I wonder how much of a difference it really makes to be honest. I mean Cotto is pretty vulnerable anyways, but he was never hurt by Mosley, and Margarito who I have never thought had great power was able to break him down with punches that landed a lot less cleanly. Regardless I think Margarito's power comes from the fact he is so accurate with his punches whne his opponent is one the ropes, he was really able to land almost every punch in combinations where Cotto was on the ropes as the fight progressed.
See the thing is,you really have to commit to punches like an overhand cross, or a big uppercut.
You take a shot like what might have happened if his wraps were like that,you find yourself quickly considering the joys of your jab and tight hooks,and trying to time the guy
