I agree. The Margarito fight is all but questionable. Were it not for one shot that caught him in the 7th (and somehow busted his nose, despite Margs never showing that level of power before), Cotto was winning that fight handily.
Against Pac, who is the world's best fighter, Cotto just had a poor gameplan after the knockdown (the 2nd one, because the first was more of a balance thing). He needed to continue pressuring Pac, as even Manny said after that Cotto's bodywork was painful. He could have worn the little guy out and made for an epic ending.
Cotto isn't shot. He's one of the best WW's of the decade (00-09, or 01-10, however you spin it), and has a great chance in this fight.
