It's not that Cotto is shot...it's the weight...

I don't think he has the power to hurt a legit jmw...he has respectable power at that weight, but I think Cotto can still make 147 without a problem. His power was good from 140-147, but it doesn't seem to have affect at 154. Cotto is not explosive with his power, but his heavy hands is what breaks his opponents down. He seems to not be able to do that really at 154. His body shots took out an INJURED Yuri Foreman who couldn't move much and was stopped lastnight...Cotto could rematch Margarito and then end his career. I think Margs will beat him again and will look dominant if it is at the full 154 pounds...if not cotto should just go to 147 and help bring the WW division back to life...he has a tendancy to get cut easily though that don't mean he's shot...

He has the power to EARN their respect but at 147 Cotto could make a big come back especially after fighting taller bigger guys...he can fight senchenko, zaveck, Mike Jones, Berto, Ortiz, Mosley again, Mathew Hatton, and Koltelnik... list goes on...he could be an elite again...I like cotto at 147... He has the power to EARN KO victories on his record. Why the hell would he waste time fighting Senchenko, Zaveck, and 140-lbers? Matthew Hatton... really? That one's being warmed up for Berto :lol1: I'd say this thread has been a colossal failure on your part and it's best to let it die and just move on.

I agree he should ether bulk a little more up at 154 or go back down to 147. But Mayorga weighed so much last night. Odds are that he was a LHW when he walked into the ring. If Ortiz can beat Berto. Big If. I would kill to see Cotto-Ortiz at 147. well He is with Gbp so that won't happen If Ortiz beats berto, expect a berto like reign or another title shot for canelo to make him a 2 division champ

The man has 2 KO victories in his first 2 fights in the division. But he doesn't have the power to hurt guys at 154? So I imagined him hitting a much bigger Mayorga so hard with a left hook that he took a knee and then begged the ref to save him? exactly, these dudes are retards, mayorga was in the 170's for fukks sake and cotto ko'd him. its not that cotto doesn't have power at 154, its the weight advantage most guys are gonna have against him at that weight.

But you're not questioning quality but power and ability to hurt guys right, unless I read your original post wrong? Fact is, he clearly has the power to hurt guys at the weight and it wasn't just the KOs either. Foreman was getting rocked by Cotto jabs, same with Ricardo he was clearly hurt by Cotto's punches throughout the night, not just the last hook and jab that forced him to quit on his feet.

You serious? The first guy tore his ACL and the second guy pretended to break his hand to quit the fight. The first guy was getting rocked by Cotto jabs. The second guy got his head knocked off so badly he faked an injury: But yeah, no power whatsoever. Stop it.

A pillow punching Foreman that was INJURED and a smoker, wreckless, out of his prime mayorga that DLH took out after a two year lay off 4 years ago are not good victories...

Nobody said they were good victories you clown They're saying he's stopped two LMW's in both fights, clearly displaying power of some sort Maybe the power of mental suggestion?

I agree with the weight but I also think going downhill. I think 154 is the wrong weight for him. His body looked soft and out of shape. He should think about going down in weight were he looked much better.
