    After a brutal fight like the one Saturday, many fighters are never the same. So will Cotto come back stronger than ever?? Or a shell of his former self??

    I think Margarito has finished him.

    If he does come back it may well be better. Cotto was destroyed mentally, broken.

    I believe Margarito absorbed a lot of punishment as well.

    Cotto is not done at least I hope he isn't

    Cotto is a warrior. He will recover and sooner than people think.

    But it's the manner of that loss that was telling. He was beaten up and mentally broken. He took a knee after having taken a count without having taken an additional punch. He went to his knees in front of a man he feared, in the ring. It takes a very special man to come back from something like that.

    If he can do it, I belive he can beat Margarito.

    We are about to find out if he'll be the same fighter.

    The ability to come back after a big loss . . . is what's separating great fighters from good fighters.

    I honestly think . . . he'll be back with more vengeance and maybe wiser.

    Its time now to sing this song...
    Cotto is shot, he's a bum, he has no heart, he should retire etc. etc. etc.

    Those are the usual posts about a boxer who loses big.
    see
    -Roy Jones (after Tarver)
    -Evander Holyfield (before Tyson)
    -Wladimir Klitchko (after Brewster)
    -Oscar De La Hoya (after Hopkins)
    that is until they win their next fight

    NO... it was a good fight. Margarito was f*cked up too.

    Let just see if Cotto has a heart of a champ

    It depends on Cotto's mental strength. If he's insecure or a flakey character then he's ****ed. Can't see it though. He seems like a guy with a strong will.

    He's too skillful just to rot away.
