cotto:"a loss is a loss"

"A loss is a loss," said Cotto. "Nobody knows for sure if he uses it (heavier wraps) with me or not, just Margarito and his team.

"But it makes me feel better about the loss. Boxing fans are knowledgeable. They are the judges."

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has said that a fighter's first defeat is the toughest to recover from, but Cotto countered: "Why don't you ask Manny that question because he has had three losses - I have had just one.

"My commitment is with myself. In my last fight I could have stopped the fight (because of the cut) but I decided to stay in the ring because of my commitment to myself and my family.

"Sometimes when you lose, you win. Since Margarito great things have come to my career. Where is Margarito right now and where is Miguel Cotto.

"I'm preparing for 12 rounds and nobody is going to know what will happen until the night of the 14th.

"It is the most important fight of my career, but we'll have to see on the 14th if he is the toughest guy I have fought in my career.

"Manny looked good against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, but I'm not Oscar or Hatton. Manny chose the right time to fight Oscar."

Cotto said he is focusing on this 145-pound bout and doesn't listen to talk about Pacquiao (49-3-2, 27 KOs) possibly fighting Floyd Mayweather in a mega title fight if he beats Cotto.

"He can fight Mayweather as many times as he wants after I beat him," Cotto said.

 

Didn't read past "A Loss Is A Loss" that's real talk he could have stopped right there.

so true

 

not sure on the source i jus look at dis blog website dey got about dis fight everyday since da fights been made

 

Obviously Manny has overcome his first loss....and has been in wars since. What was the point of even going down that road?
the point of going down dat road is because roach was talkng bout cotto sayins its hard to come bak from a loss and he said well ask manny that he has 3 of them
