Let the little guys come up to him i.e. Marvin Hagler and Bernard Hopkins. However, we still need to see if the Margarito beating left him "damaged"
What are you talking about ? Miguel Cotto was weight drained at Jr Welterweight, he was weaker and was getting rocked by fighters who aren't known as big punchers.

As soon as he moved up he looked physically stronger, and his punch resistance was much better. He lost to Antonio Margarito because Antonio Margarito put too much pressure on, and never allowed Miguel Cotto to get a break.

It's nothing to do with Miguel Cotto being a small Welterweight, i can safely say for 100 percent had any other Welterweight in the world today, took the punches Antonio Margarito did. They wouldn't of been standing.

Its just Antonio Margarito has an unbelievable chin, unbelievable stamina, and unbelievable determination. All the 3 things above were too much for Miguel Cotto. And in the end it was nothing to do with Miguel Cotto's chin.

It was due to Antonio Margarito slowly but surely giving him a throughout beating, hitting him on the arms, shoulders, chest, everywhere. Making him always feeling uncomfortable and making Miguel Cotto.

Waste alot of energy constantly moving, normally when Miguel Cotto is boxing he can stop and get a rest. But Antonio Margarito jumped right on Miguel Cotto when he looked to get a break, plus Miguel Cotto had a broken nose which effected his breathing.

All the things above yet again Miguel Cotto had not dealt with before, hopefully he can comeback and learn from his mistakes. Like other great champions have done before.
