I just dont get the whole arguement people are trying to make in Cotto being too big and strong for Manny. Both have identical reaches. Both are 5'6"-5'7" and while cotto is a little bit more solidly built than manny, they are basically the same size.
What I don't get is the whole myth on Cotto having power. Some power, but nothing overwhelming. Whether Tony cheated or not, one thing is for sure, he completley dispelled any ideas of cotto having power, by him eating power shot after power shot (then only to be KTFO by a shot mosley).
Also in the fight with glass jaw judah and an old shane mosley, his power wasn't there. Outside of bums, when has Cotto ever displaying elite punching power.
If the two fought Manny will finish him within 10 rounds by stoppage. Here are 8 reason why:
1. Pac is faster and will catch cotto plenty of times. That uppercut on him vs judah will be a repeated theme through out the fight. One in which Cotto is getting caught with suprise punches.
2.Pac is too elusive for cotto to impose his will with body shots. Pac has the side to side movement that will drive cotto nuts , in turn making cotto start head hunting.
3. Pac is the type of fighter than can easily box for 15 rounds plus, while cotto has serious issues with stamina.
4. Cotto isnt the type of fighter to wrestle and muscle you around the ring with strength. Just not his style
5. Cotto has a tendancy to engange in toe to toe combat and that plays right into manny's favor.
6. Pac has had success in wars (several) were he was very successful in fighting that type of style. Cotto has not
7.Cotto lacks the discipline to stick to a gameplan designed to beat manny. Manny is more patient, will pick his spots, while cotto cockyness will make him want to fight to prove a point.
8. Pac is faster, is the more accurate and BIGGER puncher, and will put on a clinic vs cotto.
to me this won't even be close.
Pac man's power << cotto's power

i just think that you are a pac man's fan...you are not been real in you comments...come on man, Cottos it's the real welter here....you will see.
Pac is too small for Cotto and would get KTFO by him.
u never know. pac pulls upsets all the time. everybody usually doubts him against bigger fighters. even i doubted him with his last 2 fights but he just continued to surprise me so i would not doubt pacman winnign against cotto.
everyone is forgeting how well pac adjusts to moving up in weight. you will see that there wont be much difference between cotto and pac, its not like he is facing a margarito. this is the reason i am confident because all that extra weight on cotto will just slow him down alot more and pac will be fast and furious. cant wait i got pac by late stoppage.
Pac at 130 was weight drained too. Pac at 140-147 was a perfect fit. Cotto can't Stopped a Granite chinned opponents like Pauli & Mosley & margacheato. Mosley can stop Cheato who Cotto can't. Mosley can't stop DLH but Pac can. No matter how you knit it together, Pac still ends up in top of the power rankings.
Paq was drained at 130 when he came into professional boxing at 106?
first of all dats retarted cotto at 140 was weight drained and wasnt as good as he is now at 147 second cotto ****ed paulie up bad broke a bone in his eye and ****ed him up bad left him disconfigured. Third you say stopped like he knocked him out he didnt they threw in the towel cause there was no way paulie could have won but he wasnt getting ko'd plus paulie wasnt even the same after he fought cotto. The man had 2 close fights with N'dou . N fourth and best one of all THE TRIANGLE THEORY DOESNT WORK IN BOXING

your in way over your head if you think Manny hits harder than Cotto.
1 Manny doesnt have a good uppercut. Cotto has a great one
2J MM was able to hit manny at will, manny is not floyd mayweather. Cotto can be elusive as well.
3 Manny isnt that good of a boxer he relies on speed and is an in and out fighter. Cotto is more fundamentaly sound, and if manny backs up it wont be good for him because Cotto will corner and punish him.
4 Cotto wont need to wrestle Manny we all saw how good that worked when Hatton tried it
5 If they go toe to toe Manny wont last 3, pretty dumb to say it would favor Manny
6 Cotto loves wars and always wins them unless plaster of paris is involved
7 Cotto has ALOT of dicipline, that is what he is known for. Have you seen Cotto fight by any chance?
8 Pac is NOT a bigger puncher than Cotto delusional pac fan. And timing beats speed, which is something Mosley and Judah found out. Cotto has a great jab and skills which will overwhelm Manny.
