Who Can Beat Miguel Cotto?

[Addison]

I wish I had a nickel for every straight right hand Oktay Urkal (yes, Oktay Urkal) landed on Cotto.. I'd be a very wealthy man.

What don't you understand?

Well to begin with you know that Cotto fought Urkal after Torres, yes?

Forget about him though, you know basically the only good work that Quintana and Branco did were with the straight, right?

And Malignaggi landed a boatload as well..

I'm not saying he's a defensive specialist, I'm saying his defense is solid, his defense for the right hand has improved since the Torres fight. Mosley was trying to land that right hand all night, he said so himself and the HBO guys were saying the same thing, he couldn't land a flush right hand until late in the fight, I'm saying the only punch a fighter can land on him consistently is an uppercut right up the middle because he relies on seeing that punch coming and closing his elbows in time to catch it.

Mosley landed the overhand right at will, even at the beginning. Again, he is vulnerable for a lot of different punches besides the uppercut. He is vulnerable for straights shots.

As I said, his defense has improved for the right hand, doesn't mean he's a defensive specialist.

You got me, but I still maintain that his defense is solid and has improved.

Uh huh, well I haven't seen much improvement..

He has picked up on his defense and he doesn't get hit at will the way he use to at junior welter, but hes still vulnerable and gets hit often.

Ah.. So you don't think he has a shaky defense/chin?

He's been hurt in a couple of fights. No shame there. He's fighting not dancing with the stars.
