As much as I hate to say it because Cotto is my favorite fighter.
You just have to press the guy. Obviously easier said than done because you have to withstand his punches but you just have to keep pressing him.
It is easier to keep pressing and not get discouraged when you know your opponent will tire and you can get him late.
Everyone Cotto fights from now on will know that they are going in there with a guy who can not deal with 12 rounds of pressure.
The Margarito fight, Clottey fight, and Pacquiao fight all ended with Cotto struggling towards the end. Even in the Clottey fight where I felt he effectively boxed Clottey when he was tired he was clearly exhausted and not the same as the early rounds.
I think it's the Margarito loss that still haunts him. You can think your over it and really feel you are.....but you won't know until your put in that situation again. Whenever he gets a little tired in fights and the later rounds approach that Margarito fight has to be in his head. And if all your thinking about is getting tired....your gonna get tired.
If Margarito did cheat, no proof he did, but if he did than that's a fukin shame because that fight really ruined Cotto man.
Cotto needs to take a couple easy fights I think, get some confidence back and then start fighting at the top again. He rushed in too quick after the Margarito loss.
I want to see Mosely get in there with either Floyd or Manny. I think he is the 500lb elephant in the room no one wants to talk about....lefty
i dont want to see manny get hurt, which he will considering his warrior spirit and chin to keep him upright and then he'll be about 20 pounds lighter come fight night against shane
tho i'd like to see mosley-floyd also
what does it matter anyway, cotto has been overrated, how did he do against judah? got staggered you say? how did he do against mosley? got a tight decision? how did he do against clottey? gift? now way! how did he do against a non-stop iron chinned punching machine and the baddest man on the planet? lose? well what's the suprise?

For the comments you made before that. You should have realized that from my response. As I read on I do agree with you about certain things, but to say Cotto doesn't have the Margo fight in the back of his mind is ridiculous.
aight man, we'll agree to disagree
Pullcounter I just took you off ignore and told you man you really really have to stop with this hating on Cotto shit. I don't know how you can hate on someone for fighting the best boxers at WW that Floyd hasn't even fought. And before the Cotto/Pacquiao fight you were the one who kept saying almost in every ****ing topic Pacquiao is going to get destroyed by Cotto because Pacman is too small. What the ****?
dude, i'm not hating on cotto.... is calling him a 6 round fighter hate?
i don't know anything about boxing because i don't care that that guy(RTD2? what's his name?) disagrees with me?.....

blue print to beat cotto is break his nose make him bleed...I said this before the pac fight.
cotto gassed out because his nose bleeds like a womans period when punched repeatedly..not because he does not train right.. no disrespect but that is the best comparison I can think off..and if can't breathe thru your nose like your are supposed to you can't win...
I have seen other boxers with busted up nose but not bleed as much
margo did irreparable damage to cotto any from now on any opponent with high punch output and decent power will beat cotto..
margarito did permanent damage to cotto and manny confirmed it.
if clotty was a high volume puncher cotto would have been in the same situation..a clear loss and not a SD.
I used to scoff a the comments of teddy atlas that cotto was damaged goods well manny sure prove it to me. Oh by the way, I am not saying that manny would have lost, the fight would have been much more competitive and would have met the expectations if cotto did not have that problem. IMO
You seriously don't know shiit about boxing then. That Margarito fight is still in the back of his mind, it has to be. You don't learn by forgetting. I also feel Cotto rushed back into fighting top fighters but with all the money that can be made, its hard for these guys to refuse those fights. Cotto may be shot now. Two beatings like that can change any man for ever.

i wish you cotto fans were'nt so blind to subjectivity and other peoples perpective, as if only after margarito had cotto ever took a step back
last i checked, he was running from mosley in the last couple of rounds also
i seriously could'nt care tho

