He did a lot of fighting with his back on the ropes.
This worked while he still had his energy in the earlier rounds, but as he slowed down a bit in the second half of the fight, he was taking more punches.
He should instead try to keep it in the center of the ring as much as possible.
I don't think it had as much to do with his gameplan as it did his physical and mental condition. He was physically and mentally broken down.Comment

Come in fully conditioned for a 15 rounder Stay in the middle of the ring, dont worry about Knocking out Margarito cause its not happening. try to work the body move in and out and win an easy unanimous.Comment

Cotto appeared to start well, but significant damage was inflicted as early as the 2nd round. And although the majority of early rounds were Cotto's, Tony gained a perceptible increment more success and rhythm with each that passed.
So...figuring ways to hit Margarito without then backpedalling and making prey of himself, being worn down by expending too much energy on evasion tactics that aren't fully effective. Tying Tony up combined with economical but effective movement in the center of the ring has to be part of Cotto's gameplan. And not worrying about what it looks like, since you already gave fans a pretty fight first time round.Comment
