I don't know why people are like this, it's ****ing weird. Just call it as you see it that's all you have to do instead of doing these little things to help your fighter look better. Cotto looked great vs Mayweather, very good against Margarito and average against Trout but I felt Trout performed well in that fight so I don't understand how Cotto is suddenly shot. As for Mosley he's absolutely shot to **** and has been for years.
Apart of why Cotto lost to Trout is he doesn't excel against fleet footed southpaws. manny showed us this, and Cotto's right hand leaves much to be desired
Cotto's faded but still a quality fighter. Gave both Floyd and Trout competitive fights. Mosley was past his best even a decade ago, and he's been totally shot for a while now. Still had enough of a spirit to have a few decent moments against Canelo, but he was really just finished as a top level fighter heading into that one.
They're all shot. Everyone. Pac, FMJ, Cotto, Mosley, Trout, Canelo, Rigo - all shot. **** it. Everybody is shot. Lomachenko is shot. Broner is shot. All of them are ****ing shot.
IMO Mosley was done. Do mostly to age, more so than SHOT. Cotto on the other hand, was completely SHOT. He isn't even that old. He has been in several wars. Tough fights. He still has some juice because he isn't too old but he clearly wasn't the same guy.
