Cotto Is Doing The Smart Thing With His Career

[FJRod]

As much as I love Cotto as a boxer he should stay away from Pac I don't think he has a shot... Closer fight but he will lose. I think honestly dont care if I get blasted for this he should pursue a catch weight fight @ 156 against Sergio. The reson I say that is because if he (BIG) if he wins it will solidify his career for all the doubters. Or fight Canelo or Kirkland at 154 then retire.

Cotto was not an unstoppable force because he never had a trainer that could mold him in to one, but he always had the talent to become one. Is amazing it took Steward and now Diaz to work on the things that he should have been working from the start of his pro career. Like clinching, the right hand, defense from uppercuts, defense for body punches and learning how to fight moving away from your opponent. Before Diaz started to train Cotto his style of boxing was to move away but not giving angles just backing down on straight lines, he would never circle or turn his opponent and also lets not forget the habit on stoping on the ropes that **** was there even before the first Margarito fight just look at his fight with Abdulaev. Evangelista and Santiago never did anything to improve Cotto. They work the same **** all the time.

Good post. I think he can definitely keep improving. He has the intelligence and talent to fight smart he just needs the tools/knowhow.

With the right strategy and game plan and pursuing it for 12 rounds.. i got Cotto on a rematch against Pacquiao.. Pacquiao its not unbeatable his got alot of weaknesses and people dont see it.. Good fighter but im sure Cotto and Diaz can come up with a gameplan and get the win.. and Cotto will defenately beat Canelo Kirkland Chavez jr and Ortiz.. Cotto its way smarter than these kids and no doubt he will take care of any of them..
