The dancing and foot work that Cotto was using made Floyds work on dancing with the stars look like amatuer night at the Apollo...THE MAN COULD DO NO WRONG.

He got beat up.

Cotto is a great fighter/warrior, but how do you come back from that, to have put on the best performance of your life, only to be preasurred into submission, I think it was the kind of loss that can change a fighter, at the very least his style. There were some moments in that fight, that I caught some looks and body language from Cotto that alluded to what ultimately happened in the fight, looks of desperation truly.

Here's my question, Cotto is coming up on a fight soon and afterwards probably will come a rematch against Margo. Will he be the same? I know there are lots of Cotto fans and I respect you all. but try to be objective here. I'd also like to here what you think Cotto's mental state will be going into a Margo rematch, can he pull the trigger against the man who beat him?
yeah, we've heard it all.. but you basically have the answer in your post.. if he fought margarito again, he'd have to change his style or approach to it.. he has realized that he can't bang with him, and he'd need to be more elusive, try to get in and out and be effective.. he'd have to use his strengths more to his advantage.. being speed and defense..

with that said, i still don't think he'd beat him, but that doesn't mean that Cotto is not still going to be a huge name in the 147 division by any means..
