Is this not what you took from reading the article?

I mean the word "preparation" was used. It was also mentioned that he hasn't stopped taking care of his body since the Margarito fight.

I think people are getting confused as if he hasn't stopped training since the margarita fight. I think the goal that Team Cotto was attempting to state is that they are "preparing" for the fight now.

So you agree, that if he is in training camp mode now, there will be a problem.

If he just ticking over, staying sharp, working on tactics and watching tape and eating well.

No problem

He needs to work on stamina issues, maybe some fartlek training, up the pace of his runs.

And spar 18-20 rounds a day when he gets on his sparring.

Right, but my point is; I doubt he is doing any of this right now as it is 12 weeks out. Like stated, I think he is keeping his body in shape (like Floyd does annually) and is prepping. To the extent of this is unknown unless you are apart of his team.

But like I have said, I doubt he is training like you suggest he is doing that would lead him to being over trained. I would think they are very aware of being over trained.

If Cotto started training early...I think we all know the reason why. He's overweight again...and the only way to get into shape is to start early. First week or two to concentrate on losing the weight slowly.

That could be it, he might have celebrated the Margarito win a bit too much. Which is a problem with in itself.

Anyone got any current pics of Cotto.

No doubt, I think TS understand this too. However like you said, you don't know what exactly Cotto does in came (like Myself) I doubt the TS does either.

What I personally took from the article is like I stated before; Team Cotto is preparing for the fight. WHo knows exactly what that involves. At the end of the day we are talking about professional fighters and athletes. It's safe to say they know what they're doing.

Preparing for the fight 12 weeks out can consist of many things but I didn't feel by this article that he's actually pushing himself in camp right now but rather preparing i.e. tactics and game plans, dieting, workout ragmen's etc.. Doesn't mean he's in there sparing, running etc 8 hours a day.

Right.........

Yes, I never disagreed with your argument and theory of over training but that of what Cotto is actually doing based off this article, which states that he has begun "preparation". Not a full blown training camp mode.

Anyone that has trained for anything knows what over training is. Let alone not training enough.

lets get it cotto he aint seen a mutha phocka like you lol

Cotto is a veteran fighter, I doubt he will overtrain. Funny when people say that Floyd is going to go in and blow Cotto out. Floyd is not that type of fighter, what makes Floyd so good is that he is a true student of the sport for Floyd is like speaking a 2nd language, it comes natural, no current boxer has more knowledge than him in the ring. He is ultra efficient doesnt waste punches and doesnt bounce around and waste energy. He is about being in the right place at the right time, It will be a tactical match that Cotto is going to loose. But Cotto will have his moments in this fight and this is boxing so 1 good punch can change everything.

Ok now that's cleared up, we can sort out the Pacquiao vs Mayweather argument

[Slip Stream]

WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) considers his upcoming defense against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) as the biggest fight of his career. Cotto advised Raul Alzaga that he already started training for the May 5th clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Cotto's trainer, Pedro Diaz of Cuba, is already in Puerto Rico and the training has officially begun.

"I'll Be in The Best Condition For Mayweather!" Oh really? Now's the time when you're gonna show up in the best shape of your life? So when Margarito pummeled you like a skank ho you weren't really in all that good of shape? And when Manny Pacquiao made your face look like an episode of the X-Files you weren't in the right place or it wasn't an important enough fight for you to come in at your best?

C'mon "Hamburger," just save us all a lot of time and climb in between two slices of bread with some pickles and cheese.
