shot fighter?

[slickfox]

what does it mean when people say a fighter is "shot". does it mean they just arent as good as they once were?

[Heeb]

It means they are significantly worse than they used to be now because of the damage they have taken earlier in their career.

[DLT]

drasitcallly worst after taking too much damage. Slower, wearker chin, weaker period. Miranda looks shot now. Cotto may be also

[slickfox]

if cotto might be shot why did pacquiao get so much credit for beating him?

[DiegoFuego]

and a big sign is that they can't pull the trigger anymore. they see the openings and opportunities but can't do anything about it.

look at Jose Luis Castillo vs. Gomez from March vs. any Castillo fight prior to his two with Corrales. That's shot

Cotto isn't shot. He took a brutal beating against Margarito but came back to walk through Jennings looking as good as ever before. He had a close fight with Clottey, but stylistically, Clottey was always going to be a problem for him. Losing to Pacquiao doesn't make a fighter shot.

[any craic lad?]

Morales without a doubt by the third Manny fight and a bit before was a shot fighter his prime was shortened because of the wars he had been involved in throughout his career
