    Cotto.... his last performances I just dont know.
    Back when he fought at jr ww, he was the man. His style now is considerably slower. Or maybe he's just taking too many punches.

    Bottomline, Cotto's style has gotten slower and he is not in his prime anymore.

    Cotto. Too many hard fights. When a guy gets a beating like Cotto did with Margarito, he is another beating away from beating a shot fighter. Not many guys can take a beating like that. The quick knockouts like Hearns/Duran or Pac/Hatton are not as bad as fighters like Margarito/Cotto or Mosley/Margarito.

    Cotto is a good candidate.

    If he loses to Pacquiao he'll be branded "shot'. Fact is there are moronic claims in this forum saying that all fighters that Pac defeated are "shot" fighters. :D

    I'd say both Marquez's, although they give it all they got every time out.

    I'd say Hatton, but I think he's already shot.

    Also Taylor after the SMW tourney, but it'd be cool if he surprised everyone with some good wins.

    I hope Ortiz isn't. He just reminds me of Vargas during the Tito fight. He didn't taste the canvas as much but he took a beating.

    I wouldn't say Mosley is shot but he's pushing it. Did anyone notice how he was pulling his punches in the Maragarito fight? Everything that I've read made it seem as if that was vintage Mosley in that fight. I on the other hand think Margarito just sucked that bad.
