Not right away he can't. If he were to beat Foreman and rattle off a series of wins, perhaps he'd restore his reputation to the point of being able to handle a setback. But in his next fight or 2, it's win or go home for Cotto. I have him beating Foreman, but losing to anyone else at 154.Comment

It's really simple, it was a tactical mistake for Cotto to have come in at 145 against Pacman. He should have come in at the welterweight limit of 147, paid the fine and put a hurting on Pacman with the added energy and speed he would have had. Emmanuel Steward is getting ready to look like a boxing genius now that Cotto will move up to a comfortable 154 lbs. Cotto will not have to expend much energy making weight and I see no reason why he won't have a revived career at this weight class.Comment
