    Was Cotto "damaged goods"?

    I dont know but that was not the Cotto that outboxed and had more speed than Shane Mosley or that took names until Margarito.

    Nothing can be taken away from Pacman. He is an unbelievable boxer. But Cotto broke very early. He abandoned his game plan and you could visually see he was uncomfortable in there.

    I thought he would get by Pacman and take on Mayweather....a fight that should of happened in 2007. But there is no chance of that happening now.

    The fight between Pacman and Mayweather will be sick. First fighter than stands a legit chance in years.

    That knockdown in round four would have KTFO most 147 fighters and anyone 140 and below.

    Punches like that change fights.

      No.

      He didn't look like "damaged goods" to me.

        None of this, no, none of this kind of talk please.

        Cotto was f***** up and had no choice but to abandon his gameplan. Cotto came out strong, he looked good, and then Pac took it away.

          He looked like his normal self and not to be damaged imo. Miguel looked like if he was in the ring with someone else he could of won. People need to give Manny respect, he's just a better fighter. Miguel will have another day in the sun but last night was not the night.

              Cotto did OK. He didn't look like damaged goods at all. Pac just outclassed him.

                Cotto didn't keep his cool and that was the source of the problem for him. He ****ed up and thought he could take Pacquiao on with his own style of fighting well i got news for you, you wanna do that you get brutalized!

                    yep. Roach said that he felt Cotto was shot from the beating he took ffrom marg and he was right.

                    cotto was shot and weight drain. i couldnt believe dude was so small after rehydrating
