Cotto's Main Objective is To Stop Pacquiao's Movement

[Pullcounter]

Haha, Pullcounter, so many of your points are just so dead wrong.

lol... ok shoot...

-Cotto does not switch to southpaw to rest his left hand...if that were true he'd throw jabs and hooks with his right which he doesn't...he lines up a straight left. It has nothing to do with resting his left hand.

all I gotta say is what are cotto's 2 best punches???

obvious answer:

1) the left hook
2) the jab

if cotto is throwing those 2 punches more than any punch he throws w/ his right hand, it just undeniably proves that cotto switches southpaw to give his left hand a rest.

will cotto throw a straight left out of the southpaw stance every now and then.... of course. EVERY NOW AND THEN.

-While it's true that Cotto's stamina isn't his greatest attribute, you're underrating it.

no... i'm pretty sure i'm rating it correctly

He didn't gas against Mosley....

yes he did

he blatantly said in the post fight interview, that after while when Shane kept comin and comin and he knew he wasn't gonna stop him he just decided to move and box and win the fight the easy way.

yeah, because he was gasing. if he wasn't gasing he'd have just kept on slugging it out w/ mosley and KOed mosley. its because cotto knew he didn't have the stamina to hang in there that he started running. this is obvious.

Against Margarito he just got beat up, stamina wasn't even part of it.

nope. cotto thought he could run the whole fight, but COTTO FOUND OUT THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE THE STAMINA TO RUN 12 ROUNDS!!!

This whole "6th round" thing you use JUST based on the Clottey fight.

no its not

I know what you're thinking.

no you don't.

He punched himself out in the 6th against Clottey, and had a horrible, horrible cut.

cotto always gases. that's why he runs / takes breaks / turns southpaw.

And he was so gassed he won the 11th and 12th.

cotto was just trying to survive to the 12th. cotto won because clottey's dumb ass stopped punching.

Against Mosley he won the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 11th, the 9th, 10th, and 12th were close rounds where he wasn't just gassed.

nah he was gased.

Seriously man...you got nothing to back up what you're saying.

I back up everything with cotto's previous fights. its plain to see if you aren't a cotto stan.

When he fights BIGGER fighters than himself he does tend to get winded. But he finds a way to win

cotto cannot fight all 3 min for 12 rounds. yes he does find ways to win (particularly getting decisions in MSG)

cotto will win in a similar fight to judah fight.

its gonna be a lot more tougher than that.

Pacquiao not invincible!!

Pacquiao not invincible – Cotto

Miguel Cotto appears not intimidated by Manny Pacquiao’s reputation and says the Filipino icon is beatable. “He has weaknesses,” Cotto says.
Miguel Cotto appears not intimidated by Manny Pacquiao’s reputation and says the Filipino icon is beatable. “He has weaknesses,” Cotto says.

In the eyes of Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao is not Superman but just like Clark Kent.

“His weaknesses are obvious to me,” Cotto told the Bulletin in an interview that was made possible by his adviser, topnotch lawyer Gabriel Penagaricano.

While Cotto acknowledges that the Filipino pound-for-pound king “is a good fighter,” it doesn’t follow that Pacquiao is invincible.

“(Pacquiao) lost to (Erik) Morales in their first fight, had a draw against (Juan Manuel) Marquez and then a razor-thin victory in the rematch. Pacquiao faced a very tired and aged (Oscar) De La Hoya. Then Ricky Hatton, an overrated fighter,” said Cotto, who is in the thick of training in Puerto Rico for the much-awaited November 14 duel at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

“Against me, the story will be different. It will be a war,” vowed the 28-year-old Cotto, who is a 2-1 underdog according to odds makers.

Cotto is currently in the fourth week of training under taskmaster Joe Santiago and the arrival of South African conditioning coach Phil Landman from Los Angeles will push Cotto even further in his daily workouts that will kick off with a 5 a.m. roadwork and followed by a 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. gym session.

Landman was amazed with the condition of Cotto when he first reported for work on Monday, stressing that the fighter had followed the advice he gave him following the June 13 victory over Joshua Clottey.

Cotto will continue to train in Puerto Rico in the coming weeks and will try to keep in shape even while on a four-city press tour with Pacquiao beginning September 10 in New York. Other stops of the Top Rank traveling circus would be Caguas in Puerto Rico, San Francisco, and finally, Los Angeles.

Cotto will transfer his training camp to Tampa, Florida on September 19.

Told about the key to victory against Pacquiao, Cotto was direct to the point.

“Hard training as always has been the key to my victories.”

His message to Pacquiao as well as his supporters all over the world was loud and clear.

“I will only say that in November 14th I will step into the ring as always in excellent condition, and will win the fight for the glory of Puerto Rico,” said Cotto.

no you don't.

nah he was gased.

its gonna be a lot more tougher than that.

Haha, what are you talking about? So because he's a predominentley left handed fighter turning southpaw means he needs to rest it?

The only punch he throws out of a southpaw stance is a STRAIGHT LEFT.

