    I Just Rewatched Cotto Vs. Clottey, I Noticed Somthing.

    did anyone else notice that cotto looks alot skinnier in this fight?

    to me he just seemed skinnier then usual,

    im a big cotto fan, but i cant help but wonder if he should move up.

      I notice his stance was different for some reason and yes he looked a bit skinny.

        I did usually he has a small tire around his gut area and ends up losing it later on but this time he seemed really fit for before fight night.

        I think it was a good change, he still showed significant punching power and speed when needed

          Nah he was just in good shape.

          He was on weight earlier than he usually is for fights before the Clottey fight. He weighed in at 146. He's even said he can go to 145 to fight Pacquiao. Plus he looked skinny next to Clottey whos very muscular and bulks up to as high as 170 on fight night.

          no need to move up or worry about it

            i don't really know if he looked skinnier...i would have to watch the fight again and his last 2 fights to really judge...now, i did notice something though in the last 4 rounds...i noticed how cotto started boxing and moving like floyd does, and he was imitating his style some, trying to fight off of the ropes and use the ropes to his advantage...people claimed that cotto was running...he did move around a lot, but he tried to do so in a mayweather way, and it didn't work for him imo, but it did in the judges opinion...hmmm?

            he even tried the block like floyd did...i've noticed cotto trying to fight like floyd does his last 3 fights....blocking punches and moving and fighting off of the ropes....maybe floyd's style is the style to have afterall...i mean, shane has tried to imulate floyd in his fights also...throwing that jab to the body, not saying floyd made that punch up, but he has used it majority of his career and shane hasn't until recently...hmmmm? i've seen some of mayweather in pacman also....floyd's style is starting to show in these fighters...

              I think if anything he came in packing a lot more muscle and fitter...which might take away from his overall bulkyness.

                  he did look skinnier, but remember u are comparing his look next to Clottey which is a BIG WW.
