      lol a jab knocking someone down is meaningless? he was not off balance, he was a perfect ortho stance when he got caught with the jab that rocked his head back causing him to go down. a jab knockin a fighter like clottey down means alot.

          Your not seriously trying to say that the flash kd due mostly to poor timing on Clottey's part is some indicator of Cotto's power or Clottey's lack of punch resistance are you?

            im sayin cottos power is very strong. Clottey is tough he took the punches but he still felt one were he hit the canvas.

                Had Mayweather finished him back then? I love it how the story changed as soon as Hatton lost.

                Cotto is a beast? Nah, he is human. And if he was a beast he would be able to be tamed. Pacquiao is better than you're giving him credit for. Pound for pound, he is above Cotto. Don't get me wrong, I have a great amount of respect for Miguel. But the only advantage he has over Pacquiao is size. Nothing else.

                BTW, I'm surprised you used that GIF in your sig. Clottey is basically saying "your punches ain't doing ****".
                People can say what they want, but Cotto is a better boxer than Pac. The only thing Pac has on him is his in and out movement. Cotto's jab will give Pac fits. Cotto's also a great counter puncher. I just love the style matchup for Miguel.

                  Cotto is a very heavy handed fighter, and it was a legit kd because a punch landed but something like that could happened to the most iron chinned fighter....

                    That is the biggest advantage but is not the only one. Cottto is better boxer, better counter puncher, has a better jab, better uppercut and can fight is a lot different ways. In other words Cotto is a more complete fighter than Pacquiao.
