Yes, Cotto could have won. But he didn't. And why ? Because Manny Pacquiao has the camp from hell, and a trainer that truly does his job when preparing his fighter for an upcoming fight. Not just in physical training, but in putting together a fight plan. Watching videos hour after hour of the guy his guy is going to fight, looking for flaws, openings, habits, movement, and so forth. Then putting a plan together so his fighter can counter any attack thats mounted against him. It takes years to be a complete fighter, even with natural talent. And it takes years to obtain the knowledge to become a great trainer. Theres no secret here. Cotto is a very good hard punching hard working fighter. But hes not a thinking fighter. Hes a brawler and that will only take you so far. Manny is a very smart, thinking fighter. He can box, Counter punch, or stand toe to toe. And most of all, he listens to his corner and the advice of Freddy Roach.
