Can Miguel Cotto Bounce Back?

[S.G.]

time will tell... but i'm not sure he can

[BTL]

I say no....theres a lot of great boxers or boxers period that have lost...But cotto did not just lose he got beat...This fight reminds me of what chavez did to taylor.

Of course he cAn and will bounce back, just like Margarito did from his 5 losses and the rest of the great champions out there that have a loss on their record.
With minor adjustments he will beat Margarito in a second fight. There will be one.....maybe not right away but there will be one!

Please give me recent examples of guys who took such a devastating beating, and were able to make it back to the top.

Here are a few examples of guys who did NOT: Vargas, Lacy, Meldrick. Hell, you might even say that Hamed was emotionally ruined, if not physically.

My opinion is that Migs won't be the same. And in a rematch, he gets stopped sooner.

You may be correct, I doubt it, but I think this fight was comparable to the Vazquez Marquez bouts. Both guys took a lot of damage but both seemed to retain their skills and courage. I dont see Cotto wilting because of one tough fight. Mentally he's a tough cookie. Now whether or not he can win a rematch with Margarito and overcome those mental demons is a much more debatable subject but there is only one Antonio Margarito. Margarito's one tough son of a ***** who can take your best shots and stick to you like peanut butter on white bread. There should be no doubt he is a serious pressure cooker and if you cant punch hard enough or move well enough for the whole fight to keep him off of you your gonna get pounded.

I don't see why not. He was doing a very impressive job in his fights before margarito...just because margarito beat him doesn't mean it's all over. I even think he has potential to beat margarito in a rematch if he can implement the same strategy with a couple changes to preserve stamina and throw marg off his game.
