    Finish fights brutally and violently? oh cause its not like hes knocked out his last 9 of 10 opponents in championship fights. Does he have to beat superstars like Shane Mosley?

    teh guy gets one bad decision in his career. Cause Mosley didnt rob Oscar right....

    get over it, Cotto won the fight period.

    Cotto showed me everything I need to know last night. He is the real deal.

    Though I had Shane handily winning the fight, Cotto is totally legit. He is a tough, excellent fighter.

    Thanks. That's what's driving me nuts -- never have I been more impressed with Cotto than last night. It just so happens he wasn't the better man in the ring. No shame in coming up short to a future HOF'er.

    Cotto is a GREAT fighter, with incredible timing, will and skill. I'm upset that the Cotto 'huggers are making me defend Mosley, who won the fight. Cotto is the real deal, no doubt. I'm sold.

    He needs to knock out Wladimir Klistchko before he gets respect. It was first the weak chin, then the low blows, now this. Its hilarious. When he fights Mayweather they will most likely say that he has no personality. :lol:

    this is what is pissing me off about boxing fans.

    cotto won that fight without a shadow of a doubt

    at the final bell, shane new he had lost

    cotto boxed the last round on the run cos he knew he had won

    cotto should be given credit

    mosely fans should accept that he has lost 5 of his last 12 and is past it.
