He needs to work on his right hand lead, which he doesnt have because he is natural left hander who is fighting on an orthodox stand.. You are trying to change Cotto's style, which we all know is too late at this stage of his career.
    Is it now? Funny because on Saturday, he bacame a clincher & a pivoter. Those were not his style. That's what a training camp is for homey. A jab is definately enough, it's the most important punch in the sport.

      Training camp is there, but once you get hit, fighter out of instinct usually goes back to what they are accustomed to..

      And a jab is important. But a job is also a setup for a power punch.. How is he is gonna set up a "big punch", when he is using his left hand in throwing the jab..

        He got hit & still stuck with in saturday.

        A big punch doesn't necassarily win a fight. But he has solid power in the right. Jab, jab, righthand, pivot, rinse & repeat. Mix in a left hook or a few, pivot & watch Manny look lost, the key is in movement.
