    So Cotto lost, but gave an admirable display of abilities, but until the end he just fatigued and Margarito took the best of him, but members here are laughing at Cotto, disrespecting him and his fans. But after all I am still here beside my fighter and he is still the champion in my eyes and will always be since I am a true fan that will always root for him and I'm sure there are many more that feel the same way. So let's show respect and support to Cotto since he lost fighting the best unlike some fighters who only fought hand picked fighters (not saying any names except *cough* Mayweather *cough*). I'm sure he'll bounce back win a rematch against Margarito and will beat the best of the division again.
    if you can't respect floyd why should anyone respect cotto?

      Completley agree. With someone like Mayweather you have to use your imagination to describe how he could beat Cotto but with Margarito u just have to watch the tape. No shame in loosing to the best especially when you help make it suc a great fight

        People are jumping off the wagon already. Fighters have good and bad nights. It was a bad night for Cotto. Margarito was the better man. Now everyone stop those damn exposed threads. Cotto is still a very good fighter and can bounce back with a better game plan

          He's not the champ anymore, not in your eyes or any other eyes. He gets my respect for putting up a great fight and boxing great for 8 rounds or so.

          The one thing I have to say I lost a little respect for was the way he kneeled and quit. a true warrior get's KO'd not allows his corner to bail him out.

          Cotto doesn't want a rematch because there's nothing he can do differently than the first fight to change the outcome.

            Because Mayweather didn't fight the best, he fought hand picked fighters in the last part of his career, I have respect to Mayweather when he was at 130 and 135 after that he just fought Hand picked fighters, lost my respect for him but if he stands up and fights either of these men then win or lose I'll show respect for him.

              Cotto has all my respect he got in with a bigger stronger man and fought like a true warrior till he had no more.

                arum guided floyd from 130 to 147... arum guided cotto's career from 140 to 147. cotto's opponents were just about as handpicked as floyd's.

                cotto was never forced by arum to fight a guy that could bring it 12 round all out like margarito. that's why cotto lost. cotto needed to fight a guy like margarito but with less power.

                      no you dont, otherwise you wouldn't have said all that ****. nobody needs you to sit here and call cotto overrated and call his career a myth. the guy has been fighting at the highest level for years now and just left everything he had in the ring against a better opponent. just enjoy what you saw and let it rest.
