He was weight drained, and i'm guessing you didn't see the Paulie fight. If you did you'd know Paulie's entire strategy was throw one punch and grab. That fight was more like a wrestling match. It's hard to knock a guy out who does nothing but run and grab you. Steve Smoger was reffing that match who i usually really like but he didn't break them up at all. If Cotto wasn't fighting at a difficult weight for himself and Malinaggi wasn't permitted to grab on for dear life Malinaggi never would have finished that fight.

Also first round knockouts generally aren't indicative of anything impressive. It's usually just a sign of weak competition. That's why most a fighter's first round knockouts come early in their career when they are being built up. B4 they face real challenges. I'm sure you knew that already though considering your expertise.Comment

Ricardo Torres speaks on Cotto a bit in this interview..
JCN: Before preparing my questions for this interview, I did a little research about you and I learned that back in the nineties Colombian boxing experts predicted that you would be a world champion, but you were totally unknown until that September night in which you almost defeat Miguel Cotto. What did you learn from that fight?
RT: I did learn a lot of things from that fight. I got experience and I understood that I can’t be in a rush when fighting. I could knock Cotto out, but I didn’t time myself and I become desperate. I learn that I have to be in excellent conditions for every single fight. But it was a combat that opened the international doors.
JCN: When you challenged Cotto, boxing experts thought that the champion was having an easy night, but so far you have been Cotto´s toughest opponent. I’m not trying to imply anything here, but not even great Mosley shook him as you did. Any thought or comment on this?
R.T: It’s true that I was very close to defeat him. He felt my fists, the power of Mochuelo, but I was hungry, desperate, and that was my mistake. I rushed when I had to finish him off and I ran out of gas. I hope to see him again, maybe in the 147 pounds and I think it will be a different story.
JCN: You lost that fight, but soon you got a second chance and you took advantage of it by defeating Mike Arnaoutis. People were expecting the Mochuelo they saw against Cotto, but you kinda disappointed them. What do you remember of that fight?
RT: I remember that I trained very hard, but I didn’t look as impressive as I wanted. I apologized in the press conference because it wasn’t my best presentation, but what matters is that I won and now I am the champion.Comment

Now i'm pretty confident you didn't see the fight, or your in denial. Hatton grabs, but he works when he grabs. Cotto left the fight with Malinaggi without a scratch on his face. It wasn't out of exhaustion, it wasn't in an attempt to work inside, it was his only chance at survival. He admits this in so many words in his Magic Man documentary.Comment
