i'd argue that shane looked to hurt him more, and was a bigger puncher. that said, corley hit him with an odd shot, and it hurt him.
corley has hurt quite a few guys. he rocked cotto back in the day, too. bothered marcos maidana, iirc. underrated puncher. strange, strange fighter.
Definitely arguable I won't disagree there. That shot Shane landed was huge. Floyd seemed to recover quite quickly as opposed to Corley he seemed not fully recovered for abit when he was standing toe to toe.
I actually really like Corley. He's a decent fighter, good boxer. His fight with Zab as boring as it was could have gone either way, he hurt Floyd, Cotto like you said. I actually felt he beat Maidana aswell.
Was great to see him come to the UK as an underdog and stop Paul Mcloskey in his hometown. I still can't believe that Eddie Hearn invested time and money trying to push that guy.
It's actually really hard to judge if Floyd was hurt or not. Had it been another corner so we could see him walk back, and we would have had the answer.
