First of all I want to congratulate manny and the philippines on a great victory!
After witnessing the complete dominance of pac over cotto y have to say that cotto should hang them up. Many people including roach said that cotto was damaged goods and I refused to believe them. But I am convince now that he indeed is damage goods..
I am not taking anything away from manny, even if cotto was not damaged goods manny could have beat him. He has grown very well into the WW/ jrWW division.
Manny has proven to have a solid chin against one of the hardest hitters no question about it and, when cotto said that he was hurt by shots he did not see that was good enough for me to believe what others have been saying.
These are the reasons why I say cotto should hang them up.
He is a good boxer, but when you are spitting blood by the sixth round because your nose has been broken you cannot win any fights. I said it in a post before that if manny breaks cotto's nose manny will win and that is exactly what happend.
Damaged goods indeed, any high volume puncher would break his nose and most likely end up in a loss. I am afraid he will end his career in a similar fashion as benitez...I believe that fighters such as collazo, mosley, even berto and margarito would have a chance to beat cotto.
It was too bad that he said he will continue boxing it actually made me sad. Good luck to him.
