I don t no what the hell cotto'sconditioning coach is doing but it sure as hell is not working. In the clottey fight he gassed out in like the 7th round. i thought clottey would be the one taking rounds of. Even felix trinidad was better conditioned than him.Cotto need some of margarito conditioning. Whether he cheated or not he was one of the best conditioned fighter i have ever seen. If cotto does fight pacman he better be running 15 miles every day. From the day hes starts traing until like a week before the fight.
Loco,
Cotto is doing what every other great PR boxer has done with the exception of Tito and I. Calderon etc, succumb to the booze binges. Sad but true... we may never know how really great they could have been because of this.
yeah but he was in tampa and his conditioning was bad in the clottey fight. The way he is conditioned know i dont know about 12 rouinds with pac it will be a long night. unless he is some how able to land shots at pacs body. just an opinion
He was in Tampa for 8 weeks of training. Before that, he was in PR drinking Heinekens in Shannon's Pub on Wednesdays and drinking Johnny Walker at the Doble Seis in Caguas every other day. I know because my best friend's sister is always hanging out with Cotto and his crew.

Trinidad's stamina was in a different league, Cotto came back to win championship rds and take the fight. you sure you not been a bit too hard on Cotto and not giving Clottey his dues?
Cotto tires when he's in there with physical fighters who can take evrything he's got and keep coming, causes him to move around the ring constantly. Cotto tired vs Lovemore Ndou early in his career, Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, and now Josh Clottey.
There are really no other fighters around at 147 right now that can do that to him unless Paul Williams returns.
A Many Pacquiao fight would look much different than Cotto-Clottey or Cotto-Margarito, and I don't see Cotto tiring in that fight.
lets see. So he gassed out in the 7th, yet he won the final rounds and clottey didn't do a thing in those rounds but clottey is not the one who gassed out.
Cotto was losing a massive amount of blood from round three and had to constantly move during the rest of the fight to protect the cut, yet HE is the one who gassed out and has conditioning problems.
Have u ever been cut so bad that u lose a lot of blood? it seems not or u would know the effect that has. This forum is getting bad, getting to a point that is as bad as that crap on the 'east'. At least some posters that think they know, yet uber crap comes at every post
And you know all about boxing. and you would know the effects of losing alot of blood please because you beeen in some war and got cut and you know how it is. bull. cotto conditioning is not up to par with others boxers that is my obsvation and others as well agree with me.

Cotto had Clottey in the corner and was breaking through Clotteys defense punching right through it, and he didn't follow up!!! He backed off!!! Something is up with either his stamina or his confidence or something... Clottey is freaking insane to want to fight Paul Williams, Pwills is going to stop him!
Wrights defense > Clotteys defense
He didn't back off in the 6th because Clottey wasn't punching back, the next few times he backed Clottey to the ropes, Clottey let him get off with 4 or 5 punches but then he punched back which made Cotto wary and cautious so after that happened he backed off after shooting off a few punches.
And I doubt a Williams-Clottey fight ends in a stoppage for either guy.
Johnnie Walker....not bad, unless you're a fighter. :D
Anyways, Clottey was the one who stopped punching, I agree though that Cotto has stamina problems.

It's not the conditioning coach's fault that Cotto spends every night when he's not in training at some bar, drinking Johnny Walker, and trying to take home as many women as he can.
It's a well-known fact in PR that Cotto is a Johnny Walker fiend (kind of like Hatton and his Guiness). That is another reason why they moved training camp to Florida. I guess they need to start earlier because 8 weeks isn't enough to get Cotto in shape for 12 rounds.
