Cotto is a genuis body puncher. He understands better than anyone in decades the dividends that can be reaped by concentrating on the torso.
But he is NOT an especially hard puncher, whatsoever. For as strong as he is he's a shockingly average hitter.
I'd like for someone to explain to me how he is a P4P hard puncher. I'm open to being convinced and fully objective. Help me out..
Here's a recent breakdown from myself..

This is quite senstional, Shawn. ^
Cotto isn't just hitting his opponents in the abs, sides, and traditional target areas.. As I've said on numerous occasions he's striking all areas of the body; hips, spine, shoulders - joint areas, neck, back.. And even occasionally lower if he's really feeling frisky.. The only thing Cotto doesn't hit when he's in Body Destroyer mode are the soles of his opponents feet..
Any acupuncturist or incarcerated member of the Mexican mafia can tell you there are several dozen "kill points" or "sick points" on the human body. Points of vulnerability that can cause all sorts of reactions including nausea, motion sickness, blurred vision, loss of balance, diarrhea, loss of muscle coordination, numbness/tingling, sudden weakness.. You hit a guy in the right places enough times and you can turn him into a full blown AIDS patient in a matter of minutes.
He's a strong, penetrating puncher no doubt - but where he's hitting his opposition has more to do with the bended knees, and scrunched up faces, than the mechanics of his delivery.
