    IMO one thing the he has done very well is overcoming adversity and the ability to adjust to any style of figther so far he has exellent timing,very good jab, good speed and he doesn't waist to manny punches, but like alot of you guys already said his defense lacks a little bit if he can improve on that I think hes one of the most complete boxers today.. I say his very relaxed but always focus on the fight and whats on front of him. We will see how he does against Pac, may the best man wins but my gut feeling I think Miguel will take this one..

      Is Cotto relaxing or just gets tired?

        cotto is versatile, but he is robotic.

        cotto has only really has 1 gameplan w/ a back up plan. try to overpower his opponent. if that fails, fight in spurts. that is why margo made him quit, when cotto cannot overpower his opponent or fight in spurts he is lost.

        cotto is very strong and has a good arsenal of punches. I would not categorize him as complete because he could not handle margo's pressure.

        cotto should beat pac... he has no business losing to a former 106 lber.

          A little too severe, but in general principle, I agree.

                Most of the studying should be before the fight.

                  If Cotto fights the same way as he fought Torres, there is no way he can win a fight with Pacquiao. Pacquiao will pick him like a booger waiting to get flick down the canvas.

                  Just my opinion
