    What now for Cotto?

    I know everyone wants to talk about Pac vs Floyd but my question is what now for Cotto? The loss is not waht really bothered me but the fact that he stood in front of Pac at times and was reluctant to throw. He looked like a broken fighter. his corner did not give him any advice on what to do and he seemed like he was just trying to survive rahter than win. At this point I don't even want to see a Cotto vs Mosely rematch which is what I was hoping for after thsi fight. Any ideas on where he goesr from here?....Lefty

    I really believe he needs 6-8 months to relax and come back next year. His corner(inexperience) did a HORRIBLE job and i'm not saying he would've beaten Pacquiao with a better trainer but at least a decision. I feel he should fight Cintron or winner of Mosley/Pacquiao. Cotto is 29 yrs old and there are plenty of VERY GOOD boxers who have lost and come back. He can do it with rest and new corner.

      COTTO should fight again with a new trainor, The best if he would try Freddie Roach i believe Fred will take him.

        Cotto needs time off..and Freddie Roach would be great for him as long as Freddie doesn't take Margarito...

        I think Cotto's got a good 2 yrs of fight in him..and he should be done..Cotto's got a lot to prove in these last 2 years..but he won't be able to if he keeps those YES MEN Santiago and Landman...
