    Margarito didnt look shot to me against Pac he was just in there with a superior opponent. Also Cotto is not in his prime but he isnt shot either and both could still beat most of the top 10 in their divisions or at least be very competetive.

      Margarito was a heavy bag against Pacquiao. It's one thing to get your ass beat, it's another to get butchered. He was butchered.

      Mosley is too damn old and people need to let him go already, which I don't think they'll have a hard time doing after Pacquiao pounds him worse than he did the aforementioned Margarito.

      Cotto is the least shot of the three imo, but he's still far from where a lot of people place him.

        I don't see how Cotto or SSM are shot or how anyone can make that claim with merit.

        Marg, maybe.......we have to see how he looks.

          Savage beating coming off a year long layoff = shot

          Cotto is terrible he almost lost to a complete bum in Joshua Clottey and it took him 9 rounds to beat a bum who was fighting on one leg.

          They are not competitive fighters and have no chance at beating anybody decent.

            If your definition of shot is about wear and tear, then Pac is shot.

            Give me a ****ng break!

              Margarito's not shot, he's just not that good, especially with the layoff.

              Also, Mosley and Cotto are past prime, but not shot. Cotto, especially, is nowhere near shot.

                STFU you noob. Fans like you dont know ****. When a fighter loses idiots like you are easy to label them shot or bum. Losing is part of the game look at ****in morales, he was supposed to be shot five years ago yet put on a great show against maidana.

                Those 3 you mentioned are not prime but are still capable of competing at elite level especially cotto.

                  When did Pacquiao take multiple beatings like Margarito Mosley and Cotto have?

                    So it doesn't matter if they get butchered by Pacquiao and also lose to/have no prayer against Mayweather, they're elite regardless?

                    Perhaps your definition of elite and mine are different, but when I think elite, I think about a guy who actually has a shot to win.
