I'll repeat this because I know you will ignore it for the rest of the thread: OK. Lets make this REALLY simple. Stalking Mayweather = Gatti, Corrales, Judah, De La Hoya. Pressuring Mayweather = Chavez, Hatton and Castillo. Which was more effective?
I don't agree with your analysis so how can I answer you question. That's like asking me, do you like a girl with a flat ass or one with no ass.
Cotto has fought guys like Malignaggi, Quintana, Judah and Mosley. All boxers in preparation for Mayweather. :bbb
Both styles are equally effective. It's Cotto's size and punching power that will give him a better chance. He's a more natural welterweight and it showed in his fights vs Mosley, Judah and Quintana. His punches had some serious sting. Ricky couldn't hurt Collazo.
