let's be serious... cotto was always vulnerable and margo was always slow. neither took anything out of the other.Comment

Are you sure about that?
To me it looked like the once confident superstar Cotto had his will broken and then walked all over. That's what that fight looked like to me.

Yeah It's kinda shisty fer picking ****ed up fighters as opposed to calling it... they'll take advantage of it.... but then I guess that's boxing... :/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.Comment

it wasn't margo's power that lost cotto the fight, it was a poor gameplan and lack of stamina... therefore, cotto didn't lose anything. he was always vulnerable.
his will was broken, but that's because he thought he was invincible going into the margo fight. trust me, its better than cotto knows he is vulnerable so that he can develop a game plan that accounts for his poor stamina and lack of defense.
cotto is gonna have to do what wlad is doing... box a certain way so that he doesn't gas.Comment
