Using his advantage in the center of the ring is merely moving away from Margarito... if he stands his ground in the center of the ring, he will get beaten up as well. The only reason the center of the ring is good is because you can back away from punches, and why being on the ropes is bad is because you can't. However, if you back away from punches in the center of the ring... you end up on the ropes. Simple as that.
Honestly, Cotto just needs a better defense against the uppercut in my opinion.
By staying out of range and taking short steps back, or to the side, Cotto can still evade punches and stay off the ropes. He was hitting, running to the other side, waiting for Marg to get there, exchanging, then repeating. Basically he used a lot of wasted movement. He could have turned Marg, stayed in front of him, but out of range, slowly back or side stepped, and clinched when cornered.
Hopkins does this very well. But Cotto aint Hopkins, so like I said before there's really not much he can do. Williams actually did a great job of this against Marg. He kept turning Marg and tying him up when he was close to being in trouble.Comment

First Cotto didnt quit. Wait to june 6 and youll see. Cotto will box Margaritos ears off. And if Cotto land a flush left hook to the ribcage, you will see your boy crying in the ring. theres a reason why he welded his arms to his body and let Cotto hit him at will in the face!!!!!!Comment
