I really hope Cotto does not become damaged goods...

i don't mean to be a ****, but i'm about to sound like one...i apologize before hand but i'm just venting a bit as of right now.

i could care less if malignaggi was ever the same again after cotto and ngoudjo. i could care less if lacy was the same after calzaghe. but cotto?? we NEED this man in our sport for god's sake. i dunno what it is, maybe it was the way he carried himself, the way he fought, the way he acted like a silent badass which is what i've always idolized in movies since i was a kid, or the fact that he was one of the guys i was able to actually follow the career of (as opposed to seeing a fighters big recent fights and youtube the rest of them), but i felt awful seeing cotto being pummeled like that in the end. i'm filipino and i don't even think i'd feel as bad if i saw manny crumble like that and i'm being real.

again, i'm sorry for making myself sound selfish and inhumane towards the lives and well being of other brave men, but **** i'm just pissed right now, and these are just words.

I know what you mean. I like Cotto, and it was a shame to see him lose, especially like that.

I'm not sure if he can be the same when he comes back, but I hope so. I'm still a fan.

Im thinking if cotto takes time off, probably around a year or so, he will be fine. But i have a feeling he will feel the need to prove to everyone that hes still a destroyer and get in there too son and completely doubt himself everytime someone doesnt go down in the first 5 rounds. Worst case scenario, we are now looking at a future "Mike Tyson". But hopefully he takes time off and heals mental and physical wounds. Every Cotto fan will say that im a bandwagon Marg fan for saying this but, an out of his prime Mosley took it to him and he pulled a Delahoya , Margs would put him on his ass. And i was right.

I hope Cotto comes back the same, would suck if he got ****ed by this fight

Cotto is now just another used hooker, Margarito killed that

I do not believe he will recover from this. This was the kind of beatdown that ****s you up forever. He took unnecessary punches, and POWERFUL ones at that.

I wanted to see Cotto lose after he was such a **** to me, I said "good luck against Margarito" and he didn't even look at me, so I immediately wanted to see him lose, but even I was not happy with what I saw. I wouldn't wish a beating like that on ANYONE.

Cotto was undefeated and pretty much DESTROYED and badly beat up all of his previous opponents, so to have received a brutal dose of his own medicine in his first loss will more likely than not cause irreparable damage.
