Miguel Cotto is a Boxer/Brawler, Not A Boxer/Puncher

[October]

I've often seen Mr. Cotto referred to as a puncher, but he's actually a brawler. I think his bodypunching earlier in his career led to this misconception, since he often knocked out his opponents with that left hook to the body.

What most people don't realize, however, is that timing is more important in a body shot than anything else. It mainly has to do with the opponent's inhale/exhale rhythm as well as the position of the diaphragm. Even a light tap, if well-timed, can slow a fighter in the heat of battle.

He's also weak minded, and has **** stamina.

And beats up on British drum players for vacant belts while looking like a killer doing it. When he ran into Pac and Margarito though? Ch@mp.

I can only describe his style when he is comfortable and effective as a cautious aggressor style.

[Alec900]

indeed... he's a true warrior of the sport.....

Cotto doesn't get half of respect he deserves...PBF's fighting Mosley,big deal,Cotto's already done that.and he fought Margarito and he fought PacMan.
Miguel Cotto - anybody,anytime,anywhere

Accuracy of power punches makes Cotto a puncher. A brawler has power but not much accuracy. Right?

I would consider Juan Diaz something of a brawler and he doesn't really have power.

Brawlers just throw alot of punches and come forward most of the time regardless of how accurate or hard their poonches are.

He was in no rush to fight Williams.
