Cotto is a slower version of jose luis castillo

[bbos]

THere I said it, if Castillo can't beat mayweather, how can cotto possibly do it?

[MonsieurGeorges]

besides the fact that they have totally different styles, you are correct

wait

Cotto is PR so he has extra magical boxing powers.

I disagree, both are terrific body punchers, both are pressure fighters that rely on power

Nah, Cotto isn't a pressure fighter. He is more of a boxer-puncher. He uses the jab but goes for power punches over anything else. Probably why he gases by the 7th round.

I like this relation though. I never would have though of Cotto being like Castillo but it makes sense. Cotto is basically like Castillo but bigger and slower.

But Castillo was more of a brawler..did you see when him and Corrales (RIP) went at it..wow..Castillo had a chin, Cotto is more crafty, they dont fight the same way.

very true, but cotto jabs with his power hand, there fore I see his jab as a power punch rather then a regular jab used to set up combos.

Castillo has a chin
Cotto doesnt

i understand why you would say that but they have different boxing mechanics.

they both try to achieve the same thing, body punches and tight powerful combinations, but they do it in different ways

ok give or take, cotto has bit more technical skill, castillo is faster with stronger chin
