..yeah i'd hate to see him get the cintron syndrome.
Not ot be argumentative, but I honestly couldn't ever see Cotto get that; Cintron is a quitter. I didn't see Cotto sit down and start :eek:. I know that's rather cruel and belittling, but I can't stand Kermit and Cotto took much more punishment and gave everything he had.Quote:

Macho, that's what it talked about. I have it working now. I would like to see Cotto take some time off, maybe not even fight for the rest of the year. Then comeback with a tune up, then see where he's at.Quote:

I'd actually likt to see a Cintron/Cotto fight, a good fight to get back on his feet. A little P.R. showdown type fight. I don't want to see Cotto in with WIlliams right now. Another big guy who;s even made Margarito look small, haha. Cintron, Berto, Clottey/Judah winner; one of them to fight.Quote:

Its hard to rematch a guy that stole your soul Miguel Cotto should avoid Antonio Margarito for awhile and take on Kermit Cintron Puerto Rico vs Puerto Rico should be a good match up but i see Miguel Cotto making Kermit Cintron quit but it wouldn't surprise me if Miguel Cotto was knocked down early.
I think he should get right back in there. The fight wasn't a domination by Margarito. The only soul stealing is knowing you can't hurt the other guy, and honestly I think that's what lost the fight for Cotto. He wanted to end it by ko so he stayed in and tried for the ko on countering. He only missed the finish line by 4 minutes. He can watch the tape and make a few adjustments and still win. The question is will Cotto be willing to try to win without ko'ing his opponent. If he goes for that strategy Margarito is very beatable, trying to ko him though is doubtful......
4 minutes can be like a lifetime in boxing you should know better.Quote:

I think Juddah is the best option for him if Juddah can win the title, if Juddah does not theres really no point in it.
Cotto needs to avoid at all costs anyone who is a bigger puncher or taller man, namely: Cintron, Williams, and Berto.
He needs a smaller more defensive guy get a couple of those under his belt and then maybe start with Cintron as he would be the easiest and most marketable of those three fights
If Berto even thinks it's open season on Cotto after seeing him lose to Margarito, he's making a BIG mistake. Cotto would have Berto for lunch.

Well-l-l-l.... maybe an Alfonso Gomez before Berto. But once he was all the way back, he'd still have Berto for lunch.Quote:

;D
I believe De La Hoya might be a good option for Cotto to come back. He will retire De La Hoya and make big money. This may be a good way to get his confidence back, and prepare for a rematch with Margarito, if he wants. If both of them remain at 147 I believe that rematch will be unavoidable...
In rematches the guy with the greater skills wins about 80% of the time. He uses his skills to outbox the other guy instead of getting involved in a fight. So we've already seen the rematch. Cotto went backwards and used his boxing skills from the first bell and he still got stopped. The rematch would be no different.
I think Cotto should take 6 months off and comeback with a warm up fight early next year, regain lost confidence and challenge Margo about April/May 2009

Now you're talkin my language. But, at least someone who can defend themselves. Putting him in with a Gomez would be bad ala Boom Boom Mancini who was never the same after he killed that boxer. Cotto is gonna come back with ferocity and we need someone who can at least defend but give him his confidence.
if cotto fights margarito again the results will be the same, but worst! Cotto was hitting him with everything he had and Toni walked right through. Cotto better stay away from Toni,Williams, and Cintron he if he don't want to get ktfo!
