    Similar to the first few rounds of this fight

    The only times I saw Floyd put this much behind his punches in the early rounds was win his opponent was already hurt. Would this fall right into Cotto's hands?

    I'd accuse him of being on steroids.

    I can see it possibly ending early on a bad cut due to all the scar tissue Cotto has, combined with Floyd's sharp, accurate shots. But apart from that, Floyd doesn't really have the power to take Cotto out early, especially at 154.

    Floyd would just win quicker then he was going to anyway, and a lot of people such as myself who bet on a Floyd UD would be a bit pissed off

    This was one of my favorite moments in Floyd's career. His only official knockdown from a punch HE landed. He goes right back to the corner wincing in pain with both his hands injured and first thing he tells his uncle is I'm not gonna quit.
