Cotto or Pavlik ! Who will bounce back better ?

[The Hammer]

Cotto will bounce back and have a successful 2009!

But Pavlik will never be the same - he's ruined psychologically. He'll have nightmares about that fight for the rest of his life.

i hate questions like these.nobody knows.nobody.

Cotto will be fine.....Pavlik is RUIN.....Hopkin wrote the book on how to beat him and as long as Pavlik keeps Loew....the book will be a best seller.

He will beat the Rubio's of the world but not the Abraham, Calzaghe, Dawson & Hopkins of boxing.

[Silencers]

I think they'll both bounce back strong but I give Pavlik more of a chance to clean out his division, but that's mainly because his division is definitely not as deep as Cotto's.

But we won't know until they get back into the ring.

[Thread Stealer]

I have a feeling Pavlik will better. Cotto's supposed to have a rematch next year with Margarito, and I think Tony kicks his ass again. If not, Cotto's still in a tough division.

Pavlik can go back to 160 where not only is he more comfortable at, but no one like Hopkins there. The division is weak. He can continue beating down guys at middleweight.

Pretty good point there..I like your view..

I can't help to believe they will both be alright tho..Cotto will have a STELLAR '09 depending who he fights in Feb..

Pavlik will go back to 160...have some decent tune-ups and work his way back to the path he was leading to..STARDOM...

I hope they both learned a valuable lesson..and that's not to overlook anybody..whether they're old and slow..cuz they have heart and will!..

Pavlik.

Cotto will never be the same again

What kind of sick bastard puts a picture of a man's wife and kids crying in his sig?

Hopkins wrote the book, and he's the only one who can read it. No one has the movement and counter punching ability to work Pavlik like Hopkins did. Not at 160.

Pavlik will bounce back stronger because he doesnt have the competition Cotto has. Every one at 147 is bigger than Cotto, and it's just deeper in general. Where as Pavlik will go back to a weak division where he is the strongest/biggest fighter. Abraham is really his only challenge, and it's an even fight.

they both will be ok. pavlik is in a ****y division with only one real threat abraham. Cotto will be Ok too, he is in a thougher division but he is a good enough boxer to clear it out.

I think Pavlik. 160 Pavlik is unbeatable, his physical goods are real good. Cotto was more competitive but literally got the fight beaten out of him. Cotto looked like a beaten dog, Pavlik looked like he just took a spanking from his daddy.
