    1. Margo was too big, too hungry
    2. Cotto's training camp was for strength not for stamina
    3. Evangelista and Miguel are not in good terms
    4. Wrong strategy - Cotto should not have boxed but brawled
    5. Margo was overlooked for DLH or PBF
    6. The uppercut came in and busted Cotto's nose (needed to breathe through mouth)
    7. The uppercut came in and busted Cotto's mouth (no breathing - no legs)
    8. Teddy Atlas predicted a Cotto win
    Combine 1+6,7 and you got the right answers.

    The fans will make all the excuses in the world, but Cotto himself is an honorable guy and simply said Margarito was the better man.

    I will say this too, although he got beat up and his whiskers let him down, he showed a ton of heart in hanging in there for as long as he did. The people calling him a "quitter" are way off base. It's not his fault he doesn't have the greatest chin.

    His whiskers is fine. People are underestimating Margo's power. he took some hard shots to the head and the body for 11 rnds, if anything I think the body worked is what broke him down.

    hell Tito fell to Hopkins in the same fashion. Hopkin isn't a KO puncher, why do poeple not say Tito has glass chin. The only guy to stop Tito was Hopkins and Hopkin sin't someone known for his KO power.

    Cotto took on a known power puncher with KO power and people are calling him a glass chin. i don't get it.

    Teddy Atlas beat Cotto, not Margarito.

    Agreed, tonight the best man won, as simple as that. Both men's stock went up.

    I was right with my prediction although off a round. I said Margarito in ten but Cotto showed some heart.
