Unfortunately Miguel Cotto came up short last night against Antonio Margarito. If Cotto fought like he did last night, he would have beaten 98% of all fighters. However he was in the ring with Margarito who happened to be in the 2% he could not beat. Cotto has nothing to be ashamed about as he fought a great fight. But with all fighters who take their first loss especially by KO you wonder how will they bounce back. Cotto is a warrior and that is without doubt. He has been hurt, down, cut, bruised, bloodied and looked out on his feet only to come back and win. Last night was the first time he did not win in his professional career. Most believe Cotto will take the rest of the year off to let his body rest after such a brutal fight. But will Cotto bounce back? Personally I think Cotto can bounce back and be a champion again. Will he fight Margarito again? Will he fight Zab Judah or Shane Mosley again to get back in the mix? Will this tough loss play tricks on his confidence? These are the questions many are wondering in regards to Miguel Cotto at this point. A loss in a big fight can hurt anyone, but how you bounce back is what is important. I think Cotto will bounce back and become champion again, but the question is does Miguel Cotto believe that too.
