After his defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto seems to find himself in the uncomfortable position of having to regroup and figure out where his career goes from here. At only 29, one would think he typically would have a few good years left, but after the wars he has been involved in that may not be the case. So what does NSB think the best option out there for Cotto is at the moment?
Personally, I think the smartest option would be to try to get the loser OR winner of Berto-Mosley in a fight next summer. If he wins, go from there...but if he lost it would probably be time to hang em up.
So you never said he shouldn't lose to a 106 pounder?
I said he had no business losing to a former 106 lber, but if it goes past 6 rounds, cotto would get sliced up, WHICH HE DID!!!
NOW ALL COTTO STANS NEEDS TO STFU AND BOW DOWN TO PACQUIAO!!!!
HOW MANY MONTHS OF BULLSHIT AND CRYING DID BOXINGSCENE FORUMS HAVE TO GO THROUGH??? HOW MANY???!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
EAT DOG SHIT FOR THAT MANY MONTHS!!!!
WRONG COTTO STANS!!! I SAID IF THE FIGHT GOES PAST 6 ROUNDS COTTO WILL GET HIS ASS KICKED!!!!
ARGH! SKEET! SKEET! SKEET! SKEET! SKEET! SKEET! ON ALL YOU COTTO BITCHES!!!!!
bwahhaahahahahahahah!!!!!!

I'm a great Cotto fan, but I think he should retire.
Did you see the way his face swelled up? Only seen that since the Margo fight.. Not sure if Margo's gloves did that.. But the way Cotto's face swells up now.. OMG.. Never seen anything like it.. He got a payday and should enjoy it. If he values his health.. He should think twice about it.. The Tony fight will always be cemented in his career.
Z Gorres is in a coma.. I wouldn't want Cotto to be in one.
Cotto is done I think. He just isn't the same fighter anymore that he once was. I think he needs sometime away from the sport... Hire a better trainer and just get a better quality corner that actually knows what there doing. Because the crew he had last night was absolutely horrible... when a fighter is taking a beating the way he was they needed to step in and stop the fight... Not let him take more punishment. They also wheren't there for him tactically either...they gave him no instructions at anytime that could have helped him change the out look of last nights fight. Bottom line is,he needs to start with his corner first and for most. Otherwise he'll never get back to being the fighter that he once was. After last nights beating, I don't know if he'll every be the same.
Hey, you were the one that said Cotto shouldn't lose to a former 106 pounder. You made the stupid ass claim dummy, all that shit you just typed is going right back to you. You never gave Manny a chance... 90% of us did, you're just making yourself look worse than you did two days ago.

Cotto needs to restructure his entire corner, maybe get his uncle back or a high quality trainer like Steward. He should also take a year off, get his body healed up, then fight Marquez, Hatton, or possibly winner of Mosley Berto. Or, he needs to fight a tune-up and get a rematch with Marg, Marg took something mentally from Cotto that night and if Cotto's even able to get it back it has to be from a Marg victory.
Agree with you on everything
I think Cotto will retire, he said that he will retire at 30 anyways (29 at the moment). But if he really wants to get back to fame he will need time to heal up and a completly new corner. Family/Friends in business dont match, I know that in boxing most trainers are the fighters dad but when they need real help they need an outsider trainer with real experience.
Get Steward for a trainer and stay away from guys that either are his size or have good stamina.
That sucks balls, if you hire Stewart you want some results and you wanna be ready to fight the best again. Cotto beat Mosley but i wonder if he can fight like that again. Maybe Pacquiao, Margarito and Clottey took everything away from him(both mentally and physically).
Take a year layoff and fight Hatton for money and gettin the confidence back. Then see what the WW landscape looks like. If impressive after Hatton fight, rematch Margarito, then if it goes well, why not a fight between him and Pacquiao VS Mayweather winner( if Floyd accepts to fight Pacquiao)?
There are a lot of if but it could only happen under a great trainer like Steward or Evangelista.
Downhill I reckon, this will be tough to come back from. Not even just this but he has gotten roughed up in his last 3 important fights and he took a bunch of punishment before those fights.
He had a good run but someone can only take so much and I have to think those things are really starting to add up.
Cotto should seriously consider training under Roach. Didnt roach say at one point eh wanted to train Miguel?
Cotto needs some time off and a real trainer.
I agree 100%. In the last 3 years he's been in the ring with Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey and now Pacman. With only 1 legit loss in there, the guy is a great fighter, but its time get the batteries recharged and change things up.

If Floyd-Pac goes through fight the winner of Berto-Mosley...
He'll probably fight some low level welterweight and then try to challenge for a different belt in the division late next year...
Maybe it is over for Cotto. I would be sad to see him retire because he is my favorite active fighter after Roy but if he can't compete on the highest level maybe it's time to go.
If it's still in his heart to fight i think he should take some time of and then go slow and build him self up before taking on a top fighter again.
