    Well we'll never know unless he gets in the ring at proves that he is or isn't the same...and that won't show up for a couple of years anyway. But just looking at his body he doesn't look like a hard ass dude who could take a beating like that and not have some long term health problems if he keeps it up.

    I mean **** he'll be back. Might even do something crazy like try to get a rematch or something. But if I was advising him I'd say if you got the money, call it a day you just don't take punishment well.

    Cotto has always said he's not a boxing fan and he doesn't care about the sport aside from his own participation. I won't be at all surprised if he walks away.

    It's amazing how losing can seriously affect a guy's standing.

    God knows what this page is going to be like when Pavlik gets schooled by somebody over the next 12 months!

    Cotto put up a great fight, but Tony was not to be denied - perhaps the tactics were a bit iffy but you have to give credit to Margarito. Any other welterweight would have been KO'd after 6 rounds by those punches, yet he was walking forward throughout.

    I would say Margarito has the chin of a light heavyweight.

    Cotto will be back, in interviews I read with Cotto, I was able to read inbetween the lines that yes he admired Tito but did'nt want to be like him in the sense that he quit after one loss so all in all Cotto will be back and maybe even better in some aspects.

    People are saying clearly no, but i think his resume of now is better than Hatton's whom people are saying borderline yes.
