It's funny how only One fight can change the whole perspective on a person.
Not long ago there were insults being thrown back and forth about Cotto and how he was "Shot" and "Damaged goods" post the Margarito/pac beat down, and so-and-so beating him didn't really count....
Now everyone has amnesia after his recent mangling of Sergio Martinez.
He's now a beast and the past is magically forgotten.
No longer if you beat him now..."he was shot...etc.." It'll now be said "...He beat a BEAST in Cotto who anhilated Sergio Martinez..."
People are too quick to jump to conclusions from the seat of their couch.
Losing one or two, even a few fights doesn't mean that your "shot to pieces" and it doesn't even mean that "you suck.
It simply means that out of the billions of people on this planet, theirs a few guys out there that could kick your a$$, and theres nothing wrong with that.
Especially if you still can kick the a$$ of the remaining billions of people.
So many different things factor into being perfect on fight night.
That's the one night where it all has to come together for you, absolutely nothing can go wrong if you are to win. Now ask yourself how many days have you had in your life where everything came together perfectly, for that one day everything was perfect? Now, how many times were you able to on cue re-create the perfect day or doesn't it just randomly happen when the stars align just right?
It's not easy for these guys man, you basically are a business, your body. These guys have to run the business that is their self, and at the same time maintain training(which is a full time job 24/7 at the top level), a wife, kids, taking care of family, business, personal problems, etc...
At any given time there's a million and one things that can go wrong and f^ck up your whole training camp and/or fight night.
Let's give these guys a break and some props man.
Let show a little more respect to these warriors man.
