You Heard It Here First!

The only thing Forbes HAS to do that he didn't vs De la Hoya was to up his punch output.

Vargas was a one dimensional fighter in love with his power...he didn't have ANY defense. Cotto fought a hard fight and had he stayed in and lost the decision I may agree with you but Cotto only had a couple rounds where he was really beaten up and so I don't think he's anywhere near washed up.

Cotto also didn't get startched by 1 punch either so I doubt he's going to be chinny or gunshy in his next fight either. When Vargas got beat by Trinidad he got floored a couple times early and then got smashed the rest of the fight...and vs De la Hoya he got his ass whipped over a prolonged period of time (albeit while winning many rounds).
