    just watching cotto vs mosley again and man you can see the difference in the cotto of last week and the cotto of 2007

    He got hit with some of mosley's bombs in rounds 2 and 3 so pretty early and stayed calm recovered and remained focused

    He got hit with pac's bombs and he was feeling them pepper his face and his confidence and composeur dropped

    What a difference a beating from margo makes

    or even too much self-confidence and not knowing your limits and where to focus your fighting

    or is pac stronger at WW than Mosley? I don't think so but you never know with the beast!

    When Pac knocked him down it was shots Cotto didn't see coming. What really hurt Cotto is Pac just shredded his face. Cut him up from all kinds of angles.

    Manny said himself he was trying to put him to sleep but couldn't.

    Cotto will always be easy to cut and swell. He needs to improve his defense. Too many holes there.

    ya i think it was more the fact cotto didnt see pacs punches from those angels ... i picked cotto to win honestly based on the mosely fight and the punches he took as if they were nothing and the way he handeled the speed but fkn manny just shocked me

    Cotto's just not the same .... had he thrown arm punches reaching at mosley with his chin straight up in the air like he did against pacquiaou in 4th round Mosley hell even Judah would have KNOCKED him out ! Cotto technique has fallen by the wayside and Pac made him pay

    mosley and judah dont have angles pacquiao has...
    and pacquiaos power is underated because people are thingking hes a 106lb guy, thats one of pacmans advantages, unfortunately for cotto it was too late before he realised pacquiao has the same power he has...
