Cotto's probably at his best when he's boxing from outside. I think the beatings he's took in his career, and the entertainment he's already given, mean that he's earned the right to box how he likes, in the way that is most effective and fruitful.
I would prefer him to use what ever style that gets the job done. If boxing is more effective then use it, if brawling is more effective for his opponent then by all means use that to. I do believe if he boxed Pac instead of brawling he would of won.
:good, he's already paid his dues and made fans. People who support him just want to see him win now.
