Whats the point of this thread??? Saying Floyd played down to his opposition is just bull****. The fight didnt go the way Floyd wanted it because of Cotto, NOT because he chose to "make it harder on himself". All this nuthuggery and pedestal shinning **** is just a save face attempt to fend off the deluded *******s. It was a great fight and it was great for boxing period.
People are sleeping on Cotto's good work mixing up his punches and throwing them educated. He did well and if Floyd had problems it was because of Cotto. It's arrogant if he believes he wouldn't have broke a sweat if he jus boxed and this is from a Floyd fan. Cotto still would've pressed the fight and probably have more subjective rds had they boxed. Give Cotto lots of credit.
