Their first fight nobody knows of he used plaster or not, do I suspect he did maybe but no proves the second fight Cotto whooped his ass not Pacquiao or the Doctors. Miguel was simply the better man that night no excuses.

He employed better tactics, he didn't expend as much energy, didn't allow himself to get cornered and clinched more, he would have won had he done that in the first fight. In some instances it reminded me of Floyd-JLC II in how Castillo would try to hold Mayweather off by extending his right arm when Floyd moved, and Floyd would drag him with him, Cotto did the same exact thing. It was a great performance, Miguel did everything right...

Because he fought a smarter fight. He clinched, he turned, he kept moving laterally as opposed to straight back.
Margo was faded, yes, but so was Cotto and I think if Cotto fought with that strategy the first fight he would have won. He fought like an idiot and was still pretty much even through 10 in the first fight.
