Great, now these morons are gonna be here even longer, thanks alot Miguel 
But that was the weirdest fight I have ever seen from a fighter as good as Cotto. Miguels face was swollen before round 3, he was tired by round 5, and he never made any adjustments like you saw Marquez make.
I think Miguel's intelligence in the ring is probably over-rated. His natural selection of punches got him where he is because his shots are short, quick, and hard and he always made contact. But at no point did he try to get around Manny's right hook or jab, Miguel just freaked out and rushed forward and ate punches like he was stuffin his face with giant red apples that were taped to the end of Manny's fist lol. As for him bein gassed by round 5, I think that was due to the weight, but it wouldn't even matter, Cotto had no answers. It was like Miguel didn't even train for Manny at all, it was like Cotto just got in shape, only to try and improvise his way in the ring. The little success Cotto had coming over the top of Manny's punches, and countering occasionally was there, but he was too busy getting his ass kicked to even realize what was working. And that was only in round 2 and 3 anyway. The fact Manny was just throwing lead lefts without even trying and landing by round 4 and 5 was just pathetic. Cotto was a straight punching bag and that's it.
Anyways, between the Mosley fight which was a brutal war, the Marg fight, and now this...Cotto's gonna fade to black I think. But at the same time 147 is pretty much open game now, so he might be able to make some moves. But it's crazy to see a guy as skilled as Cotto waist that talent by fighting in a big fight, the way he just fought. Just coming forward and eating shots. I'm starting to notice that alot in the sport now, guys who can fight, but all it takes is a lack of preperation and 'just like that' the dude is no more than a target, no matter how good his physical attributes are in the ring.
