    I couldn't help but thinking he was somewhat vulnerable in his last fight with Clottey. He is an outstanding fighter, don't get me wrong, but he seems somewhat vulnerable to pressure and refuses to tie his man up every now and then.

    Do you think he's as good as he used to be, or that Margarito, legally or not, took away some of the aura of invincibility?

    IMO he has. i know he has stepped up in competition, but just the way he looked before Margarito he was a badass. Now, he has lost that "edge" When he fought Clottey and Jennings really he didn't look like the same fighter that he was.

    Vulnerable against Clotty ? I think your underatting Clottey as an opponent .. I do agree Cotto should tie up his opponents if ever he gets in trouble again but he doesn't take me as the type of fighter that would .

    In my opinion, The Clottey fight was a very difficult fight for Cotto. I personally don't believe that he's done/shot or a shadow of his former self. We will get to find out soon. :happy

    Possibly yes. But I think he's getting it back. I think Margarito broke his heart, but continuing against Clottey with that cut when he could of took the easy way out took big cohones.

    Without doubt he did, whether he's lost his edge or not, he has lost that aura that he had.

    Everyone knows that he can be worn down and beat now.

    i think that nasty cut had alot to do with the way he looked against clottey. without the cut he would have won a more clear decision. and the fact that he fought most of the fight with that cut tells me that cotto has plenty left in the tank.

    I thought that too he looked to have lost a little bit of belief in himself.
