A few of these are

feel Miguel is a more one punch guy(Cotto has never been a 1 punch guy,in fact he puts 2s and threes together as well as anyone out there,watch the Judah fight)

preventing him from resting and also imposing his weight on Cotto while he himself grabbed some time. Miguel is able to maintain a ridiculously high pace at WW as seen in the Judah fight and the Shane fight.

Miguel is accustomed to being the one chasing No he's not as was seen in the last 4 rounds of the Mosley fight and his first 20 plus bro bouts. For further evidence see the Ndou,Abdullaev fights.

Cotto is more proven at WW.He has fought stronger/better fighters. He is not as 1 dimensional as Hatton.His handspeed is just as quick.He has a better jab.His bodyshots are more powerful etc etc etc/
None taken Gamo.
It's just a legitimate belief i have.

I believe in the points you've selected that i haven't expressed myself well which is cause for some of your disagreement...it was a bit of a sloppy post.

The entirity of your post there suggested that Miguel was on his way to becoming a complete fighter. (I'm not putting words in your mouth, it's just what i drew from it.)
But i feel that Cotto has a number of flaws in those departments which you defended.
I feel his movement is restricted, i feel his speed is'nt that fantastic and finally i find the pace that he sets at WW has seen him eat shots and i feel this may be exploited against a fresher more dangerous fighter than Zab or Shane.

I'm in total agreement when you say Cotto has had better opposition and proven more at 147, but my belief hasn't been swayed. I legitimately feel Ricky has the tools to beat Cotto.
