Is it possible for boxers to go from "shot" to "not shot"?

No just labled shot way too soon by people with an agenda.

 

YES DEFINITELY, by *****s.

 

Cotto is still one of the best in the world

 

just curious, did you take time to look for these, or do you have them in a word document on your computer ready for use when the need arises?:think

 

As far as physical damage, Cotto doesn't take it as well since the Margarito incident. That's just the facts. Ability? He's about the same as he was in 08'. It's his confidence that has been shaky at times since, and I'm not one of those who thinks he's been

since the rematch with Antonio.

I think Cotto is the best of a bad situation and DEFINITELY deserves the opportunity. He's also the most accomplished champ @ JMW right now, so it is what it is.

All that to say, no, he's not shot.

 

Cotto has spent the last couple of months in the position of having the two biggest stars in the sport trying to outbid each other for a fight with him as whoever didn't get the Cotto fight was going to suffer a dip in PPV sales.

Crazy position for Miguel

 

oops. wrong thread

 

The problem is that people often get a bad performance or stylistic mismatch confused with being "shot", or alternately, confuse a favourable stylistic matchup with being "not shot".

We thought Hopkins was shot after Calzaghe. Now we know he wasn't (or is he?).
We thought Mosley was not shot after Margarito. Now we know he was (or is he?).

The question isn't whether a fighter is shot, it's whether his opponent matches up to what that fighter can still do well.

I'm prepared to give Mayweather full credit for being Cotto. Which he will do. Rather easily, considering "prime Cotto" barely escaped Mosley four years ago.

 

Yup.

He's overhyped and shot when Pac's fighting him, but better than ever when Floyd's fighting him. :roll:

 

There's always one last good fight for a shot fighter.

 

for the fomos it's possible
