    He's in his prime. He'll be an elite fighter for atleast 5 more years.

    he's dead in his prime.. he just fought a top notch opponent in clottey that's why he didnt look so dominant.

    It's like pac when he fought marquez.. people thought pac's dominance was over after he escaped a split decision win against marquez. And suddenly he destroyed 3 bigger opponents.. Cotto's next!

    He is in his prime until proven otherwise. Who knows, he might be Pre-Prime?

    Thank you, well put.

    As long as a fighter is as physically good as he ever was, including speed, power, timing, stamina, reflexes etc then he is prime IMO. This disregards when a fighter is properly damaged mentally, ie guys like Judah for example, and possibly Lacy (though his demise may well have been that shoulder)

    Cotto has proved I think in the Clottey fight that he is still where he ever was as a fighter. He still hss the haert and determination, so physically and mentally he is all there, and thus prime.

    See Vargas-shot before 30...this could be Cotto but probley not. As far as being overhyped, every so called star is overhyped at the moment. Let's settle down with this Mayweather is God ****, get them both in the ring and we'll see who is the better man.

    I agree with YBFake. Anything but a prime champion fighter doesn't finish the Clottey fight. Cotto is the picture of a dignified champ. But I still hope Pac wins so he can kick Mayweather's ass.

    Yeah yeah yeah I've heard that so many times . . . that's the same case and the deal with Pac vs MAB, Pac vs Morales, Pac vs JMM I and II and Pac vs. Hatton :D

    AFter the fight . . . what? These fighters are all shots and past their primes. Just recently there was a thread here asking when was the last time Pac fought and beat a fighter in his prime. :deal

    :rofl :lol: :rofl :lol: :rofl :lol: :rofl :lol: :rofl

    cotto is not shot!!!!!!!!

    Give him credit he took a brutal beating of tony
    with possible loaded wraps

    it was his 1st loss and a hard defeat to come back from

    the jennings fight didnt cont

    so clottey was his first real test back......clottey is a tough mutha

    and miguel had to fight with a bad cut in a highly competitive fight

    which he passed :deal

    you can never count him out :bbb
