One who thought cotto looked beautiful tonight? Nice jab , good balance, improved defense. Seriously it looked as if cotto was playing with mayorga , or mayorga was boxing the air. I for one do not think cotto is washed up!
Am I the only...

It might have something to do with the fact he was fighting Ricardo Mayorga.
He pretty much fights the same as he always has too. Just not as good. -
Cotto looked good, but he's just too short...he needs to go back to Welterweight. At 154, the guys are too big and absorb his punches much better. At 147, his power is still lethal.
Mayorga though gave a good effortComment

Well, I think Cotto's face would disagree. Nonetheless, the fact he struggled at all against a 38 year old, semi-retired whose last meaningful win was probably about ten years ago, is not looking beautiful.
Looking beautiful against that type of opponent (ie. someone who is easy to hit, counter and box) is going in and plastering him within four or five rounds without getting a scratch on your face. Like past prime Oscar did to a prime Mayorga and Tito did too.
Cotto looked nearly as bad as Mosley did.Comment

I thought so too.
his eyebrows were nicely plucked and i liked his facial stubble.
pretty as a pictureComment

He showed patience and poise. Nothing about his performance points to "shot." Only a rookie would make such a claim. He fought a SMART fight and took his time until he landed that shot that made Mayorga's brain run into his thumb for 5 seconds. Mayorga was spooked by that sensation.Comment

Cotto fought an awkward, tough sonuva...
Bring on Margarito, I think Cotto can coast to a decision based on his footwork tonight.Comment

He hurt Mayorga several times during the fight and made him quit because of wicked left hook that took all the fight out of him. Nothing happened to his hand...Comment
