Can Cotto handle Pacquiao's Power + Work rate?

Poll is 50-50%

Maybe Cotto's punches hit harder then Manny's, we don't now. But I think Freddie's gonna make sure Pacquao can handle them with ease by bringing in some top hard-hitting middleweights as his sparring partners. Lets get it on. War Pac! :boxing:

Hell I wouldn't be worried about Pac's power if I'm a Cotto fan. Moreso the fact he throws awesome combos that land clean in bunches. I don't see how Cotto can deal with nonstop leather on his face. Forget Power.......6 rounds of those flurries to the mouth. That has to really subdue anyone. puc cotto can punch if anything..... manny has much to worry about

Or will he be "hatton'd"? Cotto handled Judah and Mosley @147. They hit harder than Pac and are arguably as fast. So yes I say Cotto can handle his speed/power.

he will be hatton'd nah forget that.. cotto will run and quit..hahahahahaahahaah[/QUOT i like pac, hes an islander just like us but i wanna see how he does against non mexican fighters and beer drinking big mac eating engishmen who almost got ko'd against featherfisted luis collazo. i guess cotto will be the closest to a black fighter pac will face for now.

this is an even fight imo..... we know cotto can take a punch, but what about pac? can he take cottos size and power? Hell I wouldn't be worried about Pac's power if I'm a Cotto fan.

IMO Pac wins. He's just the better boxer. Whenever Cotto makes a mistake, Pac makes him pay. Whenever Pac makes a mistake he just throws his hands in the air and plays it off then goes right back to throwing punches.

or if he lands to the face i mean jmm wobbled pacman and cotto hits much harder than him You cold make the case of Judah wobbling Cotto and cutting him mouth, and Pac punches harder then Judah...and at a higher volume.

For me the fight will come down to if Manny can take Cotto's power decently. If he can, he can win by chopping up Cotto's eyes. If not..he will have a bad night. Cotto will land on Manny. He will get some vicious shots in. He will not walk in blindly like Hatton. Cotto did not look great in his last fight, but he was blinded from his eye. I will say this much, this fight will not go the distance. One of them is going to steal the momentum early, run with it and stop the other one at some point. If Cotto uses his jab for timing Manny's rushes, I think he will win. If he does not, Manny will always be a step ahead of him.

cotto has his flaws, but the size advantage is just too much for pac to overcome. if pac thought oscar hit hard, cotto will hurt him. The only way Cotto could hurt pac is if he goes to the body.

and Cotto seems to get bothered by cuts, I mean every fighter does but he's no JMM cotto has his flaws, but the size advantage is just too much for pac to overcome. if pac thought oscar hit hard, cotto will hurt him.

Cotto gets cut pretty easily, and Pacquiao cuts people with his shots. and Cotto seems to get bothered by cuts, I mean every fighter does but he's no JMM

Plus we have to see how Cotto's scar tissue is.. Cotto gets cut pretty easily, and Pacquiao cuts people with his shots.

Lol at the idiots here thinking that Pac is the second coming of Mike Tyson because he KTFO an overated chinny Hatton. I like Pac and he would give Cotto a good fight but Cotto would walk him down and wear him out.

Plus we have to see how Cotto's scar tissue is..

Pacmans speed and style would give almost, ALMOST everyone at 147 trouble

Maybe he can, maybe he can't. I'm going with the latter, he doesn't seem like a guy who deals well with unexpected things in the ring. But then again can Pacquiao handle Cotto's jab and power?

Or will he be "hatton'd"? c'mon guys... mosley, margarito and clottey are big WWs. Pac's not even a WW, he's a jr WW. Pac isn't going to put the same kinda pressure these guys put on cotto. cotto is too big for pac.
