Actually Cotto has been very lucky in that he has gotten alot of chances to prove himself and failed. First it was at 140 he was weight drained (his stamina issues are still present), then it was Margaritos fault (which wasn't ever proved), to getting his ass whipped by a "juicing" Pac man. Give me a break. Sometimes you have to chalk it up to he was the lesser man.
He wears his pants low to arouse all his fans. :-\ And it works because they are delusional about his abilities and his great personality.
who ever has.... shane is an elite fighter, he hasnt been stopped against bigger men at 154lb, so cotto shouldnt be expected to
and for the margarito thing
first off, the cotto fight may have took a lot out of him, i dont care how you wanna look at it he took a lot of hard flush shots that fight that have to have an effect somewere down the line
and styles make fights ... triangle theorys dont work as proved dozens of times... 3 times by mosley himself infact
He still isn't elite. Triangle theory or not. He lost the Margarito fight because he did the Hatton/Cobb defense (catching shots with his face).
i dont remember margarito landing anything really meaningful till around the 5th,6th round when cotto started to tire.... if you call this defending with his face.... i guess pernell whitakers defence is just average right ?
