| Cotto's Ex-Trainer/Uncle Hopes Miguel Opts To Retire
|
|
By Jhonny Gonzalez Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30KOs), a former three division champion, had a terrific performance last Saturday night in Las Vegas, when he traded punches for twelve rounds with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) at the MGM Grand. Although he lost a twelve round unanimous decision, Cotto performed much better than anyone expected. Evangelista Cotto, the uncle and former trainer of Miguel, hopes his nephew, 31-years-old, considers the possibility of retirement after earning a record high purse and performing at the top level against the best. In a radio interview NotiUno, Evangelista said - "[Miguel] should consider the option of [walking away from boxing] all his faculties intact. Boxers should not walk away when they are finished, they should walk away when they are still doing well. And right now he has a great opportunity to retire. There is no need to feel bad. He did an excellent job [against Mayweather], a great fight. When we were a family unit, myself along with his father, said Miguel would retire at age 30 with no injury." Tags: Miguel Cotto  |

He is too young to retire.. Bad advice from his uncle. I think Cotto should contnue to fight atleast two more years. Mayweather is planning to retire by age 37.Cotto is only 31 |

Cotto looks rejuvenated with Pedro at the helm, he did well against Margs and now Mayweather. Kind of interested to see if team Cotto can string together a run a 154 and possibly challenge for a title @160. There are 6 or 7 viable opponents @ 154 (Canelo, Vanes, Lara, Molina, Kirk, Angulo, K9, Pw... |
