    This is kind of true, but you can't blame him. Getting into trades with big punchers in every fight is the last thing anyone would want. Cotto has been fighting people who have potential to be world champions. Either way, Cotto should have a big fight by this year. I hope it happens!

      Cotto was getting peppered with jabs alot in his short fight with Quintana, he even got wobbled a couple of times. I actually gave every round to Quintana until he got stopped by that big body punch.

              wobbled? wtf...

              He was never hurt at all. He got hit with a straight left to the body and thats about the hardest punch I remember. I had it even, but the difference between how Quintana looked before round 5 and after is incredible. He looked dead.

                Are his handlers more weary of his weakness than is usual of a fighter on the rise?
                true
                but think of it like this
                before he was proven he had the brawn to be an elite
                he proved
                corley marked the shift in his opposition
                to boxers
                guys that made him think
                guys that werent just gonna test him physically but also mentally
