        i kinda agree with felix. Cotto has taken alot in his career-not to mention a possible beating with bricks. Id hate to see him hurt later on.

          He still has it...He looked great before that brutal KD in the 4th round....I can see him still beating top boxers in the WW division

            He was fighting Pacquiao, an obvious freak of nature. I picked Cotto as an upset but he should fight on with a new corner.

              Nobody is writing him off because he as 2 losses, it's more the type of beating he took in those 2 loses, I think people are more concerned about his health, I still think he should fight a couple more fights but he should be ready to retire before he becomes punch drunk.

                I just think that he's not tough enough mentally, he lost that viciousness and confidence after the margo fight. He also needs a good corner..

                  I said it before this fight was even signed. Cotto is still young. He's been in a lot of wars. He should do like Mayweather jr. and take some time off. During that time he should really consider a new training team. Any elite trainer would jump at the chance to work with him. If he does comes back looking good with a couple of warm up fights, we will know right away if he's still got it. If not he can hang them up at that point.

                    Taking time off will only make it worse for Cotto. He may even eat himself into depression like Ricky Hatton. He needs a quick fight IMO. Fight a bum and then go after Hlatshwayo. Get his confidence back up. He's a warrior, he just needs people to reassure him of his elite status in the WW division.

                    I still can't believe Cotto's corner wasn't forcing him to stick with his gameplan. Nacho would've punched him harder than Manny if he would've seen Cotto fighting Manny's fight like that.

                      Exactly! He still has a lot left I mean he did better that pacs challenges of late. A lot better. Pacs improved leaps and bounds since marquez. I dont get why people are wishin him to retire now. he's still good enough to beat 95% of onyone in the division right now!!!! tell me Im wrong
