From these statistics we can deduce that both guys get hit about the same (Sergio 822/Cotto 837) given the level of opposition each guy has faced (w/Sergio facing the better overall opposition) in their last six fights. However, Cotto does have the lower landed percentile in part because his opponents have thrown many more punches than Sergio's opponents--naturally each fighter's approach and style also plays a role. Sergio's power has usually resulted in his opponents shelling up and picking and choosing their punches (his constant movement also lowers output) while Cotto's opponents at 154 haven't shown as as much respect for Cotto's power as Sergio's 160 opponents have his--Cotto's fights at 154 have in general been more competitive.
The statistics also exclude Cotto's earlier fights against Pac, Mosley, Margarito I, and Clottey were he got hit a lot more. They also exclude Martinez's stats v. Pavlik, Williams I, Cintron, Bunema. Nevertheless, Cotto's 154 stats and Sergio's more recent stats are likely more relevant to what could take place on June 7th.
