This worrying article is from m.marleys site. Is this a sudden abrupt end to a promising young fighter?
"In boxing, just as in any business, rumors have a way of becoming facts. The rumors that usually grow into factual information are usually the persistent ones. Now there is a persistent rumor about Miguel Cotto.
Some of those in Puerto Rico, including people who Cotto was close to long before he became Top Rank chattel, are saying that the ex-welterweight champion is having problems dealing with his stunning and brutal loss to Antonio Margarito.
It’s not the cuts, bumps and bruises from Margarito’s devastating KO victory. It’s the psyche of a suddenly not undefeated fighter whose “I am the man” attitude may have slipped into arrogance.
“Miguel seems to have cut himself off, isolated himself,” one longtime acquaintance told me this week. “He is not responding to old friends, to invitations for social events. He seems to want to be alone.
“I know him since he was a little kid, starting in boxing, and that’s not the Miguel Angel Cotto I know and love. It seems as though he’s gone into a mental slump.”
Ouch!
Nothing was beat out of him. This loss is only going to fuel his next fights and exceed his hunger even further.
"For every dark night, comes a bright and shining morning." -Tupac
I feel bad for Cotto's next opponent.
If he was so slummped over it they wouldn't be signing 2009 rematch already. I think he is pissed off at himself for losing and not being able to take the punishment.
Sounds like another Puerto Rican's thoughts. (Kermit Cintron)
I just don't understand the talk of a rematch.
The demoralizing aspect of it was how brillantly Cotto fought in the first half of the fight. And there is probably nothing he could have improved on, he still got knocked out. Miguel needs to get some other fights and help Margarito leaves the division within the next year sometime. If he doesn't.....well then roll the dice and let it ride next december.
Cotto is shooting heroin with Vince Young in a dingy Nashville hotel room right now.
There's a lot of smack he can get in before he gets his ass kicked (again) in June...
HAHAHAHA LOLOLO Miguel Cotto goes out and is partying more than ever, what a BS article.
I've seen him several times hanging out here in PR, I even made a post about him being out partying just 4 days after the fight. Someone alsoposted photos of him at the Marck Echo party a month or so ago.
This is all BS, Cotto ain't all depressed or shit because he lost to Margarito. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!
I was about to say the same thing. The guy just co-promoted a show with Top Rank and talks with the PR media all the time. He's begging to get back in the ring.
aND next time he will get killed, trying to say Margarito will be his 33rd victory......shame on him....
NO way Cotto will be much better in the rematch he just has to dig the body which is possible if he stays close because Margarito is not very fast and stay off the ropes. I cant wait for the rematch HA HA HA. :usa2:
Nah... I think Cotto is in determination mode. He is in assassin mode. Focused and furious inside. He will be better when he returns.
I also believe he is pissed off and thinks he can do much better. I dont think we have seen the best of Cotto some crumble from a loss like that, others get stronger. Cotto will be back and stronger than ever. Sad article though, peace out.
Miguel lost more than his title, his 0, and the fight......he lost a peice of his soul:frown: this is a tough, brutal, unforgiving sport......A peice of Miguel was left in Vegas on July 26.....he can't get it back. I like Cotto, but if these things are true......he's done!:frown: I call this the Meldrick Taylor syndrom......if there was a fight that Cotto-Marg resembled, then it had to be Chavez-Taylor I.....that fight ruined Meldrick.:sad2:
This is exactly what i siad!!

Cotto has to remember that Margarito is not unbeatable, who was the person that swelled margaritos eyes up so bad? It was cotto, no one in boxing has ever done what cotto did to margs face. You could barely see margarito's eyes, thats how swelled up they were. :boxing:
I hope Cotto realizes that he is capable of beating margarito and in the rematch he shows it. :boxing:
Cotto went home with a bloody face, Margarito went home with his eyes swollen shut.

Regardless if the rumors are true: If he can't get over a lose than he shouldn't be a boxer. Get over it and get rid of those corny ass mooching friends of yours. The entire 24/7 was whack because of their transparency. He should take his Baby mamma and the kids and move far from those losers
That wasn't 24/7, that was a countdown.
