I Feel Cotto Has Never Looked The Same After Margarito!

[BigStereotype]

Get the **** out of here, his head looked like a ****ing piñata after fight.

No way. His eyes were puffy, but he wasn't really that much worse for wear. Cotto looked like a pizza, plaster or no (and I don't think Marg had it for that fight).

Yeah the Margarito beating was so bad that he didn't feel it till after he clobbered Jennings into dog**** and looked good doing it.


*** you people are dumb!!!

Pac must of almost killed him as well .

So if I get in the ring with Morales and he whips my ass, that must mean he's back to form, right?

I've been saying cotto would be better served by taking an extended rest. Is that 3 out of five? tough ass fights w margs, clottey n pac. The body needs time to heal

Are you really comparing yourself to a Professional boxer with a 36-2 record?

Seriously?

Duh. What are you ******ed, I'll whip an ass.

EDIT: And if you're serious, I'll put it another way. If Shane Mosley fights Victor Ortiz coming up in weight and knocks his ass out, does that mean he's back to form?

I disagree. I thought he beat Clottey despite a pretty bad cut above the eye that was the result of a headbutt. You look at pre-Margo Cotto and you see him almost getting knocked out by Ricardo Torres, getting put on ***** street by Zab Judah, and looking just as gassed against Mosley than against Clottey, even without the cut.

Cotto is the same today than he was before. Pac is just a different type of animal. Cotto is not as bad as he looked against Pac and neither is Clottey.

I remember rewatching Pac and Cotto fight tapes before they fought and the fight that convinced me to put my money on Pac against Cotto was Cotto vs Judah.

Great post.

Especially the part about Cotto being the same as before.

He was getting hit before Margarito, just as he was getting rocked and put down before Margarito. The difference is, Margarito was bigger and stronger than any of his previous opponents with an incredible chin who was able to take Miguels best and keep coming forward.

[pennywise]

Watching Miguel pre Margarito fight. And he just looked so good.

Crisp, Powerfull, Strong.

But post Margarito, he just hasnt looked like the same fighter. Struggling and just about beating Clottey and getting stopped by Manny. I think that Margarito fight took something deep out of him, that he could never get back.

A pre Marg, Cotto, easy beats Clottey and may even beat Pac.

Sad I feel he is past his best.......

Thoughts?

Margarito beat him up made him kneel and took his auroa of invincibility/soul away cotto will never be the same..the cotto that walked into the ring was a beast(so confident)...tony was a terminator that night no1 was going to stop him from achieving victory that night walked thru anything cotto threw at him..oh and the pacquiao beating aint gunna help him out either..

[Dan...]

Cotto's decline post-Margarito has been greatly overhyped, but there is no doubt Margs took a fair bit out of him.

Still, any Welter that can come out and beat Joshua Clottey belongs in the top strata of the division. I LOL at people that claim Pacquiao beat a "shot" Cotto. Not even close to shot, not even ballpark.
