did i dispute the fact that Pac beat Larios? no, he could have KO'd him the same round, doesn't change the fact that his chin got checked and he get rocked by Larios
I can make the same case with Cotto then... when he fought Torres. Heck, even pillowhands Malinaggi rocked him in the 11th.
the difference with Cotto is he was killing himself to make weight at 140 against a natural 140 lb fighter, not like Manny who was still comfortably making 130 and getting rocked by a guy who had jumped up from 122 lbs, Torres is considered one of the hardest hitters in his weight class so no, not really the same thing
