No lying... My throat got dry as I saw and read this thread.
Fucken love's ya brotha Wacks... In real manly way.

Fucken eeeyyy!!! I remember Wackoff was one of the more "harder critics" of Cotto in his early days. I remember a specific talk we had some time around the Chop Chop fight where Wacks said it was time for Cotto to either step it up or get out of the way. I remember I told him that the way Cottos career was being managed was a good way and that there was no need to rush.
Wacks said that he wanted to see Cotto already with the best in the world.

Well as time has passed Cottos proven time and time again why he's considered P4P top 10 and #1 Welter in the world.

It sucks for me cause for many yrs. I spent here defending Cotto from the start (he was at 140) and at the same time defending Margarito for all I had endless threads of debates and El Gamo and myself trying to hold down the fort saying Tony deserved a shot at the best Zab ducked him, PBF ducked him, SSM ducked him now here we are he's gotten a shot and 2 of my fav. boxers meet.

With that being said I've sided with Cotto I just feel he's the better all around fighter.

One thing I will say is that if Tony catches Cotto with a clean shot and has him hurt Tony (like Cotto) is one of the best finishers in the business when he has his opponent hurt.
