Would Cotto Have Still Given Up If...

[Preme]

look, by that point cotto didn't even know who oscar diaz was, shit he probably didnt know who he was.

he was tired as shit, he brain was spinning he was stumbling around the ring because he had no control of him self.

Stop making excuses

he got beat and nothing in the world that has happened before or after this fight would of changed that.

Conditioning is a huge factor. We can argue all day as to what came 1st the chicken or the egg. In other words, was Miguel getting caught more because he was gassed? or was Miguel gassed because he was getting caught?

Given the ease in which he was able to outbox Marg. I think Cotto was definitely gassed out. He looked more like a man who simply could not breath anymore. He took his knee and stood up, he was not dizzy etc just gassed out.

This is a winnable fight for Cotto and anybody pretending Margarito is too much for Miguel is not being realistic. Cotto will be back.

The only place he will be back is on the floor if he gets in the ring with magarito again.
