Miguel Cotto: 'I lost the love for boxing in the past 3 or 4 years'

When you get your ass beat, naturally you lose your love for it.

 

Buddy MgGirt would pull Cotto out after 1 round. "You're taking too much punishment baby!"

 

That and it just makes you question yourself as a fighter and depresses you.

"Ya gotta pop that jab baby! Miguel! Miguel! Ya gotta do something baby or Ima stop this fight!!"

 

Cotto's finished...

 

yeah i agree. yo homie i remember that anti backpack movement album haha. I used to think FT was gonna be one of the illest man. dude was nice with it. love the nature track. bad news is too ill.

 

With some more discipline, Cotto probably could still be fighting at 140 right now. He has been poorly managed the last couple of years.

 

if this is true then it means the success made him soft.

 

I think its says a lot about what's been happening to his demeanor in his most recent fights. Wraps or no Wraps, this is probably a result and/or cause of his decline. I'm glad he's making the positive changes and making the apt consideration of continuing if his heart is in it.

 

not just that, they put him in with zab judah and shane mosley (tough fights) and then they gave him someone super easy (gomez), and then go onto another very tough fight in margo, the easy fights gave him false confidence going into big fights.

 

If Steward and Cotto proves to be a great combination and Cotto beats Foreman for the title, his love for boxing will re-emerge. Winning cures whatever ails a fighter.

 

benny where'd you get it from?

 

there's a good article on the scene of boxing where steward talks about how cotto cant lose anymore and what he plans on doing with him etc etc, check it out.
