    Do you think Margarito beat Cotto out of prime?

    i mean Cotto looked Okay last night at best. He didn't look like the Cotto that was against Judah, Mosley, and the first 6 rounds of Margarito.

    The Margarito/Cotto fight could be like Chavez/Taylor that happen almost 15+ years ago.
    Remember Meldrick Taylor was prime/fast/had good power, and Chavez was the Warrior who let you land a couple Punches to get you with that one punch that could send you to sleep.
    All im saying is that Cotto looked like some of his prime was taken away from that Margarito fight. He didn't look good, and in all honesty, i think Pacquiao would have beaten him last night.

    They must have him training wrong or somthing, but they need to get it straight quick because He is going to go in with the Bigger Lions soon, (Even tho Clottey is underrated)) Hopefully he gets it straight and it was just Clottey stylte.

    Clottey is a bad motha****a. He gets some of the cred for Cotto not lookin strong. Gotta see how Cotto looks in his next fight against a good opponent before I label him as past it. Too early to be sayin that **** imo.

      He was fighting with one eye and Clottey has great defence. Don't take to much away from how he looked.

        So Cotto is Mike Tyson. Prime years about 2-4 years and then a great fallout?

          Yea I give a lot of credit to Clottey for Cotto looking sub standard from what we've seen from Cotto in the past. To me this fight was supposed to show where Cotto is after the Marg loss but to be honest I still don't know.

            I don't think Cotto is passed it. He's still young. He didn't look amazing last night because Clottey is a really good fighter. Clottey just gave the fight away. I had him winning rounds 7-10 easily. I he kept up what he was doing he woulda won the whole rest of the fight, and actually had a reason to complain. But he didn't and Cotto had a ****ed up eye and couldn't see right hands. So hopefully he forgets about pac, rests up and either rematches Clottey or Mosely.

                true, most people didn't know who Clottey was before this fight, now they know.

                  i dont think he should fight Pac yet, i think he should fight somebody Like Berto or Rematch Clottey. I think he needs one more fight before he gets back in there, like another confidence match. Not like Jennings tho, like somebody who is pretty good, but not a prize fighter. you know?

                    I think both Cotto and Margs will never be the same. They fought beyond their limits in that fight.
