YOU DONT GET SHOT BY GETTING BEAT UP ONE NIGHT. You get shot by pushing yourself to the limit and having too many gym wars. Getting beat up by Margarito once and Pacquiao does not make a fighter shot. I would see if Cotto was a high energy fighter, like Morales, or Arturo Gatti, but he's not.... the dude is not shot, stop trying to look for something that isn't there.
YOU DONT GET SHOT BY GETTING BEAT UP ONE NIGHT
he wasn't beaten up twice not just once. and those loses were terible.
he has many wars also.
cotto's a great fighter and has shown us a lot of heart, and i'm 85-15 that margo used plaster against him..
(he was beaten up by 2 cheaters!!hahahaha. just kidding)
cotto's lost a lot in him, and look at his style now, that's what he has evolved--due to the beatings--
it's just not the same him anymore. shot is not the right term, yet. but it really looks like he's going that way.
COTTO's a warrior, no one can take it away from him.
guys are quick to throw cotto at the wolfs cause thats his mo, take on the best. But what about the rest of the elite fighters like mayweather, berto, guys who dont take on the best in there division back to back. picture mayweather in there with martinez, pacman,mosley,margarito,paul williams, cotto etc.... back to back he wont be the same either. why is it that cotto is the only one that has to fight the best. until pac came along now he doing it. pac and cotto are the only elite fighters who fight the best in there division even if there not ppv sellers. oh and paul takes everybody to but he has to his name aint as big as cotto,pac and mayweather. there are too mant cherry pickers out there. cotto and pac doesn't always have to fight the top 5 and mayweather, berto etc... need to step it up too.
cotto just cantdeal with presure fighters with power and killer instincts.....put him in there with floyd or sergio and he shines like a coin!....
If Cotto could get enough gifts to somehow actually get to the fight for once we'd see. Sergio completely rapes Cotto in a Roy Jones/Margarito style that would outright retire Cotto, Imagine Cotto face when Sergio blasts him like he did Pavlik and unlike Foreman Martinez can punch very hard very fast very accurate while applying elusive pressure, worst fight for Cotto on the planet is Sergio.
Cotto is not shot but he is not the same fighter he once was. He has been threw wars even in the fights he's won but he still has enough in his tank to beat some of the top fighters like berto, angulo...etc. plus cotto has proven him self unlike berto, angulo etc.... and remember you guys are comparing him with guys at the 154 division insread of 147 that alone says alot.
Illuminato........tossing Cotto's salad on bscene since May 2009.......
:rofl:
LOL you got 3 pictures of the same man half naked and you saying I'm on a fighters nuts....LOL
just look at the guys last 6 fights and you would see he was on the down side of his career I'm sorry but beating Foreman don't prove shit the next top boxer he fights would expose that ass
Yea beating Foreman= nothing. Who the hell is foreman? No one knew anything before he beat up an old ass Santos. Im not saying Cotto is shot, but he just did not look as good as expectations predicted him to be. Could be a result of tought recent beatings.

If you think Cotto is the same as he was pre-Margartio you need to get your head checked.
Plus his body is shop worn.. I guarantee the scar tissues around his brows are just waiting to be cut open.
He is not shot period. But I'm also sure you would agree with the above - he is not currently as good as he was pre Margo
that is the logic going on here for a long time, everybody is shot.. includes Pacman as well. Well that's if you read a lot of thread here, you'll get the point.
or when some one is "past their prime" and haven't even been tested or been in tough fight

ahhhhhhh i see the method to ur madness aight i c what your saying.
Cotto has been shot for the longest time... even Calderon beat him back then. So TS stop whining. Cotto is a shot fighter before he even turned pro.
NSB-101...
yup basically so everybody he's beatin must suck. smh thanks for ur shitty input on the topic
No shot fighter would ever look good dominating a guy like foreman. Sure foreman is not an elite fighter. But he is a tough guy to look good against and cotto did. I would still take cotto over any WW not named manny and floyd.
ahh cotto is my boy is he shot no. But is he the same fighter nope. Is he elite i believe so but not to the level of eliteness I think he could of been.

Cotto just couldn't beat the very best, whenever he goes in with someone "good" he still beats them. He looked slow as mud against clottey and still beat him. He was quick against Pac but lost. simple stuff. When he trains hard he wins.
He looked great against Foreman only Foreman was much bigger and kept backing up. Cotto is to small for a MW.
The Margarito fight...could have been plaster..could have been a bad style matchup. Who knows.
brain damage=shot dont you think???
Getting beat upside the head by plaster my cause brain damage..what you think??
No Miguel doesn't have brain damage. Does Erik Morales have the same brain damage Meldrick Taylor had then?
You can get shot by getting beat down one night......chavez-taylor
Cotto has been in many wars, what are you talking about?
He's been in wars but you're not understanding. He's not a high energy, give it your all type of fighter (even though he does give it all)..... Cotto wins with his power, and his timing, not by fighting like a Calzaghe or Erik Morales
