    To be honest I have no idea what a prime Cotto could have done differently.
    I see it being the same fight.

    What do you think would of changed?

    I think we were looking at the best Cotto. I don't remember Cotto looking better than this in any fight except the blow outs against no hopers.

    cotto's the exact example of a fighter who learns more from a loss than a win. 'prime' or undefeated cotto would've gotten whooped. he improved a lot since his defeats. much better head movement and footwork, less of his poor shoulder roll and more keeping his hands up, better jab and better stamina. this probably is prime cotto. 31 years old....

    I don't think much would be different, impossible to really speculate.

    A 'prime' Cotto would of fought with flatter feet and lost a wider decision.

    Better jab. Way more going for the kill.

    Cotto isn't past his prime dumb ass. Everytime somebody loses a fight you un-knowning boxing fans call them shot.

    ROY JONES IS SHOT, HOLYFIELD IS SHOT, JAMES TONEY IS SHOT. NOT Cotto, Morales, Margarito...people lose.
