Cotto got this if this fight happend back in 2005 it woulda been a brawl but now cotto will be the only aggressor floyd will have moments but will stick to 16 punches or less per round I just dont want cotto to get robbed on the cards

I think it is more important that he is just in phenomenal shape, fighting shape where he could fight 15 rounds if need be. I like how diaz is also working on his reflexes, fast twitch muscles, etc.

Imo, cotto will probably weigh somewhere between 150-152, and come to the ring between 160-165.

Would have to agree with you there. If he slows down, he'll get stopped and Floyd's going to want it to happen quicker than the 11th.

The intangible for me is Mr. Diaz. As far as counter punching goes it's pretty much Floyd and then Cuba!

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.

I agree with that. Just obviously not now. Now he just can stay in shape, sharp, and like you said - talk strat and watch tapes. But definitely I would like to see Miguel on 24/7 running at a higher pace or at least doing something that would suggest to me he won't gas out after 12 rounds of punching at Floyd -- big factor in my opinion on this fight is about how he trains.

Any takers on the question in my sig?

What's the your sig about?

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.

One in the forums about his new tattoo. He doesn't look that small to me, but cameras do add pounds supposedly. Anyway, the point of this article was to tell people that he DID NOT get fat celebrating the Cheato win with his moms home-cooking, like he has previously. Not the opposite. And this was just what I felt. It's the fight of his life and he's treating it as such. He is preparing because he needs to be mentally and physically ready for anything Floyd brings. Floyd as said before, will want to make this a technical match but Cotto has to get ready now to learn to either A) Stay busier than him if it IS a technical match or B) Be prepared to be the aggressor without trying to simply walk Floyd down. I have a feeling they are working on several game-plans though.

Cotto needs to cut out the homestyle meals or other junk food if he wants to get rid of his stamina issues. If not, he'll only be alive for up to 4 to 6 rounds, which Floyd is counting on.

Cotto will need several plans as Mayweather will adjust his game plan if Cotto is getting his way and then Cotto will have to change things up.

floyd is a consummate pro. he is/will not rely on cotto gassing after 6 rounds. he will be prepared to go 15 rounds if need be and thats what seperates floyd from the rest of the fighters. that plus his incredible boxing acumen.
