his body attack has been non existent unfortunately the one thing that could help him in the fight... Also have not seen much jabbing... he has been relying on sitting back and countering, but the opponents he has faced were come forward guys. Mayweather is a whole nother game and your not gonna outbox him, it has to be size that will do him in and pressure. I am talking about the current Cotto, the old cotto with the great JAB and body attacker would fare better IMO. Sorry BOGO I respect you a lot and enjoy your posts more then anyone else, but its my opinion.. Bro hug.. :good
what's the point of being better at certain things if those things aren't going to be applied when they actually fight? I strongly doubt Cotto(e) is going to try to play around with switch-hitting or changing stances in the biggest fight of his career against the sharpest shooter in the sport. Disagree about Cotto(e) keeping up an offense after taking many good punches. You won't ever see Mayweather outright run and go into survival mode the way Cotto(e) did against emmanuel.
I don't think this is close. Three years ago when Cotto was the balls I would have gone with him, just based on power, size and his left hook. But know you have to go with the guy whose not spent and that's bradley. Also I think Pacquiao's obviously not the same asian typhoon he was several years ago. Floyd on the other hand still seems to be more ambisous and "in love" with boxing.
Pacquiao's performances in his last fight were not good and this is probably why boxing fans gave Bradley a betterr chance of beating him than Cotto beating Mayweather. I simply understand this.
