Well, Shane was hurt and put down by Forrest. Forrest is not a ko puncher, he's a strong puncher but he's not a Cotto puncher. What a Cotto puncher means. Somebody that is looking for the ko all the time. Shane has not faced that somebody who is obsessed with putting the hurt on and stopping fighters.
In all fairness, Cotto was badly hurt and put down against Torres also. The knockdown, however, was less legit as it had a push to it, but I am biased obviously.
there's a little something called leverage. That's why Tommy hearns, Paul Williams and Vernon Forrest were all beasts at 147. Cotto is the shorter man and has shorter arms. Doesn't mean he doesn't hit hard just means Shane's not gonna be hit as hard as he was by Forrest or Winky.
