    This is the same reason he lost the fight to Marg. He can't fight like that. He lets himself get trapped on the ropes and is happy to stay there. HE doesn't spin or clinch to get off them and if he were to do that with Marg again he would lose even quicker in a rematch. That is a bad way to fight a powerful pressure fighter if you're going to box him.

    He should use his jab much, much more and use a ****load less foot movement because a lot of it is pointless foot movement. He should only be moving just enough to get out of the way. One step to the side and counter or one step to the side, counter then spin out or clinch and get back to the center of the ring.

    If he does get the rematch soon and fights like that again, it will probably be over by about the ninth or tenth rounds. If he can learn to fight more conservatively without worrying about power or trying to KO Marg and just throws with speed, then he can conserve his energy better. If he also uses more small lateral movement, just enough to make Marg get set again before punching then he can get off his counters and tie Marg up.

    Probably the biggest thing though, is he needs to stay off the ropes. Marg works best against someone who is on the ropes and Cotto gets tagged on the ropes. He needs to fight in the center of the ring and just use small side steps to confuse Marg and get him off balance. All the leg work he put in in the first fight completely drained him of energy and most of it didn't actually have any purpose. Either way, that video was not a good way to fight a power punching pressure fighter.

      Did you already count yourself?


      Although this thread is not a ****** thread as the started supposed, you can have a good discussion here and there are many arguments from both sides. Its a shame what that first post says

        your lying to yourself if you think floyd has a MUCH better chin than cotto but that's besides the point. floyds, the guy that cried on ellerbes shoulders and managed to make himself look like a *****, is already a beaten man cause its a mental thing. he fears a repeat of history. roger may vs chavez
        Floyd has a MUCH better chin then Cotto. Ask Chop Chop and Zab.

          Its not a shame at all. This is a ******, ****** thread, and has been discussed nearly a million times in other topics of basically the exact same name. Most arguments on this board are ****** anyway, because no body has any interest in listening, just in arguing back. So shove it, buddy.

            yes..... quite easily too imo. cotto, though a victim to margarito, is a tougher matchup for floyd imo, as is Shane Mosley. Margarito will not find floyd...
