(ESPN) Kieran Mulvaney - Cotto Can Channel Castillo

[Syf]

Cotto shies away from getting hit... Castillo didn't. Cotto is more a boxer puncher nowadays than a brawler and he's never really been a volume puncher.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

So I guess Floyd is going to channel his injured rotator cuff.

[Danny Gunz]

Cottos got a really strong jab, he has knocked down several fighters with his jab alone. If he can land it (which he probably wont) it could make this fight interesting.

[~AK49~]

Cotto isn't Castillo.

Especially not this one.

Castillo didn't run. Cotto will.

True...in the sense that cotto is more skilled than castillo could ever dream of...

Cotto's Left

Cotto is naturally a lefty that is why he hits so hard with it!
Just ask Clottey!

[bojangles1987]

Cotto and Castillo are both Hispanic and have shaved heads.

Cotto=Castillo.

Jesus Chavez

Carlos Hernandez

also gave floyd problems

and looking back at old floyd fights he doesn't look the smaller man against his opponets

[ELHURACAN58]

but imo cotto cant channel castillo, hes just not that skilled on the inside to do it. and contrary to popular belief, floyd has gotten much better on the inside since those fights to the point where hes clearly one of the best in the sport. sure thats the only way for cotto to win, but its not gonna leave any room for error on his part tho. and cotto is full of errors, has always been.

Othe other hand he also has lost a lot of speed since his fight with Castillo. Floyd not being able to box like he used to will help Cotto a lot in this fight.

Not sure. They're about as skilled as each other IMO.

Cotto is a better boxer but Castillo is the much more skilled inside fighter.
