Cotto post Pacquiao , A beast in the making??

[zalez787]

I started a thread the other day about how Cotto had the tools to beat Manny and he went the wrong way after winning a very smart first round. Some people in here bashed me and called me names , saying I should get over it this and that , And now CHAMBOXPR has made a new thread about him talking to his cousing and actually CONFIRMING what I said and got insulted for.

Cotto went the wrong way gamplan wise , after fighting a very smart first round and tried going toe to toe.

Manny might have been testing waters in the first , but even if he was , afterwards , HE WOULD HAVE NOT LANDED IF COTTO WOULD HAVE BOXED.

Now This conversation with his cousin , just confirms what I said. Even he knows he went the wrong way. He said he should have not gone toe to toe. He should have boxed , and he could have broken manny down.


Buck **** it , lets leave it at that.

What I like is that Cotto recognized he made a mistake , and is eager and prob hungrier than ever , knowing he could have won that fight If he would have done the right thing. Which he knows he did IN THE FIRST.

I love how he losses , and gets mad at himself.

God , Cotto is truly a ****ing beast man!!!

If what im thinking is right , Cotto might just come back hungrier than ever. More motivatred than ever , prob fight smarter than ever. If he already is known to be this motivated, devoted serious ass fighter , what will he evolve into now?? This is kind of scary , I said since last saturday , I know Cotto has the tools to beat Manny. Cotto knows he could have done so much more and he went the wrong way. He did what he wasnt supposed to.
So what now???

What do you guys think. Is this what cotto needed to get his act together!!!

Whether or not it was a wake up call??? , a reality check that his better days are behind?? , or a new beginning??? or whatever u guys can come up with , nothing will be achieved , without a better trainer!!!

If he comes to his senses and gets a credible trainer he will certainly be a beast!! Cotto has such talent but its undeveloped due to poor trainers

I hope what you say is true

WRONG....

He would have landed on Cotto even if Cotto ran away the whole fight without brawling it out. Cotto is not that good of a boxer, and pac is that good to catch him.

Well we'll see, he's been broken twice now, it will be interesting to see how he reacts when he's taken into deep waters again. Also like we talked about in the other thread, Cotto does not have the reflexes, vision or defensive ability to keep a guy like Pac off of him when he really presses.

All that might be true , but he said , He did the wrong thing. What could have been , if Cotto did the right thing, only god knows!!! And he has so much potential , And he has so many skills is not even funny what that fight could have been. A major upset imo.

You're hoping for too much bro. At this point Cotto is almost destroyed complitely. The fact that he was just exposed and wasn't the hyped up fighter that most made him out to be, plays a big part in his mental downfall.

I bet he's more mad at himself for thinking he was as good as the public made him out to be, than for the fact that he didn't box with Pac but brawled instead.

Nobody talked about running idiot. Did he run in the first NOOOO did he try going toe to toe in the first NOOOOOO did he win the first round YEESSSS. PAc would have not landed as much as he did with a Clottey or Winky like defense. and that I know for a fact. Just look at Clottey - Judah fight.

You have a guy who is very quick , and even if he is not that busy , his workrate beats Clotteys which is known for being a "slacker" in the ring. And look at the results of that fight. DEFENSE could very well make the difference.

Im done discussing with idiots!!! for real i tried taking u seriously , but u prove to be a dumbass

He's a great puncher and brawler but he does not read movements and punches like PBF, he does not have the defensive mindset of a marquez and his reflexes are average. When Manny starts to come after you, you are going to need those attributes to survive and these attributes are very difficult to train. It's much like a chin, you either have it or you don't and I'm sorry but nothing leads me to believe that Miguel does.
