    1.keep the fight in the center of the ring, not back peddling from one side of the ring to the other.(he has to have mor respect for mayweather's fighting style not, you have to be a cardio beast to fight a full 12 like that against a bigger man)

    2. little body work of his own might have slowed down the pace of margo if he would have taped that belly a little bit more.

    3. really if cotto can go the full 12 with margo he could get a ud over him.

    bottom line for me is just use the jab and keep it in the center of the ring, and when he moves not to go straight back but to move in angles and circles.margo only got to him when cotto was on the ropes, so thats should be his main focus, dont be scared of the pocket.he is the shorter man and would do better in and out of margos chest as suppose to just flurries when hes caught on the ropes.

    this is hard to do but he needs to set the pace, margo had him all over the ring even when he was looking good, theres a few things i would suggest.he might not stop margo but it would get him through the whole 12 rds !

    Control the fight with the jab. Set the pace. Keep the fight in the middle of the ring. 500% more bodywork.

    My advice to Cotto - don't take the fight. Fight Kermit Cintron instead. Cotto will never defeat Margarito.

    :rofl

    use more jab, keep Margo at bay and use more lateral movements instead of running backwards during late rounds.

    as a fan of both fighters, this is just a bad matchup for cotto. cotto sets the tone by being able to back up his oponnent. that is simply not going to happen with margarito. too damn big and too damn strong.

    He has to take cheap rounds. That means controlling the action by limiting it.

    Lead with straights/crowd and hold (avoid the uppercuts, of course). Don't let Margarito throw more than 2 punches in a row. When he stops to rest, fire off flashy combos and then move. Rinse and repeat. The only exception is that in the last 4 rounds he should rest the first 2 minutes and save all the flash for the last minutes.

    Don't get knocked out.

    You tell him to hire Mayweather Sr. or Roger Mayweather to be his trainer.

    I dont think there is anything he could do better, there is no way for him to keep his distance for 12 rounds and he is not strong enough to clinch hell be eating upper cuts after 3 rounds trying to clinch and it will drai his energy even more

    Unless he has a 6-2 frame and catches Margs on a night where he wont fight untill the 6th

    Cotto wont win I hope they rematch since the stereroid lie was confirmed

    Touch em downstairs.... When you feel the rounds are close, start throwing combinations... Until then... sit down on your punches and give me a double left hook to the body... Also, give me some lateral movement... keep you away from those uppercuts.... touch em with the jab to the chest, and dig into the body...
