I do think we will see Cotto regain big league stature but I'm not keen on a rematch for Cotto at the moment.
I agree and there is no doubt Margo is better than Vince ever was. Both had a similiar style tho, sturdy chins and pressure style.
Cotto was on a winning streak like KT was before the Philips fights. Kostya had never really fought a pressure guy before just like Cotto hadnt fought a pressure guy like Margo before. They both got found out.
Cotto just had that same kinda shocked look that Kostya had when he got TKO'd.
