The IPAD stuff to me was the most telling part of the entire deal, Floyd didn't care about the OSU game or the 100k. He was trying to subtly disrespect Cotto and see if he could get him rattled, and more importantly guage how Cotto would react. Cotto didn't give a ****, and even talked with him about it etc. Cotto mentally is in a really good place right now and I think he has as good a chance as anyone has had against Floyd in a long time. The way Cotto handled everything, showed a lot of security and confidence, I think Floyd saw that too and why he was overly respectful. I think he took the high road and backed off, until he could figure another way to try and get a mental edge, but I don't think he'll be able to against Cotto. Which may actually get in Floyd's head...we'll see I guess. Props to Cotto he won the "event" here, IMO.

PBF knows that Cotto is a weak opponent and is trying to talk him up so people will buy the fight. He tried the same with Ortiz - remember how young and hungry he was?

First off, as former Top Rank fighters, they have a great deal of respect for each other. Which is the reason for the somewhat unusual respectful face off from Floyd.

Keep in mind though, that Floyd is just as much as a psychological fighter as a physical one,IMO, even more. So him saying he thinks Miguel is an undefeated fighter, (which could be how he really feels), is given Miguel Cotto confidence that he has the capablities of beating Floyd.

Next point is the reference to Cottos watch ... Floyd again is making Cotto feel good about himself, because as a master student of the game, Floyd knows that the one thing that the Margarito/Pac lost did too him was it somewhat stripped his confidence (though I think it has been fully restored) ...So for the best fighter in the sport to say these things about him, will do a lot for the psyche of Cotto, which will bring out the best Cotto

Next point is the checking his bets on the tablet .. Max had just asked Cotto his thoughts on Floyd knocking out Ortiz .... Cotto gave a real respectful answer, but I think Floyd in a way wishes that Miguel would have said he didnt respect what Floyd did (I just think Floyd is slightly off), so he checked the score on the tablet to kind of in a way change the subject and be passively disrespectful becuase MC had an opportunity to make the faceoff more interesting

Floyd knows MC has the capability to be a threat but he knows that Cotto's biggest attribute is having confidence in himself. Its almost as if Floyd sess more in him than what Miguel sees in himself (not saying Cotto isnt confident, becuase he definitely is)

I believe Floyd is going to knock Cotto out at 154 .... If you notice in his last 2 fghts, he has been really aggressive and I think he will be looking to knockout his remaining opponents.

The psycholoical warfare that is going on between these two is interesting if you read both fighters body language. Floyd is giving MC tons of respect, making Cootos confidence skyrocket that much more, which is playing into Floyds gameplan.

i actually think the opposite of what ur saying. floyd was clearly nervous and very respectful of cotto. sure he paid him compliments...and i partially agree with his view on cotto's losses...but i get the feeling he's trying to disarm or soften cotto with the compliments. not give him more confidence.

I disagree, you never let your opponent know your worried about him. I don't think that Floyd is concerned about Cotto TBH. I just think he respects him as a man as well as a fighter. Floyd is most comfortable in the squared circle, hs lives for it.
