    Cotto didnt learn anything from the margarito fight

    Im a cotto fan but he used the same tactics as the margarito fight against clotty. When he gets pressured or hurt he fights walking backwards and he loses alote of his stamina. Margarito and Clottey have simalar build in they are very big strong welterweights with granite chins and cotto used simalar tactics in both fights by going backwards in the second half of the fight. When he did pressure clottey he trapped him in the corner and got some good shots in. Now since the margarito - shane mosley fight i thought cotto would have learned something fighting big strong welterweights like margarito and clottey. Shane had the perfect game plan against margarito he stood his ground and used his strength and speed to beat margarito. I would have though cotto would use a simalar tactic against clottey instead of running backwards. But like i said he hasnt learnt a thing from the margarito fight.
    BTW if margs fight cotto again KO Margarito with or without Wraps.

    He got away wit fightin the way he did cuz Clottey don't bring the same volume as Marg. And cuz of the eye, Clottey was all upstairs wit the right instead of attackin the body, which Marg did and Clottey is normally very good at. He still fought a good fight, but maybe he coulda done better. Gotta give some credit to Clottey for that tho.

      yeh believe cotto just won and the eye was a problem but i would have thought his tactics would have changed. He looked weak and vulnerable at some stages in the fight. He needs to change some things or he will get killed
