Cotto has more KO's simply because he spent the majority of his career @ 140 lbs. If Cotto had been a Welter as long as Clottey has he'd have less KOs and probably more losses. Cotto was aided by the numerous low blows that he landed against Judah. Take away the low blows and Judah would have probably finished that fight on his feet. And please, name the round and the seconds on the clock when Cotto made Cheatarito back up. You can't because it didn't happen. Again I ask, who has Cotto KO'ed @ 147 other than glass jawed Judah and no-hopers?
Are you kidding me? Because he spent time at 140? WTF does that mean? Pac spent time at 130 and guess what...he has more power than a **** load of fighters at 140. That doesnt make any sense. Low blows didnt drop Judah, punches did. He was deducted points in the 3rd round for low blows...he stopped him in the 11th!!! I mean, I know a nut shot can sometimes have a delayed reaction...but 8 rounds??? Show some credibility. I posted the hl from that video where it CLEARLY showed a number of occasions that Cotto backed up Margo (have you even seen that fight? At least watch the highlight...I mean, during the first 30 seconds, they show a slo-mo shot of Cotto doing just that). Did he continue to come forward afterward...yes. Margo has a great chin...and guess what, tho I agree Clottey backed up Margo a few times as well, he continued to come forward in that fight too. Cotto's record at 147 = 6-1 with 5 KO's...with stoppages vs Judah, Quintana, Gomez. The only fighters he did not stop are Margo and Mosely...who have been stopped a combined 1 time in 94 fights. And while we are on the subject, please tell me ONE top fighter Clottey has stopped...EVER!!! AT ANY WEIGHT??? Can you tell me one??? Is there one? Please stop the madness here...:-(
Cotto is not Pacquiao. Not even close. Pacquiao is a true puncher whereas Cotto is not. And while we're on the subject, who did Cotto KO @ 140 lbs? Nobody worth mentioning. The best 140 lber Cotto fought took him the distance. Pacquiao's lone KO @ 140 is WAY more impressive than anything Cotto has done @ 140 or 147. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I'd bet that Paquiao's left hand has more power than any punch in Cotto's arsenal. Yep, I'm saying that Cotto doesn't even hit as hard as a guy who was fighting @ 126 not all that long ago... Yep, low blows dropped Judah. More than once. The low blows came before the knockdowns. Go back and watch the fight. Take away the low blows and it's probably a different fight. Anyhow, it took Cotto 11 rounds to do what Kostya Tszyu was able to do in only 2 [without having to cheat]. Yeah, I've seen the fight plenty of times. Like I said, Cotto wasn't able to back Margarito up @ any time during the fight. He was too busy running. Maragrito spent the WHOLE night comming forward. OTOH, Margarito showed some respect for Clottey's power. He showed none for Cotto's. Again I ask, who has Cotto KO'ed @ 147 other than a glass jawed Judah and a few no-hopers. And in case you didn't know, Clottey has more KO's @ 147 than does Cotto...
Margarito did not train for the Mosely fight, he knows that, that's why Margarito is so confident he will beat Mosely in a rematch.
