We learned Cotto is shot, now not a 154 lb fighter for one fight, and had bad camp

    Angulo, Canelo, Vanes, and even Lara are way too big for Cotto.

    Cotto is an either an undisciplined 147 lb fighter or a cherry picker at 154.

    You pick.

    Any Cotto fan thinking Cotto would win was being ignorant. I thought it was a clear prediction, but you can't take people's ridiculousness into account. He was never the same after Margarito; and no he did not become 'unshot' in the Mayweather fight. The combination of more power and a slightly bigger size proved as an advantage but not enough.

    In the Trout fight he put up a decent fight; surprisingly he was never seriously hurt as I expected. But the difference in size was just too much.

    As for training camp, Diaz did a great job, Cotto moved around in a great fashion, people like JuanMa should get in touch with him. I can see by people would criticize him, Cotto did not look in great shape but Cotto never looks impressively in shape.

    Cotto's great, some excuses are obvious and legitimate, the way some people throw them is ridiculous. So k,bye.

    @Roach, you are every bit hyprocritical as the people who flip flops.

    Just bc you heard a couple of excuses doesn't mean everyone believes it. Just like nobody believes the **** you spew out everyday on ESB.

    Trout is definitely good, but Cotto looked like he was moving in slow motion.

    He is not that big! Cotto is 5'7, 1 inch shorter than Floyd. He looked no bigger than Floyd, and less muscle tone. This guy does not look big enough for 154, he's a 147 fighter who can't be bothered to lose weight. If he was 154 he'd fight Margarito at that weight without asking him to go to 150...

    cotto doesnt have the hunger anymore simple as that.... it happens all the time when fighters are millionaire and get too accustomed to their comfortable life and media attention they just become the celebrity and stop being the fighter

    just look at cotto's interviews and you'll easily see that he is not a fighter anymore and takes himself to damn serious and thinks he is more important than he really is....
