Cotto is not known for having great sparring partnerComment

Why not bring back Dolton again?
He gave him good work last time.
He's right there on the same level as J Love for Floyd.
Also Ishe Smith has offered but has been denied.Comment

No, this is not a good sparring partner. This guy is a nobody with a ****ty record and zero big time experience. How is he going to help prepare Cotto for facing the best? Marquez and Mosley had horrible sparring partners for Floyd, and it showed on fight night when they didn't have a clue what they were up against. I thought the original idea of bringing in some talented Cubans was better than Penson. They need to break the bank for quality work if they hope to win.Comment

Cotto: Not going to rest until we find the formula to beat Mayweather
Five-Time world champion Floyd Mayweather (42-0,26KO) is scheduled to challenge WBA super welterweight champion, Miguel Cotto (37-2,30KO) for Cotto’s WBA world title on May 5th at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, dubbed as Mayweather vs Cotto: RIng Kings. The betting odds in Las Vegas have Floyd Mayweather as a seven to one favorite to unseat Miguel Cotto, but Cotto is not worried about the odds.
Full of self-confidence in his skills, Puerto Rican star believes he will have the exact ingredients to defeat Floyd Mayweather. Miguel Cotto embarks on a two-month intense training camp with his new coach, who helps him dismantle Antonio Margarito in a rematch last year. They are currently improving the jabs of Miguel and developing a different fight strategy to confuse Floyd Mayweather, who has impressive ring intelligence, when they fight on May 5.
Added to the training camp, physical trainer Phil Landman will see to it that Cotto will be ready for 12 long rounds of boxing. He is very vital in the recent fights of Cotto, who has considerably developed his stamina and speed. Numerous sparring partners will try to emulate the defense and offense of Floyd Mayweather to help Cotto familiarize the moves of Mayweather. Even though Mayweather is a exceptional fighter, the sparring partners will try their best to mimic the shoulder roll defense and the backward-moving offensive style of Mayweather.
“I am not going to rest,” concluded Cotto:” Not me, no one from my team is going to rest until we find the formula to beat Mayweather on May 5th.”
“Actually I don’t pay too much attention to that,” said Cotto, 31:” I get paid for bringing to people what they want to see: good show, real fight; that’s what I am going to prepare for.”
According to Cotto, his game plan will be different because he respects Mayweather’s foot-speed hand-speed and accuracy. Miguel Cotto promise that this will not be a one-sided fight in favor of Mayweather. He will try to take Mayweather to the ropes and ruthlessly throw power punches to the head until he can land a huge punch to the chin. Mayweather got almost knockdown to the canvass when Shane Mosley hit Mayweather with a solid punch to the head.
Many might have agreed in Mayweather abilities as the undefeated boxer is way faster and his strength is sure overpowering. Cotto have faith in that he has the blueprint in defeating Mayweather by beating him in his own game plan. Cotto strategies to apply pressure and power that will pin Mayweather down to the ropes.
The question that many boxing fans want an answer on fight night is if Cotto’s power and size will give him the win and retain his WBA super welterweight title? Let’s all find out in Mayweather vs Cotto bout.
