Miguel Cotto = Meldrick Taylor

[El Chicano]

Antonio Margarito may have sparked "Meldrick Taylor" syndrome in Miguel Cotto.

Margarito put the beatdown on him, plain and simple. It was a Chavez vs Taylor type beatdown. The effects of the beatdown were evident in his struggle with Josh Clottey. Clottey is not a hard puncher, yet he had Miguel running and trying to survive the final rounds. Cotto fought valiently, but he took a lot of shots and was at times, clearly shaken up by Clottey.

Cotto is no longer the same fighter, not since the Margarito beatdown. I think Freddie Roach sees this, and it's going to show in the Manny Pacquiao fight. Another smart move by Roach, they seen weaknesses in DLH and Hatton and I'm sure they see the effects of the beating Tony gave Cotto.

Cotto is not the same fighter anymore,but Meldrick took a lot more damage he was slurring minutes after the fight.

No it was not. Taylor suffer brain damage in that fight. So is not the same.

Roach is good at picking weight drained and damaged fighters for pac.

Does anybody know how many south-paws cotto has faced as a pro?

[Cadillac Man]

Cotto fought the same way in SSM fight. The last 3 rounds he was backpedaling an Boxing. You guys forget Cotto wasn't fighting a bum. Clottey is a top 5 Welter and he won so how is he shot?

He was slurring after the fight but i believe he picked up another belt after that.
