Everyone landed a lot on Margarito. Plus he's been at 147 since he was like 16. Add in all the countless wars and you have to guess that he was bound to slow down. Actually, he'd already started slowing before the Cotto fight. But he took a LOT of punches in that one. Too many, whether he walked through them or not.

According to Doug Fischer, a Southern California-based reporter, he was:
During his camp for Shane Mosley he was getting his ass kicked on a daily basis by a novice junior welterweight and a young journeymen. These kids (Said El-Harrak and Henry Mitchell) weren’t just outboxing Margarito. They were slapping the s__t out of him. I’d seen Margarito go toe-to-toe with strong middleweights in the gym for years and he usually got the better of the bigger men. But, suddenly, he was no longer able to stand his ground and take the punishment he once did. http://www.ringtv.com/blog/1367/dougies_monday_mailbag/Comment

I've been saying this for a while now. Cotto and Margarito pretty much ended each other's careers on July 26th, 2008.Comment

Well, he was eating Mosleys shots for a while.
Maybe Cotto did a bit more damage then anyone thought.
But we all now Margarito ruined Cotto, I bet Cotto still has flashbacks of that night.
We saw the Cotto who was scared to death from Margarito in the Clottey fight briefly, and he appeared once again for the last few rounds in the Pac fight. Cotto is finished.Comment
