Cotto needs to rest for about 6 months, then fight a top ten contender, and then consider his options.
Sir, I think I speak for the majority when I say... Do you suffer from a disability known as down syndrome?
Cotto needs to take a good long rest to rehabilitate his body because he took a massive beating tonight at the hands of Antonio Margarito. That's first on the list. After that I suppose his people are likely going to give him a light touch before they step him up against quality opposition again.
rematch or challenge for the 140lb crown. anything else is taking a step back and he is too big to be taking backward steps. neither one of those fights requires a tune up fight.
He should stick with fighting the smaller welters because fighter like Margo or Williams will always be a major problem.
I see Cotto fighting the winner of Clottey and Judah for the IBF belt. As for Margarito, DLH will avoid him and he should take a rematch with Paul Williams to unify the belts !
