Ugh... I hate when people say this crap.
1. Cotto fought for 7 rounds, then ran like a girl for the rest of the fight...That wasn't very convincing, and look at what happened when Hopkins tried that against Calzaghe.
2. Mosley was about to stop him in like round 10 but the ref pulled them apart because there was water on the ground...That pissed me off even more than the Hatton-Lazcano break...
3. Triangle theories aren't effective in boxing. Fraizer lost to Foreman but beat Ali, but Ali was able to beat Foreman. Pavlik destroyed Jermain Taylor twice while Hopkins lost to him twice, but Hopkins dominated Pavlik. Floyd Mayweather fought two hard battles with Jose Luis Castillo while Hatton KO'ed Castillo in 4, but Mayweather KO'ed Hatton in 10 (although Castillo was past his prime, Hatton still would have beaten him regardless). Styles make fights, and style wise Cotto was the man that night. HOWEVER, Mosley was very foolish to fight his game plan and if he had fought from the distance like he should have, it would have been an easy night for him.
4. Style wise, Cotto was a very good opponent for Pacquiao. He literally had nothing in his arsenal that could win that fight. I look at Pacquiao like a prime Zab Judah with a better chin, slightly less handspeed and better stamina. Judah gave Cotto HELL before he gassed out.
