Has Cotto lost that "edge" since losing his 0?

    His chin was suspect. His last fight made him look vulnerable.

    hard to say based on one winning fight which gave him world title :huh

    He may always complain:

    ... yes I'm vulnerable, my chin is suspect, I've lost the edge,
    I won the world title in the best weight class undeserving and I
    feel ashamed of myself :-(

    Now I'm going to fight p4p #1, I'm huge favorite in that and probably
    I will win by KO :verysad .... but I really lost it since my first defeat :nut

    his competition gets harder, naturally making him look more vulnerable. Try putting him in a ring with a B level, he'd look invincible again.

    His aura is gone, and people know how vulnerable he is now. He's the same fighter he's always been it's just that his weaknesses have been exposed.

    He's lost something but he may have gained it back with the two wins since Margarito. He went to war with Clottey and looked good doing so. Perhaps against Pac he will be back to his very best - he's certainly training hard at the moment.

    His weaknesses were exposed long ago but it wasn't easy to take advantage of them. Judah thought he took full advantage of him but found out he needs to do a lot more and ended up stopped. Margarito had to to throw punches with concrete in his gloves for 11 rounds to take full advantage of them and it took him 11 ROUNDS.

    Cotto is not a joke despite his obvious weaknesses, he can fight back even when hurt and that's when he throws the most dangerous punches. Watch the fight with Torres.

    He's also improving as a boxer...although if his plan is to box with Pacquaio, he's going to find himself getting knocked out.

    The rise in people trying to discredit Cotto seems like a blatant attempt to try and negate a Pacquaio win if he does.

    When a boxer loses his 0 he will never be the same again. Some boxers will strive harder to become better while others like Cotto can't get over it and continue to decline.

    It's way too early to say he's declined. Especially after two winning performances, one in which he won more convincing than his foil Antonio Margarito.
