    no.

    I think he lost his edge when he stepped up the level of opposition. He didn't look that much better against Mosley than he did against Clottey. And he didn't look that great against Judah either.

    PEOple expected Cotto to kill Jennings in the 1stt rd. .... too bad that was not his plan. He took it easy but a sure equal result. Against Clottey he could've gone to the cards and easily win (he and everybody else knew he was ahead clearly after the knockdown on the first) but as a natural warrior that he is and wanting to give fans a good show he kept on going against a very tough opponent, no clinching included:hey, btw... JC is a real badass.... I love Mosley, but I can't wait for DEC. 26 (assuming the fight happens) and see how he looks against Clottey.... then we'll talk 4 sure...

    Aside from round 1 and 7 against Judah, Cotto dominated.

    No, his opponents got bigger and better. Alot of people's memories of Cotto are from the 140 pd division.

    Are you familiar with Cotto's career?? He was "vulnerable" against Lovemore N'dou in 2004. He's ALWAYS been vulnerable to pressure. ALWAYS. That's why some of us picked Margarito BEFORE that fight took place. :lol:

    He looked vulnerable because of what Clottey was doing and an early cut. Cotto fought the way he usually does, nothing different there.

    Ever since he lost that 0 he certainly has atleast reached his prime already.

    I swear man after every Cotto fight before Margarito its always the same ****

    "And the scary part is he isnt even in his prime yet"

    I think Pac/Cotto fight is a tossup.
