Cotto needs to hang them up.

[Pullcounter]

First of all I want to congratulate manny and the philippines on a great victory!

After witnessing the complete dominance of pac over cotto y have to say that cotto should hang them up. Many people including roach said that cotto was damaged goods and I refused to believe them. But I am convince now that he indeed is damage goods..

I am not taking anything away from manny, even if cotto was not damaged goods manny could have beat him. He has grown very well into the WW/ jrWW division.

Manny has proven to have a solid chin against one of the hardest hitters no question about it and, when cotto said that he was hurt by shots he did not see that was good enough for me to believe what others have been saying.

These are the reasons why I say cotto should hang them up.

He is a good boxer, but when you are spitting blood by the sixth round because your nose has been broken you cannot win any fights. I said it in a post before that if manny breaks cotto's nose manny will win and that is exactly what happend.

Damaged goods indeed, any high volume puncher would break his nose and most likely end up in a loss. I am afraid he will end his career in a similar fashion as benitez...I believe that fighters such as collazo, mosley, even berto and margarito would have a chance to beat cotto.

It was too bad that he said he will continue boxing it actually made me sad. Good luck to him.

cotto can come back, he just needs a new trainer... that said...

EAT IT COTTO STANS!!!! ! SUCK IT!!! SWALLOW IT!!!!

NEXT TIME DON'T TALK SO MUCH BULL****!!!! MUTHA****AAAS!!!!!

It's hard to say. He should do like Hatton and just take some time off. See where his mind and body are in six months. Cotto is still one of the greatest in the world after all!

If he is gonna retire, I think he should only after fighting Margarito again. That would be a great way to close out his career.

[Beater_of_ass]

He shouldn't retire, he has 2 losses, one to the best fighter in that past 20 years AT LEAST, and the other to a guy with loaded gloves. That being said he needs to take a long layoff, a year or so. In that time he needs to restructure his corner and find a new trainer, either get his uncle back or Emmanuel Steward or someone with a lot of experience. I still think he can beat any WW out there if heals his body up and gets a corner that can teach and guide him more and not let him run the show. He did great till that 2nd knockdown, but after that it was the Marg fight all over again, and the only way I see him getting what he lost is a win over Marg, if he can do it. Marg really beat something out of Cotto and might have ruined what could have been a great great career.

Cotto isn't done yet man, dont jump the gun, he was beating by the p4p king of this era, people need to realise Cotto just couldn't cut it against pac.

I'm a big Cotto fan but after watching this fight, I can honestly say that Cotto was either overhyped or because I wanted him to do well so badly that I was blind to the fact that he may actually be overrated. Cotto shouldn't be labeled as one of the great Puerto Rican Champions. Looking at his fight resume he hasn't earned that label and isn't on that level. I'm sorry to have to admit this, but he also doesn't show that warrior mentality in the ring that the great ones show and kind of shows that his mental makeup can be broken by absorbing some punishment in the ring. That said, I support and want nothing but the best for Cotto and am still a big fan of his.

As for Manny Pac, I have to also admit that I underestimated Pacman and can now admit and acknowledge that Pacman is and should go down as one of the greatest boxing champions of ALL TIME. I too am looking forward to the Mayweather/Pacman match and feel that Pacman will win- and going by the boxing resume, heart and styles feel he is the better fighter of the two. Mayweather MAY be the more skillfull, tactical fighter of the two but hasn't done what Pacman has done (fighting and beating the best of the best). Pacman has EARNED his label as the best pound for pound fighter in the universe and after last night has cemented his legacy in boxing history (something that Mayweather has yet to do). Props to Manny Pacman Pacquiao.

cotto only lost twice..............

cotto only lost twice..............

Cotto took a hellava beating in those losses though. He also got hit way too much in his win against Clottey. I'm pretty sure he'll continue but let's face it boxing is not a healthy sport. It's not about how many losses you have but the punishment you take. When you get beat up like this TWICE you should really think about what you wanna do with your career. I mean, Cotto is a family man...he's married with children so it's not only about him and as far as money he's already rich so he'd be fine if he decides to hang them up.


I'm sure from a physical standpoint Cotto has a few more fights in him but I can't see him put on performances like he did before the Margarito fight. Cotto is an entertaining fighter who always gives his all in the ring so I wish him all the best in the future. Whatever he decides to do he should definitely take a LONG vacation spend some time with his family and not think about boxing for awhile.

I think he's done.

Cotto will fight a return match @ MSG vs Andre berto after Berto gets beat up by Mosley...

it makes sense...

Well at least you finally came out and said how you really feel, instead of being a lil biatch always beating around the bush. Good job.
Next time just say how you feel and stop being so fake.