No, he didn't gas against Mosley. Really, so the only reason he stopped fighting like that was cause he gassed? There's no way that he thought he was ahead on the cards and decided to play it cautious against a guy that can punch? Haha, you amaze me.

Cotto gassed against Margarito cause he got the **** kicked out of him. Margarito did unbelievable body work and Cotto just had nothing left. Not a stamina problem, a gameplan problem.

Haha, nah so the only reason Cotto won the 12th is cause Clottey stopped throwing? Has nothing to do with Cotto outworking him?

So I'm a Cotto stan now? That's certainly the first time I've been called that, and I'm pretty sure most would disagree with you.

[RRICAN]

cotto will backpedal if he gases. for evidence, see cotto vs. mosley / margo / clottey.

u answer yourself pull. mosley,margo and clottey are bigger than cotto.
is manny bigger???? u better use zab, pmalignaggi and corley. what happened to them?????

cotto won't need to fight 3 min of each rounds because HE CAN'T!!!!


cotto can't jab for a full 3 min of each round either. that's why he switches southpaw to rest his left arm.


so he didn't train hard against mosley/margo/clottey? cotto always gases.

they were just bigger guys bro

lol neither is cotto.

[Pullcounter]

they were just bigger guys bro

they were bigger and cotto gases.

Haha, what are you talking about? So because he's a predominentley left handed fighter turning southpaw means he needs to rest it?

that's not just it. cotto really puts a lot of power into the left hook especially to the body. he also has a very strong left jab.

also, he throws those 2 punches more than any punch with his right hand and cotto doesn't even throw the right hand with a lot of power, even though it is a heavy handed punch.

The only punch he throws out of a southpaw stance is a STRAIGHT LEFT.

link or it didn't happen

No, he didn't gas against Mosley.

yes he did

Really, so the only reason he stopped fighting like that was cause he gassed?

yes

There's no way that he thought he was ahead on the cards and decided to play it cautious against a guy that can punch?

cotto is warrior... that's delahoya talk to me.

Haha, you amaze me.

I know

Cotto gassed against Margarito cause he got the **** kicked out of him.

and he can't run for 3 min for 12 rounds.

Margarito did unbelievable body work and Cotto just had nothing left.

also cotto doesn't have enough stamina

Not a stamina problem, a gameplan problem.

both actually. the problem was the the gameplan did not account for the stamina problem.

as I've posted in other threads, with the right adjustments (to conserve energy) cotto can beat margo in a rematch.

Haha, nah so the only reason Cotto won the 12th is cause Clottey stopped throwing?

yes

Has nothing to do with Cotto outworking him?

lulz... obviously if clottey stops throwing and waits on cotto while cotto flicks a few punches out there, he is outworking clottey. ROTFLMAO!!!!!

So I'm a Cotto stan now?

so you say

That's certainly the first time I've been called that, and I'm pretty sure most would disagree with you.

I just write and address cotto stans in general... if you answer to cotto stan, what does that make you???

[Kevin Jesus]

What will he do if Pacquiao does not come to run, and comes with a plan to pressure Cotto? What is plan B then? What if it's Cotto that'd be on the run, and Pacquiao the one trying to cut the ring off on Cotto?

Just asking.

And i would suggest Team Cotto to have a plan B just in case.

Just saying...

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

lol... ok chill out chris brown before you beat up rihanna again.


I have.


duh... Judah is a front-runner...

false, he gased, that's why he started running.


well, that is the only way pac can win... if pac didn't think he could do it, I dunno how he thinks he could beat cotto.


pac got hit against hatton and dlh.


if cotto can't stop a former 106 lber he might as well retire from boxing.

1. Aint you suppose to have least movement and no legs when gassed? Cotto was gassed against Margarito do to punishment, he wasnt gassed against Mosley, he was just coasting, simple as that.

But your hater ass will always think other wise!!


2.LMAO jajajajajajajajajajaja

[Pullcounter]

What will he do if Pacquiao does not come to run, and comes with a plan to pressure Cotto? What is plan B then?

plan B is to KO pac. pac needs to box.

What if it's Cotto that'd be on the run, and Pacquiao the one trying to cut the ring off on Cotto?

this could happen late in the fight if cotto has not KOed pac or put a hurt on pac's body.

Just asking.

And i would suggest Team Cotto to have a plan B just in case.

Just saying...

plan B, obviously would be for cotto to try and survive. IMHO, if cotto is gased in a fight late w/ a pac with no significant body damage, COTTO NEEDS TO CLINCH AND USE HIS STRENGTH AND SIZE TO PUSH PAC BACK.

if cotto needs to, he must lowblow pac to survive.

[Pullcounter]

1. Aint you suppose to have least movement and no legs when gassed?

not necessarily

Cotto was gassed against Margarito do to punishment,

and he has average to poor stamina.

he wasnt gassed against Mosley, he was just coasting, simple as that.

that's dlh talk... cotto is a warrior remember!!!

But your hater ass will always think other wise!!

not hating on cotto, just truth telling.

2.LMAO jajajajajajajajajajaja
