That eye wont heal on a defensive wiz of a fighter much less a guy who takes 2 or 3 to give some back. It will be a problem again and it won't take a guy of Cotto or Pacs caliber to exploit it. He either becomes a stepping stone match for some young gun trying to collect scalps, he can still have success but enters the ring war torn and with a bulls eye, or he considers retiring. Knowing Arum he'll be patched back together with duct tape and gorilla glue and put right back in another big match up. He's a fighter and its all he's ever known.
I like Cotto getting his revenge. Not for the fan boy chest thumping of revenge on a "low down dirty child molesting shit bag of a goat herder"...or something, but for the fact that coming back from a devestating tko like he took is something rare and a fighter has to thirst for the chance to get it right, reclaim that pride and 'self'. Cotto has alot to be proud of but he can say Margarito means nothing to him only in hindsight. Its an empty statement. Margarito meant everything and then some to Cotto lastnight not just in name but career, status and redemption and he was able to turn the page on it.
