    Exactly Cotto was in there running for his life. You've never seen PBF in that much distress in the ring. He looks like he's in control the whole time and Cotto didn't.

    This is no surprise to me cuz ive always thought of Cotto as a closet runner. I dont know why people made him out to be some kinda monster.. WEll was never that.. When he's hurt, he gets on his bike instead of going in the trenches..

    I realized this in his first step up fight against Lovemore N dou back in 04. Ndou the cagey veteran started hurting him and had Cotto running in the final rounds..

    Im sure u guys remember that

    No he didn't. I guess you've never seen their fights?

    Cotto was running for his life. The last tow rounds were anti climatic. Cotto couldnt survive fighting so he ran around the ring.

    he may have not danced around or made faces at Clottey but he never stopped throwing punches.

    Mayweather used movement and nailed Castillo with serious punches when he was cornered, this was nothing like what Cotto was doing. There's a difference between movement/defense and desperation and if you can't see it then you don't know enough about it.

    If you're hinting that Mayweather and Whitaker stopped throwing punches then explain how did they win their fights exactly?

    He did it against a way overmatched Baldo,and he ran a marathon against Hernandez.

    Castillo still outlanded him Floyd's deffense was to hold on if Cotto had done that youd say his a *****.

    Did it against Baldo and arguably won every round of the fight.:deal Not to mention having a broken hand is much worse than a cut. After all you're using your hands to score you know.:roll:

    I wouldn't say he's a *****, I'm not a noob like the ******s here to say he's a *****. I was suggesting that he SHOULD hold against Margarito when he needed to, but no he wanted to play gladiator to satisfy a few overweight McDonald's enthusiasts who ended up calling him a quitter, glass jaw and a loser.

    If hes as good as he says he his he should've beat Hernandez with one hand and without running after all C-level Gatti did it against Ward
