If you're Cotto what strategy do you employ?!

[Pavlik]

I love cotto but cannot see any way whatsoever that barring boxings one punch's that he can even get remotely close to beating Floyd.

What the hell kind of strategy can he produce to do something like this? I can see Mayweather ripping uppercuts through that crab guard and stopping cotto mid rounds - Which I would definetly not want to see! How can cotto turn the tables with his set of attributes?!?

First of all, I would have to work on Cotto's endurance I would have him able to throw hundreds of punches per round. Go back to the body like he used to.
1. Workrate
2. Bodypunching

PBF right now does have an air of invincibility, I dunno really.

Good question.
What Pavlik says but Cotto needs to look at the tape of the 1st Castillo fight to see how a limited fighter can impose his will on Floyd. Also the Oscar fight cuz for 6 rounds it was working ofr the old man.
Cotto doesnt have the speed or southpaw stance of Judah or Corley who both stated well but faded. Its going to have to be grit and determination cuz he cant look pretty doing it and Cotto has always liked doing it at his own pace.

Castillo and De La Hoya used the jab against Mayweather. Castillo got robbed in their first bout, OScar was going somewhere till he did drop the jab and that his crap endurance got over. Cotto will be bigger and stronger physically, what I'd do is jab Mayweather to death (and Cotto has a very good jab, very good power and is quite fast), pressure him and hit the body with these vicious hooks, especially because his body is always a bit vulnerable in the shoulder roll stance.

I really believe Cotto has his chances in that one and if Manny could bolt his head to death (while he was trained by a nutritionist), I doubt that pillow fisted FLoyd could really hurt him and will have to (if he wins) get the already known UD ticket.

Utilize the jab, dig to the body, and know Floyd is going to try and counter the right cross with a roll and counter right hand of his own so if you can feint and counter with a left hook you could really do damage.

pretend to be hurt and when Floyd comes in for the kill go for the Haymaker. One chance KO thats all hes got.
