COTTOs Body Work has been Poor lately, and nobodies able to get to PACQUIAO's body...

[Kball15]

COTTO wasnt able to get to Margarito's body, He never really landed that big left hook to the body against Mosley.

He did a decent job going to the body against Clottey, but Clottey just stood there.

And then on the flipside, Pacquiao is almost never hurt to the body. IN recent fights he is never worn down or hurt from a consistant body attack. He just moves around to quickly and too well, and he avoids the ropes very well too.

Pacquiao is much more difficult to hit then he is given credit for. Although all of pacmans opponents recently have been slow, and Cotto is by far the the fastest opponent Pacquiao has fought above 130 pounds

Point being, If Cotto isnt able to work the body i dont think he will be able to win the fight. And judging from both fighters histories, it's an uphill battle working the pacmans ribs.

Thoughts?

I think Cotto will have a time in there trying to catch Pac... DLH certainly did.

But Pac does look a LITTLE slower than he did against DLH, judging from his recent training videos.

Are you considering Oscar and Hatton? Marquez is not known for been a big body puncher but got to his body often.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Pacquiao got KO'd twice to the body..

and the only times Cotto hasn't gone to the body has been in the last 2 toughest fights..in where one guy..tucked his arms to his sides and got mangled to the face..I'll tell you now..Pacquiao can NOT take those shots he gave Margarito..and the second one..the guy is known to be a shell and hard to hit clean as it is..

Pacquiao's defense isn't great..and Cotto can still attack good to the body..he's done it to Jennings, Gomez, Judah, Mosley, etc..

Manny is too fast. You can't hit what you can not see.

yea but those shots were counter shots most times, while pacquiao was jumping in.

Cotto isnt much of a counter puncher.

dont even compare judah to pac. pac will be moving in and out while judah stood his ground. good movement and punches in bunches from angles will beat cotto because he is flat footed.

I know, Judah is a lot bigger and has a way better deffense.
