I was watching the countdown to cotto vs. margarito and it was talking about how cotto basically trains himself and his uncle just sort of watches over you think a new trainer might bring out a even better cotto?
 
NOBODY COULD HAVE PREVENTED WHAT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY NIGHT! Margarito is too big and too strong for Cotto. It's a bad matchup for Miguel.

Kinda disagree with this. Cotto had a bad plan and I believe underestimated how tough Margarito really is.

Yeah it is a bad match up but there is always a possibility Cotto could win a rematch.
 
Definitely think Cotto should get a new trainer. He and his Uncle don't even talk.

I would love to see Floyd Sr in the picture.
 
Cotto should have boxed him, but margarito made it a fight. The first six rounds Cotto was circling the next five margarito made him back up. Cotto dominated exchanges in the middle of the ring, but margarito willed the fight to the ropes. Cotto started strong Margarito finished. A different trainer on saturday wouldn't really have made a difference, but I think that a different one in his future fights would be best for miguel.
 
The biggest problem with Boxing today is that a guy loses one damn fight and all of a sudden "he dont got it no more". "He's finished".

This mentality is the number one reason fighters duck tough fights and why the match making sucks at times.

Styles make fights. Just think. Margarito beat Cotto. Williams beat Margarito. Quaintana beat Williams (The first time) and Cotto beat Quintana.

A game plan can and WILL make a differance. Cotto lasted over 11 and a half rounds in there against Margarito. It's not like, if he made some changes in his game plan, he cant last 12 rounds against Margarito. Margarito's knockout % isnt all that high and he failed to knockout guys like Clottey.

This doesnt mean Cotto needs a new trainer. The guy he has now knows him and will keep him safe. His trainer knew he had enough after those 11 and 1/2 rounds and knew his fighter was hurt. In that his trainer did a fantastic job. A new hire would have probably let Cotto to end up seriously hurt.

Im tired of all these undefeated fighters being scared of losing and ducking good fights. And this whole mentality that once you lose you're finished is getting very tiring and annoying.
