    Fought everyone, many felt he was damaged from his full potential in the first Margarito fight, and you know what else? He was a great boxer and it showed. Not boring to watch, at all.

    Change the name to Oscar De La Hoya and I would say the same thing. That was the point that Rummy made in his video and some of the same guys on here bashing Cotto give praise to Oscar when he beat up 4 old men and loss everytime he faced a prime elite fighter.

    In fact he was almost knocked out everytime too.

    He would've.

    All previous signs from his mouth pointed to him ducking Golovkin too -- his loss to Saul just took him out of the spotlight.

    If cotto had golovkin-like power in his fists, none of the guys in his resume would've got in the ring with him.

    2007 Shane Mosley was still a very very good fighter.
