I've talked to Mike about this fight and believe me, he was 100% dedicated to getting the win and his training camp was good. He just didn't have it any more.
You think if Cotto will hurt Floyd early, he will also do another of this? Or will Floyd-Cotto be another one of the most embarrassing beat downs..
Calzaghe - Lacy Jones Jr - Lacy Hearns - Duran Toney - Holyfield Mayweather - Gatti (You didn't see Mayweather asking for Olympic style drug testing against Gatti did ya??
Prime Marco Antonio Barrera 47-2 vs Domestic level British Bantamweight Paul Lloyd 19-4 all 4 defeats by stoppage a couple of them against journeyman. Lloyds corner pulled him out after 1 round, Lloyd was brave and got up off the floor but pretty much got annihilated. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzsMngN0wu0[/ame]

Campbell/Peden. This wasn't a beatdown in a sense that one guy took prolonged beating. However, Campbell stuck his chin out to trying to show off and got knocked out. That's pretty embarrassing.
