If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?

most of the reason tony lost was because he couldn't hit mosley. Mosley is too good defensively. Tony got caught by a left out of left field in the eighth. Part of the reason was that mosley had Margarito pretty tired at that point with all the punches that he missed. Cotto can't make margarito miss like that. Cotto would be destroyed again.

It was also those skewering body punches. Did you see how Margarito almost doubled over in the first from a right hook? That's how you beat a guy with no defense. If he'll let you hit him whenever you like, hit him in the body. And Mosley puts a HUGE amount of torque in his hooks.

I never saw Magarito almost double over from any body blows, Shane definitely landed a few hard right hooks, but they were no JLC or Cotto left hook type blows to the body.

If you watch Shane at Lightweight and his earliest Welter days, he was actually a far superior bodypuncher than either of the above.

He dismantled Rivera with bodyshots, a man who had never been stopped by any Welter.....in his first fight at 147!

taeth, have a look at some of his LW fights = beautiful body punching!!!
You'll love it!
