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."
