Miguel "The Surgeon" Cotto

Look at that arm^^

It's like Gianluca got hit with a very dense, solid object.

Eww. Lol looks like his elbow is broke. I remember he dislocated Branco's shoulder in that fight. He's a strong mofo.

Thanks, OG. Lots of blunt force trauma to the face, eh?

Indeed. Lots of cuts, bruising and swelling.

Cotto is kinda like a prime hopkins when he dominated 160...Cotto is like that now at welter..

Is Cotto just this so called "freak of nature," or are the laws of physics somehow different when he hits people? Why do his punches create lacerations, severe swelling and bruising on the face, and severe and extreme damage to the body - and yet he rarely drops opponents from the individual punches themselves? Why so many guys taking knees, and looking like they have full blown AIDS after he gets done with them, ect?

...You've heard what I have to say about the pressurized gloves, the clear as day excessive taping, the crushed tops literally bent over and pointing off at an angle because they're wrapped so tight..

I'm not saying it's illegal - who cares, it hasn't been a problem.. But is there an association? Or is this all a coincidence?

Interesting thoughts, definitely a noteworthy observation.

I don't know some people were and still are saying that Tito had illegal wraps that caused him to have these vicious 1 punch knockdowns. Now it's being suggested that Cotto's wraps are causing him to mess up peoples faces. Just look at him, he's a strong, strong mofo. He's never had 1 punch KO power like Tito.

I don't know what you mean by pressurized gloves, but his corner is definitely well educated in the art of skinning his gloves. Not illegal, and I personally do not think skinning does much.

Cotto has dropped many of his opponents from single shots to the head. He hasn't knocked them all clean out with one punch, but that's many fighters.

Torres and Pinto both went down from single counter shots to the head. I believe Sosa went down from a single uppercut in their fight (maybe at the end of a combination though).

Paulie did as well. This is without referencing his early career.
