Does Cotto lack that concentration to be great?

Doesn't matter if Margarito's power is overrated or not. Bottom line is he hits than Cotto. That's pretty obvious.

Simple answer NO

Cotto should just go back to 140

no. he already is great. Tony was just greater that night :)

Fighters that drum up this talk on site are great. Fighters that give blood for their fans are great.

One loss doesn't not mean lack of concentration. He lost to a better man. Who knows what the rematch will bring. I think he will do better the 2nd time around - maybe.

Well said

i think we all know who was the more talented fighter that night cotto by far but at the end of the day he is not the great fighter alot of his fan and probly his maniger where bringing him to believe i feel cotto might have baught into the hype alittle i also feel he should have took the first couple rounds slower. i saw some post people saying cotto should have smoothered margos puches ill tell you this is what makes magro a hard man to beat he likes to fight on the inside nomatter what he does not use his reach this is y cotto wanted to stay on the outside and if u really think margo needs distance to punch you have never seen him fight before and didnt watch the fight with him and cotto to great because mago only let his hands go when he was close to cotto but for most of the fight cotto was in range for the jab and right but margo wasn't jabing or letting and lead hand rights off

I totally agree, aside from Margarito having a chin made of freakin Titanium, Cotto fought at a pace that he was not accustomed to that being having to move alot in the ring(legs).
I still believe that Cotto can and was putting some damage on Margarito just so happens that in that fight Margarito took the punches better than Miguel. A rematch is necessary IMO Cotto deserves it having able to outbox Tony for majority of the rounds.
By the way the scoring in azteca boxing or boxeo latino in Channel 7 in Cancun sucks bigtime they all had Margarito winning the 1st 5 rounds:o

I was extremely saddened that night the only consoloation was I was able to see the fight for free in the Hotel were we stayed at in Cancun. I stood proud even if I might be the only person in the Hotel cheering for Cotto that night. I'm looking forward for a rematch, Cotto will bounce back from this I'm sure. Go COTTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
