Yeah. I felt Cotto's handspeed and reflexes looked dulled against Clottey as well. Thought he won the decision (by a point) but got the feeling he is nearing the end of his career - which he himself has admitted (the ending career part).
His new trainer, Santiago, expressed that the he feels the speed is still there and is something they will train/focus more on with the Pacquiao fight.
I don't blame anyone, Mayweather or Cotto, for wanting to fight Pac. He's a huge payday win or lose and is an amazing fighter with big recent wins against very good opponents - no excuses for the losers. They lost to the better man.
That said I still believe Cotto has enough goods to TKO or KO Pac. I just think the style matchup favors Cotto.
