Cotto's Power At 154

[AnimalisticMeth]

We can finally put to rest the speculation that Cotto's power at 154 is not as good as it was at 147. I have made threads in the past about this topic and my view stands I really think Cotto has more power at 154 than it was at 147. The punches he throws really have some big time power behind them and I saw a couple of times in the Margarito fight that Cotto almost lifted Margarito with the right hands and hooks he also cut Margarito in the eye, the nose and had him spitting blood.

Yeah we can put it to rest

He has no power

He's got enough pop to get respect from most(unless they're inhuman like Margs) and probably enough for accumulation stoppages, but not enough to like hurt someone early and put them away.

But that was always Miguel Cotto. He got most of his KO from body shots or accumulation of punches. My point is people said his power would go down at 154 but if you compare some of his last fights at that weight (147) and even the erlier ones his power at 154 seems improved and with more pop.

Yea but he'll get less respect. He's not feather-fisted and he's got enough pop to keep guys honest, but not to the degree in which he had at 147. And at 147 if he wasn't fighting guys with iron chins(Mosley, Margs, Clottey) he was able to really hurt everyone he fought.

I don't think he's gonna be really hurting anyone with one or 2 punches at 154.

Cotto was barely able to hurt Foreman with his punches he no power at 154 and his power wasn't very impressive at 147 either.

He wobbled Foreman with a right hand, his weakest punch.

From round 7 on, that's true. But the punch I'm talking about took place in the 2nd round.

Cotto's team put water on the canvas and Foreman slipped on it, of course your gonna hurt a guy who can barley walk. All of Cotto's stoppages at 154 are suspect lol look at Mayorga, he quit. Margarito got stopped not because of Cotto's power but the cut reopened. Foreman slipped on water and hurt himself and could barley move
