    Cotto is not shot, it's more like his weakness has been exposed

    From Teddy Atlas to the boxingscene fan who is screamin' that Cotto is shot!

    He's not. He's not damaged goods either, he happens to be a fighter who has an uphill struggle everytime he starts to feel the heat.

    It's no different than a fighter who has a glass chin, does that mean Amir Khan is shot?

      He got his ass whipped once and has had some tough fights. Nobody shoulda ever considered Cotto shot. No way Pac blitzes him quickly like some seem to think.

        He has limitations like every other fighter. He isn't shot.

            Maybe not shot, but definitely changed. I know what I saw in the Marg and Clottey fights. I saw doubt that wasn't there before. He's changed and I don't think he will ever go back to being the calm, confident destroyer that he used to be.

                Yes,Yes,at 140,but at 147,he's beaten the great Sugar Shane & fought 12 hard rounds against Clottey,9 of which he did with 1 eye!!Now I don't think he beat Clottey,but he finished that fight in good enough shape to earn my respect even more!!U can call me a dreamer,but believe me,Pacman never beats Mosley at 147,ever,Cotto did!!Torres pack a mean punch,if he connects on any chin with a solid shot,10 seconds might not be enough to recuperate!!

                  Well what I was trying to say is..

                  Torres and Corley's Power comes from their speed!..he got caught with punches he didn't see coming..and Pac is known for doing that to opponents..

                  Bailey was probably the P4P hardest hitting opponent Cotto has ever fought IMO..and he CRACKED Cotto FLUSH!..and it didn't even stun him one bit..and that was at 140..but Bailey isn't about speed..he's solid POWER!..

                  I'll say if anything makes Cotto uncomfortable it's 2 styles..Speedy, Power, Combination type fighters..and bigger, pressure, always coming foward type fighters..

                  Cotto will have a rough time with Pac..and might even hit the Canvas..but Cotto will fight back and I think he can take the fight to Pac and TKO him..but I don't see Cotto bullying him all night..Pac will stun his ass..I can see it now..

                    that depends on the opponent cotto didnt always fight in destroyer mode he has never liked pressure but the question is how the **** is the smaller weaker man going to pressure cotto. guys like clottey and margs are naturally bigger and stronger pac is not
