I feel hurt because cotto was my idol and still my idol but objectively I don't even know if he can beat marquez anymore..
he is done. the only way he became Top boxer again is hire a good trainer(like Floyd sr. or freddie roach) and train harder and faster but..I doubt it would work...
anyway I'm always supporting him not only in the ring but also out of the ring.he still my idol.
No ,cotto is still a good fighter ,he wasn't evenly matched up.cotto is too slow and flat footed ,if he would;ve stop back pedaling so much he wouldn't tire so fast
cotto vs jmm or hatton is still a great fight
styles make fights

dont lose faith in your fighter homie. fukk that, cotto will rebuild himself and fukk up most of the ww you watch.
After 2 losses Miguel Cotto SHOULD NOT retire... Gtfo with these pointless threads
i totally agree with you man. But Cotto needs to recollect himself. He's definitely not at the point where he should retire. He's at the point where he needs a rebirth

cotto;s problem is as atlas put it "damaged goods" I refused to believe that until the fight.. i don't think its mental I definitely think is physical.... other fighters might suffer a broken nose but I have never seen some ones nose bleed as much as cotto's... simply put... you break cotto's nose (margarito did it), he starts to bleed and can't breathe properly and therefore he can't hit as a hard. he was already spitting blood by the sixth round. manny definitely convinced me that is cotto's weakness now.
clotty was not a high volume puncher and that is why you did not see blood coming out and cotto spitting blood. but if he was the same thing would have happend to cotto. if cotto faces a high volume fighter with decent strength the same thing will happen. Thats my take on it.
margo definitely hurt him beyond remedy and recovery..
by the way, I am not saying that manny would have lost, all i am saying is that the fight would have been more competitive and woujld have lived up to what most fans though it would have been a 50/50 fight.

I hear you. To be honest Cotto is one of my favorites and I hope for his sake your right. Because If your right he can still continue to have a great career with a better trainer and some defense work. But if I am right then his career is over. No one will help his mind.
I think everyone even the Pac fans wish the fight was more on even terms, because it clears up all doubts(they might not admit but I think they feel it inside). If Pac beat Cotto at 147, there are no doubts and all questions answered. Even they have to admit this "creating belts" is crap and losing your 147 belt at 145 is even worse. I think Cotto fights Hatton in a year or so and wins a tough fight.

I really love section8studios throwback figher sig...damn. i got goose bumps..

You know what ? I think your right. The only thing left for Cotto to do is get a TOP trainer and adjust his boxing skills a bit, work on the defense too. I think he is Done with "warring" he can no longer go to war. I hope his mentality is not totally gone.

i was also thinking there might be surgery to remove all the scar tissue he has in his nasal cavity. but unless someone tells him hey you can get that fixed then that will continue to be his weakness. WAR COTTO! LOL
good post thx
this is what i think

Cotto is fine dont worry about him. He just couldnt deal with the speed and angles. He is still easily top 10 in the WW division. Dont write him off just because he lost to a ATG.
cotto can continue his career... he just fought a top 10 ATG last saturday.
he needs a new trainer and 2-3 tune ups.
having said that....
2~3..less..need more that..

UGH!!! SUCK ON IT COTTO STANS!!! BUKKAKE ON ALL YOUR FUKKIN FACES!!!! NEXT TIME DON'T TALK SO MUCH BULLSHIT AND DON'T COMPLAIN SO MUCH!!! ARGH SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET!!!!
Dont think he should, I think 2 more fights for him and he could hang them up.
He's been taking too many wars in the past 2 years itself...
Believe me, last Saturday I felt for him too...
Like something was taken from me personally
Luckily Floyd Money will redeem that..:)
oh you don't know anything about Timothy Bradley ...he would beat cotto and hatton at 140 so that's not a winnable match at all.and Vyacheslav Senchenko ...yep he is a bum..
I don't mean Hatton would be a favorite over Bradley, i mean it is possible he can beat him.
My opinion is that Hatton and Cotto should be allowed to test themselves at Title level (not p4p) If they want to.
example :
Ricky Hatton vs Timothy Bradley (WBO World Titleholder)
Miguel Cotto vs Vyacheslav Senchenko (WBA World Titleholder)
These are winnable fights, and i think would create interest.

I don't think he needs to retire. People overreact. He could retire, and would have nothing to be ashamed of, but lets not jump the gun.
In the Welterweight ranks, he could still face the winner of Mosley/Berto. Also, due to the fact that most of the players in 147 are not really interested in doing it, he could go and try to gather up the belts from Berto or Mosley, and see about unifying them, provided that he doesn't have to go through Manny to do such a thing.
So far, the only two types of fighters who will do this type of damage to him are Manny and Margarito. The best fighter in the world, essentially, or a guy who's bigger and may have cheated to begin with.
He doesn't have to retire and could still do some exciting/unique things.
he will never he same as fighter that he was. I don't think he could beat winner of berto/mosley
