    Let's stick with the same logic..."Mosley beat the **** out of a prime Margario "
    Minus the loaded wraps!!!

    Cotto is past prime no question on that. But he has a little more left in the tank to be considered shot. I don't know how he'll react mentally to one of those fast accurate shot most don't see from Floyd. You know, after fighting slow guys like Margo, Mayorga, and Yuri Forman.

    No one can tell if he is shot.

    Prime Cotto loses wide UD/late TKO to PBF
    This Cotto loses wide UD/late TKO to PBF

    it'll be his next fight what tells the story, well that is if he has one.

    Reading ain't your strong point is it. :lol:

    In my opinion, he was shot ever since the margo illegal beat down. That is my opinion doesn't make it fact. That being said, cotto has performed in recent years to a standard that could be argued as being far from shot, but definitely past prime.

    :deal

    Yuri Foreman isn't slow. In fact he showed his boxing ability in that fight by cutting down on Foremans mobility with a consistent jab and intelligent pressure. Mayeb you should watch that fight again because i'm not sure what your looking at.

    Well, I have you quoted above saying "Cotto is shot", but now you think he could be "argued as being far from shot." LMFAO... which one is it you clown?

    :patsch

    You can't be this dumb. :rofl


    After the margo fight I believed cotto to be shot, once again you dick head that does not make it fact :lol:

    My feeling at the time of him being shot was further cemented in my opinion with his display against Jenning, Clottey and Pac. However since moving up to 154, Cotto no longer resembles what appears to be a shot fighter, or he would not have been able to have success at the higher weight class.

    What I believe that can be agreed upon is cotto is certainly past prime, just like his opponent may 5th. Now if you can't understand any of that, then I can't help you :rofl:lol:

    I call him pass prime. Shot fighters are the ones that are dull and can no longer last the entire fight

    He is saying Cotto is shot but since moving to 154 he might be wrong and not shot after all.

    Convenient isn't it?
