Originally posted by BennyST View PostMan, I don't know why these guys continue to think Pac is a small guy. As Nazeem Richardson said he couldn't believe Pacquiao ever made it down to 135 let alone anything under that. He was stunned that such a big guy was able to fight at anything below lightweight after he met him so I don't know why Santiago would be taking things this way, just as Hatton did too and he got knocked the f.uck out because he thought he would go in there and be twice the size and just be able to shove him around and batter him down. Of course Pacquiao actually had a longer reach and was the same height and ended up showing more power too than Hatton. So, the whole little guy thing should have been well and truly out the window by now.
If Cotto thinks the same as Hatton he's going to be in for a rude awakening come Nov. When he gets hit with a hard shot, when he won't be able to toos Manny about like FW and when he realises that Pac has the same height and has the same reach as he does, he might start thinking about the fight differently, but if he does that on fight night it'll already be over for him.
I think that will end up being one of the big factors in this fight. If Cotto really does think he's going in with a much smaller guy and will have such a huge advantage it's going to end up a long night for him. The only thing that will different about their size on fight night will be Cotto's maybe five pound difference at the most, which won't add up to anything. Pac weighed five pounds more than Marquez in each of his fights and that didn't help him.
Pac will be the same size as Cotto and he will also be faster and even punch maybe as hard as Cotto. Not only that but he will be quicker on his feet too. I think Cotto might have trouble if he trains the same way that Hatton obviously did for his fight with Pac. It was pretty obvious that Hatton thought nothing would be able to hurt him and that he would just steamroll Pac. This could end up a disaster for Cotto if he goes down the same path. I hope his trainer is not really that stupid, as this article suggests. Cotto is a very small WW and Pac is a good size 140 pound fighter as evidenced by his fight with Hatton in which he wasn't the noticeably smaller guy and Hatton was a pretty decent sized 140 pounder himself. So, Santiago thinking this way might end up being a really stupid thing for his fighter. If he thinks that the speed and power of Pac won't be difficult to handle they will be in for some trouble.
