He would have gotten destroyed if he engaged with Pacquiao

[El Angel]

Your right on everything. He's need firm guidance in the corner, not a buddy who cheers him on and gives him no tactical advice.

joe is to inexperienced and seems more of a friend to cotto then a trainer

[steeluv]

Cotto should have gone to Marquez trainer for the pacquiao fight... think about it, instead of that amateur, even a non expert like me would have told Cotto keep doubling up on the jab and dance around the ring clockwise to avoid the left hand. hands up do no trade unless u have to.

ok with his uncle he always had a great strategy and would get good advice in the corner...for example when he fought ssm he started off with the jab and outboxing ssm..then he went toe to toe with him...when he started getting caught too much so he started counter punching him...once he started getting tired he went back to outboxing..evangelista was a great trainer for him and knew what to do...cotto has been training himself and santiago is the trainer in name only...i think a big reason he couldnt take the punches i think was because he kept himself light after the weigh ins..im not making excuses it was just a ****** thing to do probably wanted to stay light to keep up with mannys speed or something but if you look at his fights with zab and ssm he looks alot more muscular in those fights and with manny he looked skinny...he was a beast with his uncle and the reason fmj retired i think he would have beaten manny

a pound and a half is hardly a difference is not a good excuse, Cotto had fought at lightwelter in the past, nothing to do with taking the punches at all, he just couldnt take them, Pac punches hard with speed and accuracy and cotto couldnt see them coming, ppl cant believe the "little mans power" it was no fluke he put cotto hatton marquez etc on the floor

its actually a great excuse..im not making excuses just observation...he fought at jr welter and looked like a skeleton...im not saying his power was a fluke cotto could not see them coming...i just think with his uncle he would have been way better even if he didnt win he would have been more competitive...he looked skinny compared to other fights at welter
