    I think we put too much emphasis on the "0" in our boxers records. I'd rather have a boxer who has taken on the challenges and have losses then have someone with and "0" that has not faced the top opposition available. I hate to say this but this is why UFC fans love their guys and if you look at their fighters not many are undefeated...even Spider Silva is not undefeated, yet he is their p4p man. Not too many fighters in history are undefeated...hell the #1 ATG or GOAT is Ali and he has several losses, after Ali comes Robinson and he too has several losses yet them 2 are the baddest men on the planet what does that say for great boxers? To me it states that you don't have to be undefeated to be considered the best.

    So does this fight redeem Cotto...not really but then again Cotto is not defined by the Margarito loss but by his wins over top competition and by facing the fiercest fighters available in his division. Only one he hasn't faced is Williams out of the guys willing to fight him...can't say much for Floyd nor Pacquiao cause it seems that they don't want to tango with Cotto. Though I cannot say that they won't face him either...they are all still active and not retired and as fans we should all be crossing our fingers that these fights come about because it would be a priveledge to see all these fights. Hopefully these fighters won't worry about their records and just get it on.

      I have to go with the majority vote and say no that this win does not redeem him of the defeat he took against Margarito. However it does cement his spot atop the WW divison and a potential Clash with Mosely should then be in order. This is the fight I hope happens assuming he gets by Clottey.


      As far as redemption goes: Miguel Cotto needs to face Margarito a second time in order to prove to himself that he is the better fighter. Fighting someone else or beating a guy like Clottey just isn't going to cut it.

        NO.Once you loss that 0 you can never be undefeated again.
