Vargas abused his body just like Ricky Hatton.
Cottos current weakness is a mental thing.
Maybe he can get past it.
It's not just that.
Vargas also had that problem with his back vertebre.
Either way they both were past it after a bad beating it just happned Vargas was 23 and Cotto 27.
After he took the beating by Margarito, he has not been the same. He is a shot fighter at a very young age.
Cotto is equal to a 300 lbs Vargas? I don't think Cotto is shot just yet, he's just always had the same flaws and people have picked up on them. Hopefully his technique will improve otherwise he will be shot very soon.
He's been through some wars, yes, but I don't think he's finished. Tonight should prove how much he has left. If he's still near his peak, he should stop Yuri.
I don't think Cotto is shot but if he is, is really nothing like Vargas because Vargas was done as an elite fighter at 24 or something like that and Cotto is going to be 30 soon.
I dont know about cotto, but Vargas had trouble keeping and dropping weight, plus tons of outside distractions. Cotto took his time climbing the ranks.
