Miguel Cotto's "Stamina Issue"..

It is a big issue because Miguel has shown poor stamina in the past when he is pushed, maybe it will be better for this fight because he has been training longer and didn't take time off but I need to see that first. I am fairly sure Manny can fight 12 hard rounds if it comes down to it but I can't say the same about Miguel so that is why it is an issue. The fight may play out any number of ways but this concern is legitimate.

It's a big issue since he's fighting Pacquiao. Pac just seems to pick up steam the more and more the fight goes on. Cotto loses steam and his defense becomes more and more shoddy as the fight goes on. It's not that Cotto gasses but that he slows down. With Pac, if you can't keep up with his pace you are going to get overrun.

Yeah Ok ...so the big question is, If CLottey is a bigger giant than Cotto the Giant..why do you still not give Cotto the credit he deserves in his win over the great giant Clottey? Like you believe that Cotto should beat Pac because he is so huge and has that size advantage. You yourself say that Cotto should be embarrassed if he cant beat a smaller fighter. Well Cotto beat a Bigger fighter in Clottey....why the double standard?:nutkick: YOU STAY WITH THE COTTO VS URKAL SIG TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW HUGE COTTO IS>>>WHEN CLOTTEY WALKS AROUND AT 180. don't be stupid. cotto is a WW and clottey is also a WW. anyways, I thought cotto beat clottey. stop being a moron.

I mean, I don't even know where to begin. Probably best to just not bother. I didn't mean to be so harsh. Just having a little fun. :boxing::nana:

Cotto is at his best when he is in attack mode. But when someone pressures him, that's when he is at his worst. So by definition, Cotto is a bully. The thing is Mayweather stands in the pocket and lands punches. But Cotto literally back pedals to avoid contact. And I've never seen him hurt anybody with punches while he lands them going backwards. But the judges give him credit for it anyway. My nickname for Cotto is the Rican Road Runner. Can't stand that vacant belt scavenging queer. Someone post that gay picture up of where he is sitting on the lap of his fat friend. :nutkick: I mean, I don't even know where to begin.

This is where Pullcounters bullshit is exposed. PULL AS WE ALL KNOW IS OBSESSED WITH COTTO'S SIZE. NOW YOUR NOT TALKING ABOUT CLOTTEYS SIZE, HOW BIG CLOTTEY IS, HOW HE HAS EVEN HAD LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUTS.....CMON MAN:bounce: fuk u. I've been calling clottey a big WW forever. stop being a dick.

Cotto's stamina is fine. He didn't gas against Mosley. He was up on the cards, the cut from the Judah fight reopened in the 9th, and he realized he wasn't getting Mosley outta there. The 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th were all close rounds. Margarito just beat the shit outta him and made him fight a fight he wasn't capable of fighting. He didn't gas against Clottey. Again, a guy that just wasn't going anywhere, Cotto started boxing and using lateral movement. When other fighters do that it's boxing, when Cotto does it, he's running.

I agree Cotto's stamina is being overrated by his fans right now. :lol1: Cotto's stamina is fine. He didn't gas against Mosley.

I don't think he has a stamina issue but he does have an issue with cuts on his face and inside his mouth. That probably hurts his stamina whne all that blood is coming out

His stamina issues are seriously overrated on this board. People just hold double standards when they feel like it. look, cotto's stamina is not bad, but it's not great either.

Fuck the punch stats.. Cotto won the 11th and arguably the 12th round in both of those fights..basically he made his punches count in the "Championship Rounds"..so how is his stamina in question??.. Cotto did win the 11th round against Shane, but he was still selective with the punches he threw because he was fatigued. And you gave the last round to Cotto against Mosley. :thinking: It looked to me like Mosley practically chased Cotto out of the ring in that round.

He took a 4 round break before that, but if Cotto can't get into better shape he must pace himself better to have enough in the tank for the last rounds or else he'll be vulnerable to defend himself. Clottey is no Pacquiao he'll make him pay if he's tired. and Pacquiao's defense is no Clottey's, or his chin for that matter..so it goes both ways.. and Cotto was going toe to toe for all 9 rounds against Mosley and than started backin up and boxing more..people said he "gassed" but he was moving around comfortably and rockin shane...it was somethin many haven't seen before because they're use to seein him pressure..but if you watch the N'dou fight..he did the same.. than like always comes back strong to seal the championship rounds..except for in the Margarito fight where he was out hustled..so that's the only time I've really ever seen him gas out..personally..

yes all the time. cause clottey don't know how finish fights... punch stats for the last couple of rounds vs. mosley? Fuck the punch stats.. Cotto won the 11th and arguably the 12th round in both of those fights..basically he made his punches count in the "Championship Rounds"..so how is his stamina in question??..

and cotto has a history of gassing? yes all the time. How come Cotto threw more punches vs Clottey and Mosley the last couple rounds cause clottey don't know how finish fights... punch stats for the last couple of rounds vs. mosley?

of course against a southpaw headbutts happen, but cotto isn't a bleeder. cause mosley doesn't have a history of gassing. and cotto has a history of gassing? Taylor was gassing vs Green. How come Cotto threw more punches vs Clottey and Mosley the last couple rounds

of course against a southpaw headbutts happen, but cotto isn't a bleeder. cause mosley doesn't have a history of gassing. Mosley just pace himself better and stops throwing punches or clinches inside. against Mayorga he looked tired, but saved some energy for the last two rounds.

i'm not talking about punches, sir. if there is no cuts from no head buts, i will be surprised. very surprised. of course against a southpaw headbutts happen, but cotto isn't a bleeder. how come Mosley in the 7 round started dancing around the ring and noone has said that he was tired cause mosley doesn't have a history of gassing.
