Did Cotto had wrong gameplan for MARGARITO?

[fightingfigs]

he shouldve loaded his gloves as well

I get what you are saying, but Mosley has natural strength that overshadows what Cotto has, and Mosley has been working on it since he was a kid, I doubt Cotto would be able to hit the gym for a two month training camp period and become as strong as Mosley.

I didn't mean Cotto can achieve the exact same strength as Mosley, but he doesn't have the time. But Cotto can improve his physical strength to the degree where he would be more effective physically against Margarito.

You do know that boxers are discouraged from weight training right. Mosley has tendon & ligament strength, look at his body. He's always ripped; that **** is natural, yes he tunes it with weights but it doesn't take away from his boxing ability. He's a special case. I wouldn't advise Cotto to take up weights.

Boxer's aren't discouraged from weight training. That is an old training myth that has been proven false time and time again. Weights can improve speed, punching power, raw strength etc etc.

Why is Mosley "strong naturally"? The guy has lifted weights for years. Thats not the definition of natural strength. 135lb fighters don't walk into a gym and start benching 300lbs "naturally". That's time and effort.

Cotto can improve his physical strength, which would help him outmuscling/tying up Margarito in clinches/on the ropes.

Nevermind, there is no point in trying to explain things to you all.

Why? Because you don't have an educated answer?

Molsey is anturally strong, and it took him YEARS to get as strong as he is today, so how do you think Cotto will be able to get in the gym 2 months before a fight and become as strong as Mosley?...I get what you saying, but I don't think it is happeneing. Cotto looks like his strength is in his legs, which means he has a lot of punching power, but not much inside rough and tumble clinching strength.

Because Cotto doesn't have a weak upper body to start with. He has a good foundation.

If Cotto is serious about winning a rematch with Margarito, weights would be a good idea. He could start putting them into his training camp for Clottey. He would have more than 2 months then.

No because I've come to discover that you are an idiot.

No because I've come to discover that you are an idiot.

And why would that be? Because I have a different opinion to you? Because I like Cotto? Or any actual reason?

I think the first half will be about even, maybe 3-3 or 4-2 Cotto, but after the 6 or 7 Cotto will take over with his bodypunching and boxing ability. I think that Clottey will come out to take Cottos head off, and he will throw lots of punches in that first half. Wich will get him tire faster than he does and then Cotto will ripp his bodyshots, in route to a 116-112 UD or a late TKo, do to the bodypunches. Watch put for Cottos left uppercut in the fight. That will be his money punch against CLottey along with the left hook to the body.you see if Cottos camp fights smart, they will threat Clottey is if he were a southpaw, Cotto will use his lead right instead of the jab to set things up, Cottos jab wont be as efective in this fight, do to Clotteys shell defense. Clotteys best punch will be the right uppercut, because you know how Cotto gets hit with that punch. If for some reason Cotto negates that punches to CLottey it will be a shutout like 118-110 for Cotto. Clotteys right uppercut if what going to keep him in the fight.

But thats just my view!!!!!!!

What Do you think Adrewcuff
