Do you respect Floyd more for fighting Cotto at his natural weight?

    I respect Floyd for making sure this fight was on equal playing fields, he didn't use his star-power to manipulate Miguel Cotto.

    I think with his losses to Manny Pacqauio and Antonio Margarito he's (Miguel Cotto)become some what of a sympathetic figure because some fans feel like he wasn't beaten on equal terms.

    You have the Manny Pacqauio fight where he was at a catch-weight and then there's that cloud of reasonable suspicion looming over the Antonio Margarito fight.

    I commend Floyd for fighting him on an even playing field and giving the fans a great fight.

    No!

    I would have respected Floyd more if Cotto went down and he fought him at 147 pounds for the first time in 35 months.