Your right dude this shit isnt even close Cotto destroys this guy.
i totally agree. Like jim lampley says the cotto jab is an off beat jab he hits you with it when you are not expecting it and if you have seen a cotto fight he knocked down an elite granite chin fighter clottey down with it no bumb
Pacman's defeats from his early years are a distant memory. Pac is totally fearless and will tear cotto apart.
Cotto still has lingering doubts in his mind from the Margarito nightmare. Cotto is dead no matter what weight they fight at.
cotto is too big for pac, why are people talking about this?
but if roach gets the perfect gameplan and pac follows through and lands a punch like the one he landed on hatton, cotto gets KTFO.
but pac is too small for hatton.
Cotto stops Pacman in 9. Pacman can only beat him by out hustling him imo.
- Cotto's a MW on fight night.
- Can box and can actually apply the kind of things Sr. was trying to show Hatton, he's just not a speed demon, but he ain't no snail either and he has great timing.
- Has taken it on the jaw at 147 from Judah, Mosley and a more than likely plastered up Margarito.
- He's real good at putting on pressure when he's not the smaller man. From the little we saw from Hatton, Manny doesn't seem to comfortable being crowded.
- Hits hard, something Margarito gave him hella credit for, and was visibly shocked by how hard he hit after their fight.
Now, he may hit harder than Cotto, Roach said he hit harder than Oscar even when he had him for the Mayweather fight so...
but Cotto is too well rounded outside of his stamina starting to give late in fights for Manny to beat him if they went toe to toe imv.
some of you need to start looking at this logically.if anything, thier power and hand speed is pretty even.cotto has been fighting much bigger oppoents than manny has that's 1.
2, what manny has been able to do recently is improve his defense dramatically, and the way he has, is in a similar way to way ali use to.
pac has some quick ass feet, and very good upper body movement that's always been there.the guy has just manage to put everything together.
Pacquiao is impressive but i'll say this, I still have to see him take/absorb punishment from any quality welterweight to even say that he can hang or dominate in that block. Margarito might have ate up Cotto's head shots but he didn't receive any good body shots which no one can argue, Cotto is known for. So the question is can Pacquiao take punishment at that level from any other quality welterweight? That he has yet to prove. We'll see....
I really dont know for certain. Pacquiao power comes mostly from his speed, but Cotto chops fighters down like a tree. You also have to realize that Cotto has been fighting bigger fighters. while mannys record comes mostly from the lighter divisions. Still manny has a good punch, but i'm not sure he will be knocking out real welter weights, while I believe Cotto can.
I mean that is the popular thing to say. But I like looking at facts, and facts are cotto hasnt showed overwhelming power in any of his fights(outside of b level to bum fighters).
Pac has brought it to great chin boxers with devasting results.
Marquez
Diaz
Morales
Barrera
De la hoya
Hatton
the list goes on and on. While cotto power is only on display against the jennings, and gomez of boxing. I like cotto and got him over everyone expect pac and pwill. I just wanna dispelled the myth of him having the power advantage over pac which obvioulsy isnt true.
DLH and Morales shouldn't be on that list, they were both washed by the time they fought in wars for years. While he hurt Marquez both hurt each other. Diaz come on, Diaz lost to a shot Morales but got the nod. Hatton has been hit or miss for ever, but we haven't seen a good Hatton since Tszyu really.
Pac is a special fighter but Cotto hits hard. Pac IMO has a real shot at Cotto but if Cotto lands anything Pac hits the mat. Pac has got hurt by much smaller punchers then Cotto.
Pac wins with a lot of little punches that accumulates but he does have pop. A good example is how he threw 127 punches in 2 rounds. He overwhelms opponents with speed and some power but he isn't a one punch knock out artist by any means. Tszyu was a one punch power master. Cotto has enough power to stop him.
I think that Pac has a lot on his plate at 147, he should stick with 140 for a bit. Beating a shot DLH was not impressive.
