Does anyone seriously think PAC will beable to even try "out box" cotto?

[Kalion]

do you know the reason why Pac didn't brawl with DLH??

it will be the same with Cotto






Please tell me why should i be more dumber than this comment?

Because you are. Even the dumbest ******* knows that manny doesnt have surperior "boxing skills". What he does have is a deadly set of brawling skills, brawling skills that he has acquried over a long career, Skills that have allow him to have a chance in a fight against someone of Cottos caliber. He just like Hatton or Gatti, pure brawler.

DLH should even be mentioned in this thread he could barely throw a punch he looked tired from rd 1. Now Pac cannot out box Cotto thats a given. His best chance is to try to bang and get out before Cotto can counter, Now for him to come in he is going to have to make it past Cottos heavy jab, if you see Pac's head getting snaped back in the early rounds you know he is going to get phucked up..if he can come in at will and hit Cotto with power shots and Cottos cant establish his jab, then you know Cotto is going to get phucked up..lol..this is going to be a great fight.

He cut his teeth at 126-130 fighting MAB, EM and JMM all of whom I consider better boxers than Cotto.

IMO, that was THE division of the decade. These are not one off fights either that other boxers can say. He's had a Trilogy, and faced the other two TWICE. That's a lot of big fight experience with the best, and that little dude is more sophisticated than you think. Pacquiao is a very disciplined fighter. He still high energy, but fights in controlled spurts now. Moving up he's had to change style since guys are a lot bigger, and discovered his feet. It's funny seeing JM and Pac move up. JM is changing a little to more offensive, and Pac is rounding out more defensively.

Cotto is a very good boxer himself, but is he any better than MAB? The difference is Cotto combines very good boxing skills, and strength which Pac has never seen before.

Who said he has no chance?

the people who say:

"manny is too small for WW."

"cotto is too big. manny will be destroyed."

"manny has never felt true WW power."

those are the people who give pac little to no chance.

Pacquiao is leagues ahead of prime Hatton and Gatti(R.I.P).

That is very debatable. Pacman boxing skills is quite poor. It's his athleticism that gets him through and his weaken opponent.

Pac hasn't felt true WW power, would you argue with that? But Cotto has never seen true "Paquiao" speed. I give both fighters a chance and believe its a great fight. Im pretty sure your refering to Puerto Rican Cotto fans who are no worse than Fillipino Pacquiao fans who give Cotto little to no chance.
