'Pre Margarito' Miguel Cotto vs 'Post Margarito' Miguel Cotto

[Lechero]

The biggest thing I found out after watching pre and post Cotto's is the he sorts of stops fighting when is really going bad for him. Is like he has a voice in head that gives him doubt on his abilitys and he just want to survive because his mind just gives up on him. We all know in boxing you got to be right in the head and you got to have confidence in yourself, Cotto lost that in the Margarito cheating. Old Cotto was not like that. In the Torres fight he got rocked with some hard punches, he got KD but he got up and still kept going at Torres until he stop him.

Another point that proves lack of confidence and lack of mentral strenght since the Margarito fight is that he doesn't throw his punches with the same killer instict he did in the past. Is like his mind tells him "So many guys took your punches you know this guy will. Why spend all this energy?" Old Cotto made every punch count but the Cotto we seen lately likes to waste punches that go with no power and just land on the gloves of his opponents.

Both take knees due to gassing after running away from each other.

I am actually a Pacquiao fan. And no one is making excuses this are just facts that are easy to see in both versions of Cotto.

There's no proof Margarito Cheated...Margarito's style ****s on Cotto..because like you stated..he crumbles when he can't knock them out with his hardest shots and he retreats..

Cotto's biggest flaws since the Judah fight is..he doesn't use his signature shot anymore..the hook to the body..he neglects it..maybe he tried to show more versatility by beating people with out that punch and show that he has more than just a left hook..

Cotto could break anybody at 147lbs to the body..even Mosley and Margarito...but he just wouldn't shoot the shot..I know they had good defense for it..but you beat good defense with better offense..and he was suppose to show angles and manage to get that shot in a lot!...instead..he's now a head hunter trying to stun his opponents..that's not the Cotto I've known for the last few years..and it's irritating the **** outta me!

Let's be honest is easy to see Margarito cheated against him. Anyway I don't think he actually crumble in that fight (until the end) he was running from the very first round, unlike his fights with Clottey and Pacquiao were he started the fight coming foward and ended going backwards.

I agreed with the rest you said.

No proof of plaster in that fight.

Get the **** over it already.

Ok Margarito former fan boy(maybe you still his fan boy!) that still feels funny feelings about him!

It's also his opposition and whom he does this to. Boxing and retreating on the backfoot worked for Cotto against other guys and he still won, but there's a big difference between having the likes of Ndou and Abdullaev come at you and then Margarito and Pacquiao come at you.

Cotto looked like he may have been psychologically messed up from the Margarito fight as he looked mentally beaten by the 6th round.
