Even the most hardcore fan must acknowledge Cotto is taking too much damage vs virtually every opponent he's faced. He's 27 now, how would he be if he was Sugar Shane's age? This was one of the most important factors in the fight, taking nothing away from Cotto.. The other most relevant fact to me was Cotto's number was finally discovered and countered. Did you notice how Shane was holding everytime Cotto tried to go to the body or tried to fight inside? That not only prevented the trademark body demolishion job by Cotto but ended up tiring him more than it did Shane. Turned out Cotto knows how to box too (surprising to me) and Shane didn't have the power he used to (had nothing to do with the 10 once gloves as the hype made you believe - surprise to me too).
Cong**** to Cotto but had this fight taken place 6 years ago, Cotto wouldn't have won imo. What you think?

Good point, I said the same after the Paulie fight, he needs to work on his clinching a bit more. About how the fight would've gone 6 yrs ago, you can never tell, maybe Shane wouldn't have clinched so much.

No i doubt Cotto will be fighting at 36, so Enjoy him while u can and surely after that even the haters must respect!?

Cotto will be suffering from parkinsons when he's 36.
His style is made for brain damage.
