What do you want Guys Mayweather vs Cotto or Mayweather vs Pacquiao?

-->Cotto’s plan sounds great in theory, especially when facing the typical boxer/counter puncher. When you are technically outgunned and facing this style of fighter, the goal is to overwhelm the great defense your opponent has with insurmountable offense. Score points and do not allow the counter puncher to calculate a plan, essentially, pressure busting pipes.

Mayweather however, is a different case. Although primarily thought of as a defensive, counter puncher, he has a style that can adapt to his opponent, and in recent fights has looked more like a boxer/ puncher as opposed to strictly a counter puncher, because of how he has walked down his opponents.

His last two fight against Victor Ortiz and Shane Mosley, he kept the fight center of the ring and took the fight to his opponents, similar to how he fought when he was a super feather weight and a light weight back in his younger days.

Looking at Mayweather’s career, pressure fighters usually meet an unfortunate demise when applying pressure against him. It’s like blindly walking into a lion’s den. Ask Jesus Chavez or Ricky Hatton for instance. Two premier pressure fighters, who basically set up shop in Mayweather’s backyard, fought to their heart’s content, but in the end fell victim to the surprisingly skillful inside fighting and precise punching of Mayweather, ultimately succumbing to knock outs in the later rounds.

Cotto is an intelligent man, a consummate professional, a dignitary in and out the ring, and based on his personality, the recent resurgence in his career and new found discipline established with his trainer Pedro Diaz, Cotto probably intends to apply intelligent pressure and not just walk into a hell fire of punches.

This intelligent pressure includes attacking behind the jab, cutting off the ring instead of chasing Mayweather, offering different angles and great head movement, feinting, and if in a position to land punches, attack with combinations primarily to the body more so than the head, so he can wear Mayweather down.

The problem is obviously, it’s easier said than done and Cotto lacks the tools to effectively execute his plan. He lacks the foot speed and tact to effectively cut off the ring, because he has not displayed the ability to do so in recent fights. Ask yourself when is the last time Cotto successfully cut off the ring? Or at least against a noteworthy opponent because I’m not going to include Michael Jennings. You would have to go back years, to his fights against Carlos Quintana and Zab Judah which took place in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
