    cotto changed his style???

    when this guy came into the 147 division he was a come forward destroy type guy and all of a sudden he became a runner slash boxer ...this lets me know that he started getting hurt at 147 by bigger guys. even chop chop hurt him and that rediculous...he has to run because if he stands in front of a potential threat he will be stopped ...whomever his next fight is, hopefuuly it won,t be a puncher because he may not be able to cope...but there,s no one at 147 would walk him down like tony...

    I think he realized coming forward against marg would be bad for his health.

      I think most people took it as him just becoming a more complete fighter. I dont know if the size at WW was a factor because he seemed to get hurt more at 140 and he's still been way bigger then anyone he's fought at WW except for Tony. He's just fighting better guys now who also have strength & power that are putting him on the move more. He could still definatly be a all out come forward fighter but will he beat guys his own size who are good that way?

        Why would he brawl with someone who can only brawl? Cotto did the right thing against Margarito, but Margarito got Cotto on the ropes and brokedown his will

          Cuz he's not the bigger fighter anymore.

          Against people smaller or the same size he fights like that. Against bigger opponents he has to rely more so on his boxing skills

            I would basically agree with that statement.

              boxing is all about movement not standing in front of someone and getting beat in th face..his style changed because he grew as a boxer not a club brawler

                if cotto stood toe to toe with margarito he'd have gotten smashed in 7 rounds.
