these two guys have different styles...while they are not worlds apart they are clearly not the same exact kind of fighter.

the way cotto moves from the crouch and puts together combinations sets him apart from castillo. just because they both have a bruising style built around combinations punctuated with body shots does NOT make them the same fighter.

i can see where someone would see similarities, but if you are saying that cotto is no more than a slower JLC you are incorrect. they are not worlds apart though. your opinion is not totally ridiculous, it is just slightly off

very true, but in a scenario such as cotto vs mayweather, cotto will have to use his pressure and power a lot more then his technical skills (similar to castillo), because there is no way he can out box mayweather.

other then that, I agree cotto has more dimensions

on the contrary i believe that if cotto should meet floyd in the ring he would be well advised to establish a rhythm, fight smart behind a hard jab and not over-commit to foolish punches. if he does that he conserves his power punching stamina and avoids being pot-shotted by the master of hit and run
