And it was mostly because his nose was broke early on and that limited his breathing. He has good stamina, maybe not legendary, but still good enough.
A giant vag above his eye from a Clottey headbutt may have had something to do with the way he fought.
Fraud wont go for the KO! He's a counter puncher and he doesn't have the killer instinct to stop Cotto!
What makes you think Cotto cant KO Mayweather? If Mosley could hurt him with one punch than Cotto surely has the capability. Yeah I would say Mosley probably has a little more power in his punches but Cotto is no slouch in the power department. Mayweather while being great in everything, has been buzzed by one punch on other occasions as well. So this might be his achilles heel, he is definetely no Margo in the chin department.
I hold a great amount of admiration for both fighters and what they bring to the ring. Cotto's underrated ability to adjust will decide the outcome of this fight. I can obviously understand the why the majority of posts point towards Cotto having no chance but lets take a look at Floyds previous opposition the most technically skilled fighter he has faced would be DLH and DLH lacked the ability to concentrate on his jab and never was a great ring cutter, two abilities Cotto can utilize to his advantage. Floyd is far from a pressure fighter so he will allow time to think, adjust and implement different tact. Cotto has a knack for understanding who's he's facing and molding his strategy on a fly instead of forcing what's not working (at least on the offesnsive side) and Pac's dominant preformance had more to do with the speed and angles in which he delivers his punches, Floyd does not present the same challenge his delivery is much more orthodox. I implore the good majority of you to rethink this fight, its surely not a gimmie for Mr. May. With that being said...at this current moment in time I side with PBF by UD/SD
This is a terrible fight.. A mis-match! Booo... I hope Canelo fights Sugar shane on the undercard! That would be 10 times better than the main event!
i think Ortiz is physically stronger than Cotto as well. People doesn't react well to Ortiz's punches. He has dropped everyone he has face except floyd.
