Cotto didn’t have as much a problem with functioning at the weight as he did listening to HBO & the fans telling him that he was the next Trinidad. He side stepped his boxing abilities & started standing & trading foolishly in the pocket.

Watch those fights & watch Cotto when the crowd get’s wiley…he get’s stupid & he get’s clocked.
I agree 100%. That constant comparison with Tito could make him change his style and start taking more risks, and more shots from his opponents. At the beginning Cotto used a lot more counter punching to the body, boxing more, wearing his opponents, winning by KO, but not with the same impressive KO's that Tito used to. And, he has to be careful with this.
