    cotto dont have that kind of mentality, he is someone who believes he is strong, and would put fuel to the fire.. yes he would be careful against manny the second time around, but he wont do that the whole twelve and would also love to take his chances to hurt packy and that would leave holes for pacquiao...
    cotto had tons of bad habits at that point from not having a trainer or gameplan, period.

        Part of me thinks he was wrap stacking as well.

          I don't think his power has went anywhere...He knock down Mosley busted up Margarito..He just fought fighters who were smart enough to not fight to PAC strenghts his last two fights...

              In other words, no fight.

              Manny flat out doesn't do #3 and I can't remember the last time he fought a top opponent without #2 on that list either.

                but naazim richardson was watching pac wrap his hands and he had no complaint..and mosley said that the power he felt from pac's punches were something he has never felt before..and pac did knock him down with one punch, which is something a much larger and younger and some say stronger canelo couldn't even do afterwards.

                  bradley? the best 140 lber at the time and top ten p4p..and pac did agree to floyd's random drug testing. the only issue now is the money..why does people keep forgetting that pac agreed to random drug testing?

                    I love how the grubby pacstains like to pretend he agreed the next day, not two years later.

                      Regardless if you think Pac has the style advantage, ppl can't say that this fight wouldn't be more competitive than their last.
