Maybe I'm a bit slow but it only just occurred to me how much this fight cost Cotto. Yeah most people question the actual loss but that isn't it.
Cotto was in line to fight De La Hoya, this would have actually been a career high for Cotto. I think he would have gone on to beat De La Hoya he would have then become a superstar.
Because of his loss, Pacquiao got the De La Hoya fight, the millions and the superstar status. This could have all been Cotto's and we would have probably seen a Cotto vs Mayweather match.
Now it's all Pacquiao, I don't begrudge him any of this though if I was Cotto all of this would be running through my mind, I'd actually want to a rematch not to win but to cause severe damage.
