I think Cotto was taxed physically from moving and punching and punching and moving...his defense started to give a little and he tried to fight back but had no gas left.
I don't think Cotto quit, I think his body quit on him....his legs were gone by the 6th because he used them for power and for getting the hell out of dodge.
I think he's going to be fine and the next guy he fights is going to pay the price. Miguel is 27 he's not done by a long shot...he's not Jeff Lacy as Lacy wasn't a good BOXER and had not had success vs top teir competition like Cotto has and Jeff had a lot of injuries after the loss.
Cotto is going to be back just wait and see I think he proved his chin and his heart to be better than most guys.....listen who do you think would have taken that from Margarito and still been trying to KO him with big punches for about 6 roundsLots of guys would have just gone down and stayed down and taken the easy way out, Cotto was always trying to win even if he didn't think he could do it towards the end. Just because he has one loss doesn't mean it's the end of his career....it was a hell of a beating but he's a warrior he'll be back
