    There you go, Cotto is tiny and flabby at 154, and probably too comfy/lazy to try to make 147. How is 150 unfair to him, it's right in his sweet spot.

    He also blamed Pac 2 falling through over money. Consider what he would have made for Trout. Puts any weight excuses in context.

    Mind you, I don't care it fell through, just sick of the weight excuse when 150 is optimal for Cotto, and far from for Pac.

      I think the Trinidad that fought Vargas would beat every one of them, probably by KO.

        Hey man, get back to me on this sometime, explain what makes you think this. Fighters get KOed all the time and don't go shot. Yes, he struggled to make weight. You think worse than all those years he tried to make 147?

        What I saw in the ring,

        - he threw more punches than any Pac opponent by a big margin
        - he landed more punches ...
        - he hurt Pac worse than anyone at welter+ till JMM 4
        - he showed an intact cast iron chin and resolve

          And I know people will say they was #1 or #2 at the time but that is only because he has waited years for the division(s) to thin out.

          ''Its his 4th weight class'' Please!

          Lets face it he wasted most of his prime. I can't support the guy any longer and haven't for years, hes a joke.

          Mitchell, Boldomir, Ortiz Cotto, 40yr old Mosley.

          Just names when he fought them. Err. Just retire, I cba spending the next 3 years listening to Larry defend the **** you fight.
          just what i was thinking

            He was slower, threw less punches and his shots lacked pop
            i think he was mentally ready for the fight but was pass his physical prime, just compare him to some of his fights at welter

              He threw over 800 punches, that probably higher than any other Pac opponent by 70%. Of course his output would drop a little vs his quickest moving opponent ever. Lack of power, well it's hard to tell what he had without plaster, but he hurt Pac more than anyone in years. And speed, I hope you're joking.

              oh btw, when are you adding JMM to your avatar. He's fought in 2 CW bouts he requested, exact same as Pac
