Wut u got?

Huge heart? A fighter with a huge heart never takes the easy way out by taking a knee if under constant pounding from an opponent.

However, everything else is on the dot.

I don't agree with chinny at all, but I do hate the way he gets when he can't hurt his opponent.

You get hit in the face by bricks for 11 rounds and see how long you last.

He's been rocked numerous times man. It's no secret, though he has fast recoupe so it's usually not a factor. In this situation, he's going against a fast puncher so I figure it should be listed.

you talking about his fight with a cheater? for him to even last that long was amazing enough. and in the clottey fight he actually fought with only 1 good eye, and he still managed to beat him.

Almost every fighter has been rocked. That doesn't mean they are chinny. **** Cotto has never been KO'd. Pac must be chinny as hell then since his face has hit the Canvas!!!

I don't like the "Chinny" comment. His chin wasn't too good at JWW, but that was due to having to cut a lot of weight. He was hurt by Margarito but that's iffy. He took some big shots from Mosley and Clottey and didn't seem too phased or hurt by them, so I'd say his chin is pretty good.

A big problem: TOO MUCH PRIDE!! He won't ever clinch unless he will fall down if he doesn't. How did Mosley beat Margarito? He clinched him everytime Margarito got some momentum going! Cotto refuses to do that. I'm not saying he should clinch like a ***** all the time, but he should definitely think about using it once in a while to break up an attack or momentum.

His stamina can fade, but thats a maybe I'd say. He definitely cuts very easily, Almost in every fight, especially after taking that headbutt from Urkal a few years back. And he will stay on the ropes if a fighter presses him too much. I think Pac will try to pressure him but I'm not sure how well it will work since Cotto will be significantly bigger, I think.

The Pluses you have mentioned are really good I think. He also can switch comfortably from Orthodox to Southpaw, and he has power in both his right hand and his left hook.

I find it hard to believe that people really don't like him... He has his flaws, yea, but he's great to watch and has a great attitude.

You're telling me that it's been proven that Maragrito cheated during the fight? The last time I checked Margarito will get his license back pretty soon.
