    Cotto needs to hang them up.

    First of all I want to congratulate manny and the philippines on a great victory!

    After witnessing the complete dominance of pac over cotto y have to say that cotto should hang them up. Many people including roach said that cotto was damaged goods and I refused to believe them. But I am convince now that he indeed is damage goods..

    I am not taking anything away from manny, even if cotto was not damaged goods manny could have beat him. He has grown very well into the WW/ jrWW division.

    Manny has proven to have a solid chin against one of the hardest hitters no question about it and, when cotto said that he was hurt by shots he did not see that was good enough for me to believe what others have been saying.

    These are the reasons why I say cotto should hang them up.

    He is a good boxer, but when you are spitting blood by the sixth round because your nose has been broken you cannot win any fights. I said it in a post before that if manny breaks cotto's nose manny will win and that is exactly what happend.

    Damaged goods indeed, any high volume puncher would break his nose and most likely end up in a loss. I am afraid he will end his career in a similar fashion as benitez...I believe that fighters such as collazo, mosley, even berto and margarito would have a chance to beat cotto.

    It was too bad that he said he will continue boxing it actually made me sad. Good luck to him.

        cotto isn't damaged goods.

        he just got beaten by a great fighter and he needs to move on and reassert hisself in the same division.

        he has good technical skills but just couldn't cope up with manny's speed. He also needs to improve on his defense and stamina..

            Cotto is an excellent fighter.
            He just doesn't have enough tools to keep up with a SOUTHPAW like Pacquiao.

              Nope. Cotto still has a lot of fight left in him. He was just beat by the Better man TONITE. It happens, its called boxing.
              I guess Duran should have retired when Hearns Knocked him out
              Or Mike Tyson when Douglas beat him.
              Or Arrelola after the Vitali whooped him
              Or so on and so on.

              Some good/great fighters get dominated because they fight the best out there and dont duck nobody. Cotto is one of those fighters. Believe me i see him getting about 4-5 GREAT wins on his resume before he calls it quits. I say he beat mosley/ margarito in a rematch. Wins a couple more belts beats berto. Maybe fights Hatton for a lil tune up which wouldn't be a Bad tune up. Then moves up to 154 and gets a belt there before retiring. he will probably fight 5-10 more times. He will be a 3 division champ and still be one of the GREAT WW of the past 10-20 years.

                thanks for your comments and yes he loss to a true ATG. I still think that any high volume puncher will break his nose again.

                Spiting blood by the sixth round ......not good....shows a terrible weakness...

                I guess I will have to wait till cotto{s next fight...

                but I am very happy for manny win, he definitely erased any doubts regarding DLH and hatton.

                  No one on these forums will ever make me understand this boxer's being damaged/shot/broken bs. Espeically a boxer who is 29 years of age.

                    No Cotto is not done yet, but he should take a vacation and think about his career. Christmas is coming up, I hope the best for him and his family.
