I have noticed Cotto make a lot of statements as of late regarding his wishes to join the Manny Manhunt. What has me concerned is whether or not he is keeping focus on Clottey. It feels to me like he is looking past Clottey. This scares me a bit because Clottey is going to be ready and willing to make a huge statement and Cotto will need to bring his a game to beat him.
Looking past Clottey could be a huge mistake. What are your thoughts?Comment

Look at how beaten Cotto was at the end of that fight he looked like a lost puppy dog ,once you get knocked out like that ,you are never quite the same as a fighter,Cotto is still good but he is not on the elite level anymore,Mosley Mayweather would both beat him soundly in fact i think Clottey will beat him.
Fighters Like Hearns, Holyfield, Darchinyan..I could go on and on, can not only come back after a devastating loss, but come back better.
It all depends on the mindset. Cotto truly believes he was cheated against, so that fight will have no psychological bearing with him at all. The physical beatings heal, it is the phychological ones that some fighters cannot get past.Comment

His reflexes were gone. Age and abuse he did to himself brought Roy down. Roy was always a pure reflex and speed orientated fighter. Once that went, his big edge he once had over everyone was gone. He was suddenly very human and did not have the normal boxing fundamentals that he never needed to learn before.Comment
