    Maybe some of those idiots at The Ring are trying to discredit Pacquiao's win before it happens, by claiming Cotto is shot.

    That's a low tactic...

        With blood constantly getting in your eye or making you blink every second, trust me, he fought with ONE eye. Judah never had a cut as badly as Cotto and "continued on to win".

          How is pulling out a tough fight against one of the 2-3 best fighters in boxing's best weight class indication of slip? Jesus, the world overreacts.

            The Ring is owned by De La Hoya, he is trying to throw some mud over Pacquiao if he somehow manages to defeat Cotto. Its great to control the media baby. Personally I don't think that he is past it, if that was the case he would not be able to hang around with Clottey with just one eye. However, Margarito's cheating might have made him a more cautious fighter, he doesn't follow the combos up like he used to.

                It's hard for Cotto fans to admit that their idol is past his prime. Cotto started losing his superiority in the welterweight division since his devastating lost to Margarito and then with his controversial win over Clottey. He's going to get worst after Pacquiao's KTFO in the 5th or 6th round.

                    No way Cotto is past his prime. I mean WTF? He might not be the intimidating force he used to be (What I mean is the he can't intimidate his opponents like he used too. You can't after losing), but Cotto still has the skills and he can go tru hard times and come away winning all the time.
