Like with mosley , he knew he had to box. Margarito he tried outboxing him , and he did get tired , and clottey , In my opinion i think it surprised him that he actually had to box a little more. I think he might have underestimated clottey.

So in my opinion cotto does have a stamina issue. Not the best stamina.When he tries to make it a boxing match he seems to gas out , but when he has complete control , and is being the aggressor , it looks like he can fight 20 rounds. is a little weird.

What do u think?

Too much back peddling is what gasses Cotto..as long as he's going forward and dictating the match..he'll sometimes back up to give himself space..but then go forward again..like in the Mosley fight..I don't think he was gassed at all..I think he was just using strategy to lure in Mosley and surprised him actually..

As long as Cotto has Control..his Stamina is fine..because he's gone to the later rounds with some pretty good competition like Mosley, Judah, Malignaggi, N'Dou, etc. and he didn't seem gassed in any of those fights..but he was the aggressor for the majority of those fights too..

All that matters is he will be in the best shape of his life for Pacquaio. He has already been training since August.

true , but is what kind of fight he is forced to do , or he will force it to be , if he can control the fight , and can avoid backpeddlin he will be fine , but if manny's speed is too much for him to handle then is going to get ugly.

i think cotto has stamina issues because hes short but stocky, if that makes any sesn to you guys. usually people with stamina are the thiner fighters. lets see what he comes up with for the paquiao fight, can he fix it by simply working his lungs more?

**Navyboxer1109** · 09-17-2009, 02:56 PM

I agree with the lung training. Marquez goes up into the mountains, and has to exert himself more in order to get the right amount of oxygen, and when he comes back down, his oxygen intake is doubled. That's a kickass tactic for developing stamina and cutting shortness of breath.

INDEED!!!

But in my opinion , for most of his career , cotto has been a non stop brawling , non stop pressure , aggressive powerful animal.

of course... cotto has only stepped up in competition lately starting with Mosley. everybody before that was B level or under. And even gatekeepers like Judah and Corley and Torres have been able to hurt Cotto.

And to me there's only been a few fights were cotto knows he has to do more than brawl to come up with the win , In other words , he knows he has to combine boxing with his favorite style which is , pondering people.

Yes, cotto can box when he needs to (ie when he gases)

im not saying he always does , but at least it looks like thats what he enjoys , and is better at.

yep, cotto is better at offense than defense. he can dish it, but he can't take it.

Like with mosley , he knew he had to box.

yep, cause he was gasing.

Margarito he tried outboxing him , and he did get tired ,

yep, he gased

and clottey ,

he gased there too.

cotto always gases.

In my opinion i think it surprised him that he actually had to box a little more. I think he might have underestimated clottey.

nope. after the margo fight, he knows he can't fight nonstop for 12 rounds. he knows he has to conserve his energy.

So in my opinion cotto does have a stamina issue. Not the best stamina.

definitely

When he tries to make it a boxing match he seems to gas out ,

nope. he always gases. the only time he doesn't gas is when he's busting up his opponents and they aren't firing shots back.

but when he has complete control , and is being the aggressor , it looks like he can fight 20 rounds. is a little weird.

hell no. cotto couldn't go 20 rounds. he can barely make it 12.
