    It's not too late for Cotto to change, look at Klitschko

    Klit changed dramatically, and this was after he was on the world scene for a long time. Cotto can make the same adjustment.

    Klitschko also has a PHD. Cotto doesn't.

        Yes, but Cotto is not one dimensional like Hatton.

          THIS. where did ppl get the idea cotto was one dimensional. he can do it all, box and brawl. his problem is knwoing when to do either. sometimes he chooses the wrong time and the wrong opponent to brawl with. i.e. manny and margs.

            Wlad has a boxing brain but never really have to use it, I dont think Cotto has that "smarts" no offense to do it the way Wlad has been able to.

              Wlad has taken alot less punishment since his losses normally came early and he didn't take too much punishment. I mean I know heavyweights hit harder then WW's and can cause more damage with punches, but at the same time Cotto has been through more wars in my opinion.

              Cotto is one of my other favorites, I hope that he can win Yuri's 154 pound belt.

                  To be fair, I think YOU can train the Klitschkos and get the same results.
