Miguel Cotto's "Stamina Issue"..

[oc9979]

In the Shane Mosley fight he got tired so he started running a bit, because he had no fire power left. In the Margarito fight he was actually in good shape, but the plaster body punches and being hurt and running away from the plaster got him tired. Perhaps as a result of the Margarito fight he was losing steam in the last rounds vs Clottey. Cotto also doesn't pace himself good enough to pick it up in the later rounds. In the Judah fight it was mostly cause of the blood that he couldn't breath well. He's surely to bleed again so he's in trouble.

how come Mosley in the 7 round started dancing around the ring and noone has said that he was tired

Exactly!..

another fight and "issue" people claim is that he's got a "suspect chin"..it's been less of an accusation lately..

but had they've seen the fight with Randall Bailey and seen the CANNON he unleashed on Cotto in I believe the 2nd round?..WOW..Cotto shrugged that **** off and kept it movin!..

Bailey is P4P one of the most powerful hitters in the game!!..but all they see is a wild right from Corley that hit Cotto in the temple..and a some flurries from a guy was was like 26-0-25 in Torres!..lmao!..

also bailey was Cotto's sparring partner for the Mosley fight

You Cottards are hilarious.. Cottos stamina isnt terrible. But its definitely not great. A scale 1-10 he would get a 7.. I think it has to do with left arm being his power arm. His jab is basically a power punch.. Plus Cotto is a short stocky dude with a very thick frame(no ****) those muscles need sufficient oxygen.. And down the stretch he isnt getting enough..

vs Mosley, he got tired
vs Tony, he got tired
vs Clottey, he got tired...


Seems to me he gets tired when he's facing fighters he cant bully and fights back... Every other fighter he was bigger than, came foward and pounded them into submission.. So, he has a good shot vs Pac.. Cotto is used to beating up on smaller fighters

those fight Cotto basically threw more punches than his opponents at the end of the fight.(except margarito)

Why is this brought up like he's some kind of Zab Judah when it comes to Stamina..I'm not saying it's the best..but it's not bad..he can comfortably go 12 with out looking dead..he's done it!..

so can someone please name all the fights that Cotto has "gassed out" in..or are these the ****riders that have only seen him fight from Margarito til now?..

come on bro.rounds 5 on up he's always jumping around trying to catch a breather.besides his shotty defense, that is achilles heel.ya'll know i defend cotto alot here, but when arguing for/against his stamina, I'm honest.its average, and average aint good for an elite fighter.

Cotto's stamina is garbage period. Yeah, he can make it a full twelve rounds. But so can Jermaine Taylor against certain opponents. Cotto can fight a whole fight. I'm not dis*****g that. He just can't maintain a high pace for every round like a lot of other fighters can. A front runner is the best way to describe Cotto.

i'm more worried about cuts. there's cuts written all over this fight.

cotto gases out all the ****ing time. in every fight you see him start running or switching soutpaw, that means he's gased.

cotto's not a bleeder like gatti.

[pigdestroyer]

cotto's not a bleeder like gatti.

i'm not talking about punches, sir. if there is no cuts from no head buts, i will be surprised. very surprised.

of course against a southpaw headbutts happen, but cotto isn't a bleeder.

cause mosley doesn't have a history of gassing.
