I love Cotto as a fighter, but in training he always seems to go at half pace to me, never seems to train with any intensity. Not that im in the training camps to judge but from the many videos ive seen, he never seems to care too much. Even skipping rope at half pace. When you watch people like Floyd and Manny (the REAL elite), they train like they are about to be eaten by a bear, like their lifes depend on it asif someone was holding a gun to there heads saying 'train hard beyotch!'. Even Floyds skipping seems more intense than cottos Pad work FFS. Now Im a huge fan of Cotto, but I always have that WHAT IF sort of feeling. What if he trained at full pace all the time, would he of had the insane stamina to out last Margo in the fight they had and beat him. Would he of been able to handle Pac a little better if his stamina was on Pacs level?

I dunno... jus sayin thats all. What do other Cotto fans think? I dont want to hear from Cotto haters or no one like that. Just Cotto fans.

He's seemed to have trained like that his whole career. Based on his career and how his fights have gone, I don't think it's affected him in a way where you can say "He didn't train hard enough". I think fighters train the way they train because they know how to take their body to the limit without either over or under training. Pacquiao's pace works for Pac, Cotto's works for Cotto.

That right hand is looking sharp.

i love how emanuel steward always act "stunned" when he's doing the pads.

does anybody know what's the reason behind this? does it possess a psychological boost to his fighters (to their subconscious mind, that they can hurt their opponents) ?

Cheers for getting back to me dawg.

You have a good point. I'd never say he doesnt train hard enough tbh though, hes always had enough staminer to go 12 rounds so hes clearly training alright. But he just doesnt seem to have that hunger when he trains like the other dudes.

Couple of things ya gotta remember. This is a media workout, they're not really going 100%.

Also, if you watch, they're working on tactics. Combinations, and most importantly, it's clear that Steward is trying to teach Cotto how to effectively move laterally and roll punches.

But that's stuff that's new to him so he's obviously not gonna look like Floyd doing it.

I would think so Cotto can visualize the shots like in a real fight in conjunction with how he's throwing his combos.
