So is Cotto some hybrid Ike Quartey now?

    i never said clottey was hurt. But it was crucial in the fight. Clottey was indeed stunned tho at some points in the fight. Everyone knows that when a fighter smiles its because he felt that ****

          It's good but he doesn't use it enough. He should though use it a lot more when he starts fighting going backwards.

            I watched Cotto "live" from 75 meters at the Garden (2005 & 2007) against Mosely....Cotto's jab was "the" main Mosely deterant!!! Mosley could not get a rythym going, not with that jab in his face. Had Cotto abandoned the Jab I would've had Mosley by Split Decision.

              I see Cotto driving down Vargas lane.
              If he don't look very very impressive with Manny; Things will go from sugar to **** real quick!

                  I hear what you're saying, i feel that way too, but Cotto will have many loyal fans....just won't be regarded in the same class as Trinidad.

                      Of course he will...maybe more if he keeps fighting through the bad times. Loseing aint a bad thing. It takes a real person to get up from a beat down and brush that off and keep going no matter what. Look at Danny Williams, for example this guy just keeps fighting and others like him Emanuel Burton-Augustas etc... win or lose just fight.
