    Actually there is a way...If you look at other fighters who have been brutalized in the manner that Cotto was more times than not they do not come back the same...

    IMO the Jennings fight won't show me anything other than the fact that Cotto can still beat inferior fighters...We won't know for sure until he faces an ELITE fighter...

      I never said he had a glass chin...I said he has had issues with his abilty to take a shot in previous fights...

        potshotting and outboxing are 2 different things imho but to each his own

              everyone reacts differently.from what I've seen of him since, he looks the same as he did before the fight.his speech is intact, and his training pace has been the same.like i said, time will tell.we'll see in his next fight.

              if you'd like cotto to be great, the only for that is for him to improve his defense.i doubt he'll improve with his uncle.

                I dont think their plan was to pot shot at first. Cotto said he feels quicker with 8 oz. gloves, and obviously speed is key when fighting Marg. They shouldnt be fighting with 10 oz. gloves at 147 anyway.

                  By no means did Cotto "potshot" Margarito. Margo's face didn't get like that from "potshots".

                    His main flaw was not clinching, and he said himself he doesn't like to clinch. It's as if he thinks it's unsportsmanlike. I think blaming Evangelista is too easy.
