    Early in his career he used to be a "body shot" specialist, but of late he doesn't seem to utilize that any more since the Judah fight. Anyone else noticed? He should use it more.

    People have to sit down on it to throw most good bodyshots. Cotto(e) has been forced to rely more on "boxing" ever since moving up in weight and facing bigger stronger opponents.

    What the poster above me said, he hasn't really been able to get inside like he used to. He is now facing bigger and better compitition, and is forced to move more

    Watch his fight with Foreman, he used a nice body shot to put him down there, people want to talk about the leg problem, but it was a body shot that put him down for the count

    Because his opponents started throwing uppercuts like madmen forcing him to resort to other options.

    I think it had more to do with his bad knee.

    Come to think of it Cotto as of late has fought opponents that are handicapped...:lol:
