    I also wondered this, yet he might have been reluctant to throw, because Manny could have countered his straight right. Still like some of you said Cotto's body work consist of hooks, and seldom does he throw that jab, or straight right to the body, which he should have done. BTW why was he squared when he was throwing his body shots? being squared up like that takes power away from the shots you're trying to land, and leaves you open to be countered, or worse get hit by a hayemaker.

Doesn't have a clear cut victory against an elite fighter.
      C-level? I really wouldn't go that far, he is much better than C level.

        But I agree with King Tito, Cotto needs a new corner.
        Yeah, I wish Mayweather would put his punches together more. But he is a safety first fighter.

          C = average

          Cotto is an average fighter.

                Your crazy, average would not have fought that close with Clottey and Mosley. I think he beat them both despite the fights being close.

The hooks is just what he does, he doesn't throw straights to the body.
                    Hard to accept that but you're right.
