Miguel Cotto, the puerto rican star is one of the best warriors boxing has seen since Gatti, Castillo, and Corrales. He is a fighter known to fight, and will fight anyone at anytime regardless of whats in his gloves or in his system.
But at some point in your career you gotta know when to call it quits.
Cotto is a shot, damaged fighter that is one fight away from desaster. He is one fight away from being scared for life and its sad to see threads like, Cotto vs Pac or Cotto vs Berto, Mayweather, Martine etc will be good for Cotto at 154.
For those of us who study boxing knows that Foreman is not on the same caliber as any of the names listed. For example if Cotto vs Pac II does take place it will be no different this Cotto vs Pac I. 154 is only 7 lbs away from 147 and all Pac has to do is come in at 150, the same way Floyd did with Oscar. Pac will retain his speed and cotto will be heavier thus slower in exchanges with Pac.
Pac, Floyd, Berto, Martinez would turn cottos world upside down and I would hate to see Cotto end up like Roach or Ali. Cotto has the heart but his body won't let him fight on that level anymore. Cotto can continue to fight lesser opponents like foreman and I will respect him for that, but to get in the ring with a fighter other then that is complete suicide!
And being a shot fighter has nothing to do with age. Its the amount of battles youve been in. Margarito, Clottey, & Pac have taken everything from cotto except his name!
