When will the war catch up with Cotto?

[littlebif]

He has been in some wars the last few years with Judah,Margarito and Clottey and a few more.How long before they catch up with him.He's still only 28 but he carnt keep been in these sort of fight without it taking its affect on him.

[Quinito]

I think he's starting to go down hill. Mosley would beat him for sure in rematch imo.

Shane Mosley hasn't looked that good in recent fights either IMO, yes he did beat Antonio Margarito impressively. But how good is Antonio Margarito really ? without loaded gloves ?

Because he didn't have the same thudding punches in the Shane Mosley fight, as soon as he didn't have loaded gloves.

He still KO'd a guy with an iron chin. Also Shane fought a fight that didn't allow Margarito to get off his uppercuts, so it's difficult to say whether he was suddenly weaker

Mosley stopped Mayorga as well, he bet Collazo much worse than Berto or Hatton, he stopped MArgarito, and he almost beat Cotto.

He stopped Ricardo Mayorga but whats that saying really ? Ricardo Mayorga is one of the most one dimensional/sloppy fighters in current boxing, and his chin isn't even as solid as it used to be. And he isn't as good as he once was.

Plus Shane Mosley also struggled against Ricardo Mayorga, and ODLH beat a better version of Ricardo Mayorga in 6 rounds instead of 12 rounds. And without struggling at all either.

Luis Collazo broke his hand which changed the fight totally IMO, had it not been for that incident. I believe the fight would of been alot closer.

As i said about Antonio Margarito already he has no skills, and he relied on loaded gloves to wear opponents down. Because of his limited skills, how good is he really without loaded gloves ?

And after watching the fight a few more times, i thought Miguel Cotto beat Shane Mosley clearly. It was close points wise but Miguel Cotto won his rounds more clearly.

He controlled the fight with his solid left jab, and Shane Mosley only made a comeback late on because Miguel Cotto. Cruised in the later rounds because he knew he had the fight won.

I don't really see Shane Mosley doing much better, Shane Mosley isn't that good at adjusting IMO. And the left jab of Miguel Cotto will give him fits again like it did the 1st time.

Well at 28 Cotto already fought the very best welterweights out there outside of the GIGANTIC Paul Williams who like Margarito has no business squeezing their bodyframes in a weight class too small for them.

Cotto clearly beat Mosely, stopped by the CHEAT'O which IMO is NOW shady and won a close battle against a great WW himself in Clottey. Even PBF did not attempt getting anywhere near those guys.
COTTO YOU ARE A WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, Pac hasn't been tagged hard in 3 fights since Marquez and even that was more a tactical game of chess than any war.

There is no real sign of wear and tear on Pac at the moment. Personally, I think people are being too harsh on Cotto's performance. I recall Pac having a hard time because of a head butt against Morales a long time ago. Cuts can be detrimental to a fighters performance and this was just another instance. Cotto being done at 28 seems far fetched to me.

Don't be so set on the age. Age can be deceiving. David Reid and Fernando Vargas were shot at younger ages than that. Its like comparing two 2005 Cadillacs, one with 50,000 miles and one with 150,000 miles. Same year different mileage. No longer the same car. And Cotto has a lot of mileage. He fought a string of punchers coming up and now he has been in rough wars with the elite fighters. Its evident he is not the same fighter and if I was on his team I would have him take the rest of the year off. Mosley, Pac, or PBF would do bad things to him at this point. PWill would finish his career. Cotto needs a break.

In the opinion of many people, PAC is even improving in each and every fight... That's some SCARY news to future PAC opponents...

I think this is a fair question.

Cotto had a tough fight with Corley, an all-out WAR with Ricardo Torres, then the tough fights with Judah, Mosley, Margarito, and now Clottey. He also had some very physical fights on his way up against guys like Ndou and Abdullaev.

You can only go to the well so many times.
