Forget About The Chin - Can Cotto Handle Intense Pressure?

[Scott9945]

I dont think Cotto will sign..he'll fight Clottey or Collazo instead.

Would you like to bet your points on that? I'll give you 2-1 odds.

What do you think?

I'm undecided at this point. 9 times out of 10 cotto is the aggressor and generally fighters look to fight him on the defensive path or intend to keep him away with the jab.

There havent been enough cases where i've seen cotto pressured to make and honest evaluation.

Mosley was the closest i've seen cotto pressured and it wasnt intense or anything like that...and mosley isnt really a pressure fighter but he consistantly intended and attempted to bring the fight to cotto and except for that round late in the fight he did decently well...

but i dont know how he'll stack up to the pressure margarito puts on.


No one will have pressured cotto more intensely than margarito after their fight is over.

In all fairness; not many fighters have dealt with the type of pressure margarito puts on (1200+ punches a round).

Good objective comments.

Mosley had his best moments when he was pressing the action, going to Cotto's body and backing him up.

Good objective comments.

there's not many fighters like margarito, i think he's a bad style for cotto like how nate cambell pressured el torito, cotto will have to play counterpuncher to marga's wide shots - it'd be easy if there weren't so many of them. i loved how marga made the new improved cintron fold like a cheap suit. both cotto and margarito are the guys that break other guys down, i guess we'll find out which one of them is tougher

Not only does Cotto not like pressure - he doesn't even prefer to exchange. There's nothing he detests more than contention.

<------------- This ain't just for show.

Put all the pressure he wants. A miss and Cotto will make him pay. Tony shots are wide. Trust me, it will be a problem is Tony misses, and a problem if Cotto gets caught with an uppercut. (But I think Judah's uppercuts are far more stronger than Tony's..... and faster.

Just when you think you got me figured out
The seasons already changin
I think its cool you do whatcha do
And dont try to save me

This sounds like the description of one exchange.

What happens the other 35 minutes and 58 seconds?
