Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
I would tell cotto to win his next fight, then look to berto...margo is done for a while he'll need a tune up before another big fight...
Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
take out berto at the equation at once...forget margarito..he can redeem himself by taking other worthy opponents like ssm and hatton
Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
Cotto is a great fighter. I am a big fan of Margarito also but in that match I was truly disappointed. If I was Cotto's advisor I would definitely take a re-match with Margarito and seriously study Margarito's way of fighting. I think if he did that in the first place this would of never happened. Sometimes these fighters get too cocky that they forget to truly FOCUS!!!
How funny this circle runs.
Cotto Fights Mosley. Cotto prevails.
Margarito fights Cotto. Margarito prevails.
Mosley fights margarito. Mosley Prevails.
So my opinion is this. Every man has his match. No matter how good they are they must go down once or twice. I wonder which one of these can take Pacquiaou.
Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
id warn him that jennings is coming over with absoloutely nothing to lose and genuinely loves to get involved in a good old fashioned scrap.
If cotto is at 50% he`ll have no worrys, any less and it could be a very tricky night for him!!!
Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
Fight Shane Mosley. Forget Antonio Margarito exists. If you can beat the man who beat you it's a redemption of a sort. Maybe Margarito is shot, but maybe he's not. Leapfrog him and you'll make a helluva lot more money and you can get your title back.

It was also those skewering body punches. Did you see how Margarito almost doubled over in the first from a right hook? That's how you beat a guy with no defense. If he'll let you hit him whenever you like, hit him in the body. And Mosley puts a HUGE amount of torque in his hooks.
Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
focus on jennings. If he wins and looks impressive go for the Margarito rematch.
He made Margarito miss plenty through the first rounds of their fight. His mistake was not clinching and not looking for the body. He has a better chance of beating Tony now that Mosely has provided an excellent strategy.
I read they're still looking to fight Margarito in June anyway.

Re: If you were Cotto's closest advisor, what would you tell him now?
Sure it was a tough fight, but before Cotto his lip cut, he was doing to Mosley exactly what Mosley was doing to Margarito, and that was imposing his will on Shane. He was landing way more hard punches than Shane, it Mosley's head not his that was being snapped back. IMO he should fight Shane again his timing, tricky speed, and fundamentals makes this a fight he should be favored to win again.

I never saw Magarito almost double over from any body blows, Shane definitely landed a few hard right hooks, but they were no JLC or Cotto left hook type blows to the body.

If you watch Shane at Lightweight and his earliest Welter days, he was actually a far superior bodypuncher than either of the above.
He dismantled Rivera with bodyshots, a man who had never been stopped by any Welter.....in his first fight at 147!
taeth, have a look at some of his LW fights = beautiful body punching!!!
You'll love it!
