He lacks true KO power, this is shown because he can hit fighters with pretty hard clean combinations and they are not out. Therefore he cannot be the best current offensive fighter.
Exactly. Cotto, if he had a bit more snap to his punches, would be a monster. As it is now, he's offenisively still the best. He's an ever aggressive, super strong, smothering type of fighter with a superb body attack, like a welterweight Dick Tiger. He's the man, I predict that will eventually beat Mayweather. Calzaghe, if he had stronger bones in his hands, would be unbelievable, but still, he is at the top pund for pund with Cotto as far as I'm concerned, and will be too much for either Hopkins or Jones if they ever fight.
I obviously meant POUND for POUND in that last post. Imagine screwing the same word up TWICE with typo's? I should take classes on how not to screw up while typing.
yep. that's why the best current defensive and offensive fighters are now ranked #1 and 2 respectively atop the p4p charts. :deal
