Question, why do most people believe Cotto is done?

Its all mainly cottos fault. He was a greedy ego centric bastard. didn't want to pay his uncle. (I know there was a suit for payment of training fees). Then he fired stewart because he asked for too much money. He was training himself between trainers. Thinking he could do it himself. At least now he learned. Pay for a good trainer and keep it moving. Money follows.

Your right about the Emanuel situation but wrong about his uncle. He broke ties with his uncle because he (uncle) did not want to go to train Cotto in Orlando, they had an argument about it and it got physical. The law suit was for money's lost for the fights that immediately followed the break up because Cotto did not legally separate from his uncle (breach of contract) legally before moving on with his career.

The only two Cotto fights that matter to me as his fan are a rematch with Pac and a rematch with Floyd but not at the cost of not getting Floyd/Pac. I only care about those rematches because he is at the end of his career, I don't buy into the rejuvenated theory my belief is that he is conserving energy by not over training any more and taking long recovery breaks between fights. I believe he looses against GGG but not as easy as many people around here say. I also believe he looses against Canelo in a hard fought fight. I also feel that if he decides to keep the MW belt he needs to face his mandatory who happens to be the man everyone thinks is the best MW GGG. The rematch with Mayweather should be for glory and not the MW belt, but I understand the belt is the only reason Floyd would fight him.

I like Cotto too but imo the fights for him were Canelo and a Floyd rematch after Floyd-Pac if Floyd won. Pac fight is a non-starter. But Cotto inexplicably didn't make the Canelo fight, wtf?

I think he's more attacking under Roach, in better shape under McMillan. Whether he's truly "rejuvenated" is up for debate until he fights another live body but he looks a lot better in his last two fights.

I get what your saying but he probably only intends to fight one or two more fights which leaves no room for any fights against up and coming contenders. He is about making as much money as possible right now and he was probably waiting on Floyd/Pac negotiations to be settled. I think Floyd/Pac happens and somehow Cotto is getting a consolation prize from Haymon for stalling the Canelo fight.

fair enough, this post makes you look like a boxing fan who happens to like cotto, no different from me i guess. sorry if i thought you were just another one of cottos fanboys who just blindly defend everything he does and just overrate the hell out of him. believe it or not, im a big cotto fan too, he has entertained me with many of his fights. i think he would be the 3rd best welter right now, but i understand why he dont want to settle for that, and thats also the reason i think all the top jr middles and middleweights all beat him.

[Furn]

Its not that he's done, its that hes not a great fighter and hes not a real middleweight. Very good yes, but not great and his best years were at 140.

[ManOfVictory]

He's not done

[JoeKidd]

He would look sensational against competition he could bully. Public was fooled big time by that Martinez victory. Martinez was a lame duck.
