Puerto Rican icon Felix Trinidad has advised his countryman, Miguel Cotto, to retire after two or three more fights. Trinidad watched Cotto take a bad beating at the hands of Manny Pacquiao last Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He says Cotto has a few more fights in the tank but not many.�

The Puerto Rican former champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad said that Miguel Cotto should not retire after losing last night against Filipino Manny Pacquiao.

"Cotto has only two losses and I think he�can still have a few�more fights. My advice to him is to do two or three more fights and retire, because economically he has to be taken care of," Trinidad told El Nuevo Dia.

Trinidad and his father/trainer, Felix Trinidad Sr, were sure Cotto would beat Pacquiao but they were wrong. Trinidad saw Cotto's stamina crash after a bad beating.

"I always knew it would be a tough fight. Both me and my father believed that Cotto could dominate Pacquiao because he has�very good�technique. But what happened is that Pacquiao throws hard punches and he is very fast. And Cotto's stamina began to drop because the punches were doing a lot of damage."��

Glad Cotto got his ass kicked

Cotto needs to go back to what brough him to stardom, the basics. He has totally forgotten about the body work, he started off with the jab and had everyone including Roach concerned about the outcome of the fight, then he stopped using it as he was, only used randomly and still it was effective....

I think you may be right El Cabron. Cotto's scar tissue is not going to get any better with more fights it will only become more of a liability. His corner told him to pressure Pac-man in the eraly rounds (1-3). This was a mistake. I would have emphasized boxing and defense early on while he s...
