Does Cotto lack that concentration to be great?

[Majesty]

But if he improves his stamina he could box like he was in the first 6 rounds for the whole fight.

I don't think it was a stamina issue. I think it's the pressure Margarito was putting him that became to much. People need to watch the fight understand that Cotto didn't decided to fight off the back foot. He didn't go the ropes by choice. Margarito forced him. I gave Cotto the first 5 rounds. But it was obvious from the second round that he couldn't hurt Margarito. But Margarito could. Cotto gassed out because of the pressure Margarito put on him. That won't change in the rematch. Cotto can't win cuz Cotto can't hurt him

Do you think Williams hurt Margarito?

Alright it comes down to style.

Cotto's style and the reason he wins fights is because he can walk down his opponents and makes them submit to his pressure.

And opponents he hasnt been able to do that against he didnt look his best, Ndou for example.

Cotto's style looks best and is most effective when he can impose his will and walk down whoever he is fighting.

The thing is he couldnt walk down Margarito yet Margarito could hurt him and walk him down. Margarito took everything about Miguel's style and still had more to hurt him so there really is nothing Cotto can do differently in a rematch because his style is to walk you down, he can't walk down Margarito so he isn't going to beat him.


As far as Paul Williams go it isnt in his style to walk down someone so whether he could hurt Margarito or not didn't matter because it isnt his style. His style is to outhustle and keep a high work rate which he can do without hurting you.

Miguel on the other hand needs to walk down his opponent and make them submit, he cant do it to margarito so there isnt anything he can do different.
