    name one fight where cotto pressure effectively.. he relies strictly on his punching power

    He relies on his punching power to create space, when fighter do not respect cotto punching power he is leas likely to press .. example shane , torres

    he has questionable stamina when forced to go the distance .. example shane

    he also unable to press effectively against fighter with good foot work, against Pauli, cotto was unable to cut off the ring effectively ..

    cotto is a stocker with good punching power , a skilled pressure fighter he is not.

    Stop right there, he has a more explosive jab than Oscar. Watch the Shane Mosley fight and you will see my point. Cotto can also switch southpaw and give Floyd different looks. I think Cotto can beat him.

    Shane is not very good defensively and we all know that. Mayweather's defense is two or three times better.

    LOL, Floyd fans are funny. Castillo clearly out worked Mayweather and won. Keep on denying it. :bart

    Can't stop an explostive jab coming at your face at a good speed. Cotto aint the fastest but he aint slow.

    again cotto get too much credit for switching to south paw , against Shane the south paw style only kept shane from advancing , cotto is not a solid enough technically at this style to beat floyd with it.

    he didn't shane with anything significant you dope , that why he switched back to orthodox ..
    shane is too smart of a fighter to be fooled by a tactic like that for long ..

    and let get one thing straight cotto boxing skill do not compare to floyd's at all, his only equalizer is his punching power ..

    if you want to see a master switcher see marvin ..
