Nonsense. He was able to pummel the **** out of Margarito, so his power is definitely there. Stamina-wise, it all depends on his opponent. Cotto crumbles against consistent aggressive opponents with power, that's NOT Mayweather's fighting style. If he doesn't have the "life" he would have lost the rematch against Concreto, because whether you like to admit it or not, Concreto was trying all the way.
Cotto is right.... I'm sure we all know Cotto isn't talking about mindless pressure but more strategically applied pressure. Floyd has trouble sometimes with pressure.... But he's such a cool customer that most who try to pressure Floyd don't mix it up and Floyd finds his pocket where he finds and create counters as fluid as water. Cotto better have his stamina in check because the kind of fight plan it will take to beat Floyd requires someone who has great stamina.
That would be the correct gameplan. People like ssj and bogotozo suggesting he should box Mayweather are laughable. But yeah everythings reflex for Mayweather now,
I wonder what he means by don't let him think. Hopefully it means he launches a lot of jabs, feints, and movement. If he means to to go balls to the walls punching aggression it doesn't matter if Floyd can't think because he doesn't have to, its second nature for him to react. That would end terribly for Cotto.
In other words, he's saying that he's gonna turn it into a street fight and brawl all the way till the end stretch and finish line, isn't it? Well, he has the goods to turn a fight ugly and physically breathtaking, so hard that you don't even have the time to think for a damn second and get into ur boxing stance and let combos fly. However, Floyd has shown that he's naturally gifted to think and move away from traffic and still leave one solid blow fly on the way out, remeber Hatton and the check left hook near the corner? I believe Cotto should turn it into a physical demanding fight and impose his strength and some brutality to get that edge that will make Floyd hold up his punches and step back or aside just enough to lose one round here and one round there. However, if Cotto is gonna forget about boxing and rush in like a bull all night long... Even Zab was able to make his head spin and his face painted with blood in the very first round and Floyd may be as fast as Zab and possibly holds those stiffer str8 punches that can really damage this deserving opponent, nothing like against Ortiz but rounds will weight on Cotto's shoulders if he doesn't take a breather and box a bit.
