margarito and pac beat up Cotto. Why? styles.
martinez style is not the same. He has legitimate mw power. But not enough workrate to provide such beating. I like Cottos chances just because of martinez style. he is a good counter puncher. But so is cotto. And like i said. Cottos jab is a factor for this fight.
probably the boiggest factor. if he establishes his jab with effectiveness. that only opens room for body work. And cotto is a beast at both.
Thats why i like his chances. Cotto wont go in there A La Margarito. He will do it smart. Because he is smart.Comment

To be fair to Cotto, he did manage to stabilize Yuri Formans lateral movement by cutting the ring down, sticking the jab on him, that said, you would have to wonder how effective that strategy would be against a southpaw, as he probably wont be able to land the jab as consistently, although Martinez does drop his hands a lot so...
Not a fight I would of taken but props to Cotto, its winnable, but he will have to execute the perfect game plan.Comment

Cotto's a much better boxer than Williams... he actually knows how to block and move his head. Plus Sergio was never known as a big puncher or KO artist before cold-clocking PWill (unless you consider Cintron, but it doesn't get any weaker than Kermit).
This is a good, competitive fight if they can get it done at 154 or 55. Cotto has always done well against mobile boxers and southpaws w/ the exception of Manny.Comment

It's winnable. I don't think he'll win, but styles wise, he can find some success.Comment
