Collazo nearly had him, Urango rocked him to the body, Mayweather did a double KO and even Lazcano had him wobbly. Stick him in with Manny who has pop and punches from angles you aren't expecting and out you go. Cotto has holes in his chin and has been regularly checked on his way up, but it was the ref who stopped it, Cotto would have got through the round. DLH wasn't knocked down and simply quit and Clottey made it through by not punching back. Manny has power, but I don't think he has the same one punch power of a fighter like Mosley.
Great quote in that film Facing Ali - I can't remember who it was from, perhaps Ron Lyle?

Anyway, he's trying to describe the difference between Foreman and Frazier. He says: "Getting hit by George is like getting hit by a truck doing 30 miles an hour, while getting hit by Joe is like getting hit by a Pontiac doing 70 miles an hour. They both hurt, but it's different."
