I love watching this guy, but I can't help but wonder with all his wars how much longer Cotto will be able to remain at the top of the sport, I mean at 27 he has already had a number of difficult, wearing fights.
Ricardo Torres
Demarcus Corley
Lovemore N'Dou
Muhammad Abdulaev(this was a pretty tough war)
Zab Judah
Shane Mosley

its not like this is a huge number, but it takes its tole on a fighter. I see hope in that Cotto now uses his jab so effectively that guys like Gomez, and I think even guys like Lovemore will no longer present a problem for Cotto because his jab can now dictate the pace of every fight he is in, especially against slower fighters. That being said he does have good defensive skills IMO, but because he is offensively oriented he is bound to get hit more than guys like RJJ and Mayweather.

Do you guys see him becoming more of a boxer, or does he have 3 or 4 more years left? Or 5-6? Or will he be like Hopkins and fight into his 40's even though Cotto gets hit a lot more than Hopkins used to.
