No announcement yet.
So, was Cotto washed up all year or only after Trout beat him?

Maybe washed up is too much, but Margarito and Pacquiao ruined Cotto. I don't understand why Foreman, Mayorga, and a shell of Margarito would make anyone think otherwise.

Cotto isn't washed up. No version of Cotto would have faired any better against Trout than the version that we saw fight him. Trout is simply too big and skilled for Cotto. Cotto is not big enough to really compete against an elite jmw and its funny watching people readily admit that when they refuse to admit that when it comes to a certain other fighter who's even smaller.

Floyd: Cotto wasn't the same fighter after he fought me. WTF.
IMO. trout even did slightly better than Floyd. Floyd was hit clean with a lot of jabs in the nose while trout fought a slicker and cagey style. its not all about trout being too big, he just have the style to make cotto look like that. Cotto has enough left in the tank and was the same fighter after margo.

Cotto wasn't washed up before floyd or before trout. He just lost to 2 better boxers.

But there are posters like Burner, who when I said Trout beats Cotto posted vigorously on Cotto's behalf. But after Trout beat him, now Trout beat a faded fighter. He's supposed to be 1 of the more knowledgeable fans.
