I just saw Cotto vs Margarito again...

Cotto could have won that fight, if he only clinch more. He's just have too much pride to clinch, but you know clinching is part of boxing. Its perfect for fighters that likes to go forward. For example: Mayweather vs Hatton. Obviously you cant trade with someone who's got superman chin just like Margarito. You should swallow your pride and do everything you can do to win. He's agile enough to throw combination then get away. Clinching would help with your stamina too, you can clinch and rest.

Cotto has never been known to clinch. I wonder if he even knows how to. As we saw in the Corley and Torres fights, his inclination is always to use his legs to get away from trouble.

cotto could have seriously EMBARRASSED marga-****in-rito if only he clinched in that fight..seriously he was schooling the **** out of marg

[GTL]

Cotto just has to get in and get out faster..
Like how pacman did it with DLH

In and out..
Less combos..
Basically how floyd fights, one shot at a time..

He has to stay in the middle of the ring..
Stay off the ropes

i think he was trying but he ran out fo stamina cus he was using his damn legs too damn much and not clinching(resting)

[SlickRikki]

yeagh I watched it to yesterday on youtube lol, he should have clinched more and kept off the ropes

[4773Y350NM3]

He could beat Marg, I just hope he will be smarter next time. Clinching won't make you *****.

Cotto didn't clinch not because of pride, but because it isn't in his skill set. His strategy left him very vulnerable in the late rounds, and Margarito had what it took to get the job done.

[ulises_solis]

seriously he could give a better fight by clinching but people are understimating the psycologichal impact that fight did on cotto

He could throw all those beautiful combination but he coudnt clinch? Its more of their macho mentality to fight toe to toe, but you coudn't do that with a man with a chin like Margarito. He should fight smarter next time, if he wants to win.
