I could be a typical american and say "He's from france and you expect him to be a good fighter with some punching power what are you stupid?" but i'll take the high road and i won't say that.

The guy's 37 but some of the guys hes beaten recently have ok looking records and hes had a title. 40-5 isn't bad (a 12.5% ko ratio against that group is but w/e). A mandatory is a mandatory. I'm sure if cotto had his choice he'd pick someone else.
