Cotto not wasting time, already starts training camp for pacquiao clash!

good news, he could use the extra stamina....honestly i think he's only gonna benefit from the catchweight and being written off as "damaged goods"

 

That's a long camp, but he should be in phenomenal condition. My initial senses tell me Pacquiao will win because of speed and what I consider Cotto's possible dwindling punch resistance, and most importantly, I am still personally uncertain of his mentality since the Margarito fight. I thought perhaps I saw hints of it against Clottey but he didn't try to push Cotto like he should have.

With all these things considered, I am like 50/50 on the fight. Cotto has some advantages too so it's tough to call for certain right now but I lean towards Pacquiao's speed being maybe the biggest factor, but Cotto could off-set it with his tremendous left-hand (mainly the jab), if he sticks to a good game plan.

 

Good . . . he is already working on his stamina, that means he is raring to fight.

 

I hope he doesn't overtrain, 3-4 months is a long camp.

 

You have to really admire Cotto's tenacity. He took a beating some fighters would never come back from, but his reaction is to take a very tough fight with Clottey then start an intense training camp for Pac-man.

Cotto will make the weight very easy I think, and I'm glad that will not come into play. If Pacquiao wins then it doesn't take away from his victory. Cotto made 146 last time and with such a long camp, 145 should be very easy.

 

That would be my only concern. He should just gradually increase the intensity rather than going full-go from the start.

 

EXACTLY:good:good

 

Hell yeah i think cotto takes this one!!!!

 

sound good

 

Thats my MAN ------ dont know why there is such a big leaning towards Manny ---- Miguel is going to prove to be tooooo strong !!!:smoke

 

****, do you really think so.

I'd have him blasting it for four months.

Sorry Jeff, it seemed a little obvious. However, if he's doing road work now, its presumably to ensure he enters camp at a reasonable weight and not bloated.

As a professional athlete, I personnally think aside from the odd 7-14 days rest, these guys should be in the gym ticking over all the time.

Just cranking it up for 8 weeks ahead of a fight.

I'm going to patent it as the Don't listen to Ricky plan.

 

You better train hard Cotto, or the hypercane will eat you :yep.

 

Stamina will not be an issue. Cotto will be stalking Pac all night. Cotto is to big to strong and to sound a fighter for Pac. I would be a little worried for Cotto if Pac had the technical skills of a Mayweather or judah.

 

He cant afford not to make weight thats a mill he would be losing. He wants to be at 145 weeks before the fight.
