    Hwah, ha, ha. Cotto has been boxing with one-arm all throughout his career, just like when PAC was knocking out all those fools, remember, he was often ridiculed for being a one-trick pony, lol

      That wasn't the problem, his right hand was perfectly fine. Problem is, his right isn't good enough and I've said this from the start. I also said his left hook would be his downfall and I was right, Pacquiao was able to counter with the right hook over the top.

His right hand might not be great but it was a lot better than it look last night
        Cotto has NO right hand period. It's why Roach chose him.

            I really doubt it, Pacquiao made Cotto very cautious about throwing the right hand, he'd either pick it off with his gloves or he'd take a step or two back when Cotto threw his right hand so that Cotto overextended with the punch, then he'd step back in with left hands over the top, it made Cotto quite cautious.

            Yahoo reported that Cotto hurt his left shoulder in the 8th but by that point it was academic.

              Cotto is a class act even in defeat he did not make an excuse that is why lots of people respect him and always a fan.
