Cotto's just following the wrong direction. He knows how good his power is, and he's getting accustomed to TKOing guys, so he wants to end the fight with one of his money punches. This is totally wrong for him, he needs to get back to counter-punching and then he will get back to his groove.
I still see something special in Cotto. He definetly has a CHAMPIONS heart.
so does arturo gatti, and look where that got him against floyd

DeMarcus Corley who got robbed against Zab Judah, But convincingly

My favourite fighter is Floyd Mayweather from the start, and I think he fights Cotto Mayweathers handspeed would be fast, but first I was 100% sure Mayweather would easily beat him, now im about 70% sure...these accomplishments have taken my 30% off.. But im still sure Mayweather would win a decision or probably a late TKO against cotto.
Mayweather fought those guys first. Juuko? How long ago was that? And Mayweather fought them at a lighter weight, except Corley. And Cotto is a friggin natural middleweight who drains himself completely to make 140. Mayweather never drains himself to make weight, he's got more discipline. And a better chin.
You watched the Corley and Cotto's last fight and you're only 70% sure Mayweather would destroy him? Those fights made me that much more confident that Mayweather would murder Cotto.
Cotto just needs more discipline, he has difficulty with his weight because he drinks too much and likes to party too much. If you're going to be a boxer you have to dedicate 100% to it, I have seen him completely wasted a couple of times.
Aside from that he's left hook is terribly wide wich allows his opponent to counter with the RH. Yet he can rededicate himself and work on his flaws and beat Mayweather and Hatton as well as they can also beat him because when you have 2 good fighters anyone can win on any given night.
Whosoever sais that Cotto has a weak chin, you must think that Mayweather also has a weak chin. Mayweather was rocked by Demarcus Corley. Ricky Hatton is so overrated. He is just a pressure fighter that has fought alot of no names(except an old slower Kostya). A boxer who moves lateraly and fights from the outside will give ricky alot of trouble.
The fight between the two will be tough to call but it leans more toward Mayweather. He is faster and slicker. THe only thing that discounts that is the fact that Cotto hits like a Welterweight or junior middleweight. To to say that Mayweather can handle Cotto's barrage of punches would be a dare.
DeMarcus Corley who got robbed against Zab Judah, But convincingly
lost to Mayweather, also lost to Miguel Cotto by TKO in Round 5
You are misleading the sheep here. Judah won the fight and the result was not at all controversial. Corley put up a weak ass fight. Judah won fair and square.
Also, styles make fights. Cotto KO's guys cuz he has more power than Floyd. That doesn't mean he will beat Floyd. Cotto could potentially beat Floyd if he was able to impose his will on him, but he's too much of a plodder and I feel strongly that Floyd would defeat him. Floyd would hit him cleanly and easily. Cotto could **** Floyd up if he can get inside and deal with the punches Mayweather will surely land.
well i guess you dont really like cotto then, pbf might hurt thr boy, hatton will be a gritty fight, more of a toss up, but pbf will really hurt the boy.