Pull, I swear man. You constantly discredit Cotto and bash him. All of a sudden now that Pacquiao beat him, You want to hype him up? You're a hypocrite man and it's gonna to the point where I'm actually really disgusted.
nah man... stop with the memory loss!!! I have been defending cotto forever!!! I have been saying cotto isn't shot since before the fight was even signed!!! I said cotto could beat margo with a few adjustments! I have been saying that cotto is a very good WW...
I have good things to say about cotto, then I have good things to say... I even called cotto a good guy based off the 24/7 series...
the problem is all you hear is the negative stuff, but I have always had praise for cotto!
having said that...
FUKK YOU COTTO STANS!!!! 8+ MONTHS OF YOUR BULLSHIT AND COMPLAINING!!! YOU DESERVE TO GET SHITTED ON FOR THAT MANY MONTHS!!! NEXT TIME DON'T TALK SO MUCH BULLSHIT AND COMPLAIN SO MUCH!!! ARGH!!!!! ALL UP IN YO FACES BITCHES!!!!!
marg fight laid the blueprint and destroyed Cotto
when they were fighting, around the 7th round, i said to my boy. Cotto is going to lose. he was out boxing marg and tagging the hell out of his head. but Marg wasnt effected by it, cotto was gassing and you could see Cottos will began to crumble.
i saw cotto getting desperate, he didnt go to the body like he normally does, wasnt switching to a new strategy b/c when the old one wasnt working.
thats when i knew marg was going to fukk cotto up, plaster or not. cotto's will breaks if he see and thinks his punches arent effecting someone
mosley laid the blueprint and got robbed... margo was just alot more relentless than mosley.
that's all bullshit! cotto is as mentally strong as ever.... he knew he lost the fight, and he wanted to quit in the 11th, but he told his corner that he wanted to go back out in the 12th... is that the mind of a mentally weak fighter???
nope!!!!
cotto is a 6 round fighter. the reason why sometimes cotto looks strong late is because by that time his opponent is already beat up from the first 6 rounds.
if you can take cotto's punches, and come on late, you will beat cotto. mosley beat cotto but got robbed. margo took mosley's blueprint and added mexican machismo to it... clottey would've beaten cotto if he would've been busier....
trust me!!! it has nothing to do with cotto's mind... its his stamina... he's a 6 round fighter.
Pull, I swear man. You constantly discredit Cotto and bash him. All of a sudden now that Pacquiao beat him, You want to hype him up? You're a hypocrite man and it's gonna to the point where I'm actually really disgusted.
Because it's stupid to say about someone who's proved otherwise..if you wanna dissect it...it can be done to anyone..yes..even Manny..so don't try and make it seem like Cotto has only edged his level of greatness..Cotto is a great fighter..why try and belittle it..
Cotto is probably Pacquiao's best win ever..so why would that be if Cotto was just an overrated fighter?..doesn't make sense at all to me...
not really, you've all always said cotto will knock out this and that guy, or dominate him, but he's never been the type of guy to dominate any elite, which is what im sayin
he did aight against zab, but zab always fades past the 3rd
Nobody listens to you because you call everyone "bitches" and "idiots" and say "suck it."
Nobody is going to respect your opinion when all you do is disrespect.
sorry cotto stans, but you must feel the wrath!!!! 8+ months of cotto stan bullshit and complaining... sorry, but cotto stans deserve it.
and Cotto beat Mosley. Check boxrec.:boxing:
nope, mosley got robbed.
Exactly.
When Cotto was undefeated hat ora of invincibility was there for him to believe when fighting. He lost a lot mentally after the Margarito fight.
if cotto went into the fight w/ pac with that aura of invincibility, he would've gotten KTFO like hatton. if margo didn't beat it out of him, pac would've.
oh yeah....
SUCK IT COTTO STANS!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
His stamina was really good against Shane, Zab, Margarito broke him down (If you want to count that). The problem is, Cotto's mental strength isn't there. Yesterday Pacquiao revealed that Cotto hurt him bad but he didn't show it. That right there affected Cotto mentally and he wasn't throwing as hard. Cotto doesn't have that mental strength anymore and 2-3 tune ups could fix this. Maybe beating Margarito in a rematch could fix it.
that stamina issue might have somethin to do with him facing the best fighters he's ever faced(style wise)

Cotto has never been overrated..
Judah did to Cotto what he's done to most of his great opponents..even Mayweather in the first few rounds..you weather his storm and he's done..
Mosley is made of IRON all around..it takes a hell of alot to hurt this man..and he can fight..only men bigger than him were able to beat him..and Cotto did it decisively..no matter what Pullcounter tries to prove..compubox don't mean shit anyways!..
Margarito..another IRON mofo..who was never KO'd before..and has improved in stamina, angles, and power..he's a solid guy who figured out how to tire and out Cotto..no shame there..
Clottey..ANOTHER IRON mofo..who has never been KO'd or KD'd and Cotto managed to knock him down..and with a GASH across his eye for 9 rounds still managed to outbox and make Clottey respect him deserves all the credit!..
Pacquiao..greatest fighter in our era..inexplicable..he's just amazing no matter how you look at it..top 10 atg..no shame in that being the 2nd loss on your record..
Only thing that upsets me..is in the 2 biggest stages of his career and outside of New York..Cotto has been TKO'd..Cotto needs to consider a lot of shit from here on out if he plans to climb that mountain back to the top..but in no way is he overrated..he's a hardworking guy who has flaws just like any other fighter..they all get exposed at some point..
why is it so bad to say a fighter is overrated? does'nt mean he's shit, just means your expectations of him are more than what he is capable of....jesus fukkin christ :nonono:
cotto is a 6 round fighter who can and will run late.
cotto is dangerous for 6 rounds... then he gases and has to run late. I've been telling you cotto stans this forever now.
All you have to do is be tough enough to absorb damage early or avoid damage early and come on strong late...
COTTO STANS: I TOLD YOU BITCHES YOUR HERO WASN'T INVINCIBLE!!!
