    Lets give Cotto the respect he deserves

    He is a warrior. He fought hard and he was undefeated. He was a valiant opponent who gave it all. He was just the lesser man tonight and came up short. No shame in losing to the Tijuana Tornado. He is the most feared man in boxing for a reason

    I've always known Cotto was highly overrated. I'd say even Fernando Vargas was a better fighter than him. Look at Cotto's opponents, he has fought only bums, and even against those bums he got wobbled in almost every fight, his chin is made of weak glass.

      Margarito has a good chin. Cotto did all he can to win the fight but just came up short.

      As far as being the most feared in boxing. Well Paul Williams beats him and Cotto just faced him. And if he fighs in Dela Hoya's finally, then his not the most feared fighter.

      Respect Margarito.

        lol after this fight... (that you most likely didnt even see based on your dumbass comment) you really have the balls to say that cottos chin is made of weak glass? Did you see the punishment he was taking in the 7th round??? I thought it was all over, to come back out for 3 more rounds was almost unbelieveable.

          I think Cotto will get another belt, he was just beaten by the better man tonight.

            I hope no one comes here saying that he quit because he looked like he could have been knocked out several times from the 7th round on. Instead, he threw landing flurries in retaliation every time and just ran into a man who could not be hurt. The fact that he got up from the first KD deserved props, he might have saved his career by taking that second knee.

                Lots of Respect for Cotto

                Cotto did his best tonight but as everyone says, he fell just short. I had him winning up until the championship rounds. What can you say? Margarito pressed the action and deserved the win. Cong**** to him.

                    Cotto landed huge shots the entire fight and Margarito barely flinched. Margarito lands a decent punch every once in a while and Cotto gets all dazed. Cotto's chin = fragile glass.
