by far his toughest fight.

    I've seen that fight 20 times.
    I have to say

    you're the dumbest ngiga in the world right now for saying that.

    Floyd won that fight by 2 rounds at best.

    Floyd won the first 6 rounds. Easily.

    At best it was a draw. People make it seem like he lost 11-1.
