Teddy Atlas was right, Cotto lost his heart and punch resistance.

@ anybody who thought Cotto ever had great punch resistance.

[Glamour Puss]

the plaster got really hard in the later rounds

Packy's roids kicked in the the 4th round.

I'll say it for you.

He looked weight drained. He was pale and gaunt and had no meat on him.

Without his meat, he was dead meat.

Know what I mean?

that's ******, cotto looked the same as he always does.

Mayweather looked bigger then Cotto in his last fight imo, sick of this warrior BS i keep hearing about Cotto though, He ran from 4 rounds in..

Chop Chop, Torres gave Cotto a beating and Cotto would recover, only to come back and destroy. Also, Cotto's punches still had alot of steam even when Margarito stopped him. That's what Cotto is known for, coming back. Mentally, Cotto isn't right in the head and that has alot to do with Margarito. He should take a vacation and face 2-3 tune ups; build his confidence. He isn't done and I do believe he can recover from all this. No shame in losing to Pacquiao.

In effect he was shot. I was fooled by the 24/7 hype, but after seeing the fight 3 times since Saturday night, its clear Cotto was shot.

He was the easiest pickings at WW, had a belt and was forced to fight at a cw. Which clearly affected him. He looked much stronger against Clottey in the upper body. In this fight he looked skinny.

His punch resistance was gone too. Judah, Tony, Mosley all caught him w/ real hard shots, but in those fights Cotto always fought to the death and didn't lose his courage.

In this fight, he gets clipped in the 4th and he basically stops fighting from then on.

No punch resistance, his heart and belief in himself gone from past fights, and a catchweight that had him cut too much weight and overtrain and you get another Packy win clouded with su****ion.

It is what it is I guess.

Cotto's team shouldve fought harder for better terms,, but I guess they knew their guy was done and just wanted to cash him out.

Sad really.

Say what you want about Floyds team, but they won't put up w/ this stuff. No catch weights, no diamond belts, no weird terms.

And while Floyd may be a jackass as a person, his skills are the truth.

Still not buying the Packy hype. Too many carefully selected opponents, w/ catchweights, and dubious terms.

Plus he lost to JMM 2x.

War Floyd.

I don't think Cotto lost his heart, but I think we've seen the best Miguel Cotto we'll ever see. I mean, you gotta always expect the unexpected in Boxing, but I don't think he'll be at that top level again. I do think he needs a new trainer, but in the end...how much is that going to do this far in your career and after taking a beating in 3 brutal fights? Mosley was able to do it, but Mosley was never really beaten the **** out of like Cotto has.

I suspect Cotto vs Marg II will happen, but if he loses that fight he definitely needs to hang them up. Being a fan of the dude, I'd hate to see him become a gate keeper of the division, he's better than that.

@ anybody who thought Cotto ever had great punch resistance.

torres is a hard puncher, and Cotto got up and kept fighting. In this fight, he got up and started running.

@ anybody who thought Cotto ever had great punch resistance.

That was at 140. Cotto's chin at 147 was alot better.

[Glamour Puss]

that's ******, cotto looked the same as he always does.

He was much more beefy in the Clottey fight.

Yeah, I disagree. His attitude has changed, in the past, he could take it and always came back vicious. In the Clottey fight he had that look on his face of just wanting to survive and in this fight, it was even more pronounced.

He doesn't look like he wants it anymore.

[nujabes77]

he got hit by bricks for 11 rounds... dude is inhuman
