Who suffered worse in their defeat, Cotto or Pavlik?

[kingfrnk]

Cotto was beaten into submission

Pavlik lost a 12 round decision.


That doesn't seem like much of a choice to me.

It might not seem like much of a choice but think of it this way.

There aren't many guys who can do to Cotto what Margarito did to Cotto, especially taking the shots Toni took.

There are a ton of guys especially at 168 and 175 who can do to Pavlik what Hopkins did to Pavlik. B-Hop just blue printed the way to beat Kelly Pavlik AND Kelly has been proven ineffective at weights higher than 160 by Hopkins AND Jermain Taylor who some may say won the rematch.

I think Cotto was more physically damaged but mentally and emotionally it has to be Pavlik especially since he was fighting a guy who Joe Calzaghe made look like a bum.

are u saying joe made Bhop look like a bum
