    Agree, the word great is banded around much to often for my liking.

    I don't see it.

    Paret was a pesky grinder with good hand speed and average power. Was also there to be hit, and was tagged often by guys that just weren't as gifted as Cotto was. Cotto may struggle with Griffith's, strength, engine and versatility; but Paret's approach was more basic and isn't giving MAC the same amount of difficulty.
