When an Elite fighter or an "A" class fighter, loses a couple of matches. He should take it down a notch to rebuild his momentum and regain control.
Take Cotto for example. Cotto was on his way up the ladder before he met Margarito. We all know that. He retained the WBO belt after fighting Sugar Shane Mosley, and Knocked Zab Judah for his resume. After the mental and physical beat down from Margarito, Cotto started to rebuild himself again. He fought Michael Jennings, who was a champion in the UK. Then went up against Joshua Clottey in a controversial decision. In both fights he sustained two deep cuts.
I think Cotto should have met with someone in the same class as Clottey, before stepping it up again. He was fresh meat for Pacquiao. Cotto gave Pacquiao too much respect. Aside from the critics, i think Cotto did his best surviving against Pacquiao. I mean, Pacquiao's decent, but i think Cotto should have had one or two more fights before stepping in the ring with "The Destroyer."
I like Cotto; I'd call myself a fan. I enjoy his style and his professionalism. i just hope it won't be too hard for Miguel to get back in the ring.
