    What does a loss mean for Cotto?

    If he loses to a much, much smaller man will he still be considered an elite world class guy? Or will he be on the first train to palookaville?

    Does the way he lose impact your decision? If its a close decision or whether he gets ktfo Hatton style?

    Hmmm???

    That would mean that the Magarito beating did irreversible damage. If Cotto can't beat a blown up lightweight at a near weltereight limit, then he needs to hang up his gloves.

      That a Margarito rematch would be the biggest fight left in his career.

        In that regard, I hope Packy wins.

        We need Cotto/Margarito 2.

          I've wanted the fight ever since Margarito was exposed...
          Floyd/Cotto would be even better, though.

            Exposed for being a great figher and family man? Floyd Cotto would suck. I think Floyd just runs away from him for 12 rounds and tries to spoil.

            BTW, whats it like living on David Haye's pleasure island?

              Yeah because it is so bad to lose to 2 elite fighters ,****** ass logic , All this **** about boxing is in a decline , is diyng , Fans are killing this **** , back in the days , mofos with 50+ fights , 10+ championship defenses ,30+ battles , and they kept fighting and and making competitive fights against each other. Wtf Cotto has only has 2 real battles , He has dominated the rest of his opponents for the most part , If he losses to Manny , you cant take credit from Cotto , Cuz in a way ur taking it from Pac Too , Pac is Great Cotto is Great , all these fans talking like they know , is easy to talk , anyone can sit in front of a screen and talk all that **** . Cotto is going up against the best wtf do you expect , he is only human , he aint invincible , he got plenty left , Look at B-hop , Look at R.Jones , Campas , For gods sake , look at De la Hoya!!! Cotto has plenty in the tank he is going against the p4p king , and he actually has a good chance to win , If he loses it would only be to the best fighter in the planet in this moment. You cant take any credit from him for steping up and taking the challenge.

                Losing to a great small man should never be considered the first step to palookaville. Of course the way he loses - if he does lose - impacts the decision. If he loses like de la Hoya the question would be more: Is Pac really THAT good!? rather than: Does Cotto suck?

                If he loses like Hatton, yeah Cotto's rep will be in big trouble. He'll have to have some monster wins, or at least a string of victories over top fighters to get his rep back.

                Now if it was a Hearns-Hagler war for 3 rounds with Cotto getting KTFO he builds his rep as a warrior and his all-time status will be decided by his following fights.

                  I'd favour Floyd to get the win, but he needs to step in the ring with a prime WW first

                  David's Island is a thing of beauty, just like it's owner
                  No ****.

                    cotto has no business losing to a former 106 lber... if he loses it means he should quit boxing.
