Miguel Cotto - Unluckiest fighter in history?

[TheBranMan]

Interesting post bud

As a Pac fan i would be gutted and hugely disappionted if this were the case, but on the other hand it may help explain his demolition of Hatton

As for Cotto, would this help his mental state to climb back through the ropes for another tilt at a title if it were proved to be the case

As much as it may help his mental state (or eat away at it :P), he took a LOT of physical punishment in those fights (as miles pointed out, he had to dig deep to even make it to the championship rounds). While he may stick around for a bit longer, I'm not sure he'll still be able to compete at the super-elite level.

I'm a big Cotto fan and if the accusations about Pacquiao are true (or even if they are left unproven - like Margarito's gloves), it'll absolutely crush my faith in the sport. Unless things change drastically, professional boxing will probably loose a fan in me.

I hear what ya saying bro,

Cotto also ranks high on my fave fighters list and to see that happen to him was hard to watch, yet i also had great respect for Manny to do what he done against two of the best LWW's and WW's in todays game in Hatton and Cotto.

I personally still dont understand that if Manny is willing to take the test the day after the fight whats all the hoo-har

Marg fight did ruin him if Marg cheated for that fight. Cotto could have done more, he would have beaten Shane in a rematch and Clottey far more convincingly but do not think he would have beaten Pac but it would have been an exciting and more even fight.
