He did take some heavy shots in that fight and I'm assuming he'll be taking a lot more against Marquez...so I would think too his career span won't be too long after this...
But then again there's guys like Holyfield who have been in wars and still did big things afterwards...

Oh and to the other poster I dont think the Vernon Forrest -Shane fight applies (imo). He didnt look the same because he went through quite the gauntlet and moved up to 154! His next opponents were something like Oscar, Vargas x 2 and Winky wright x 2, And I think Luis Collazo when he moved down. You could argue (some feel he edged Cotto and he was past prime at this point) wonevery fight once back down to welter up until after he fought Marg.
Point being, after Forrest it was about (Id have to boxrec it excuse me if Im wrong) 5 or 6 years before he was back where he was supposed to be at Welter...but that kind of time put him out of his prime. Forrest just had his number and he foolishly moved up after.

"He was concussed early and was out on his feet several more times in the fight. Now, you're telling me that's something to be concerned about?"

Not to mention Cotto didn't look good against Clottey before he fought Manny and didn't really look to great against Foreman. It took time for Cotto to rebuild.
He even mentioned it month after the fight in interviews
