Cotto only has 1 loss, and that is to Plasterito!!! Yall need to wake up...Cotto probably does have more flaws than other WW's, but he is not easy to beat.
If that was true then:
Torres would have used his power to KO him, and would have won.
Cotto would not have beat Mosley or it never would have turned out to be that close.
Clottey would have KO'd him or won by UD with that cut above his eye being all fvcked up and all.
Zab would have beat him with speed.
Quintana would have outboxed him like he did Williams the first fight.
Cotto is not an easy opponent to face. Stop the hate, and realize Pac is about to face a warrior.
I mean saying Cotto is easy is basically taking credit away from Pac if he does get the win.
Makes sense! I just don't see where peepz think Cotto would be easier for Pac than Mosley when Cotto beat him. I mean to me there power is about equal, and Cotto is a better boxer since he outboxed him.
cotto should've Ko'd margarito then. Mosley is a better fighter than he was against cotto in NOV, stylisitcally mosley would be tougher than cotto. He's more explosive, quicker, doesn't wilt or fade, doesn't cut, and he has more power.
Well out of the three I like his chances against Cotto the most, in terms of a win. I think he'll have to take some sort of damage from Cotto and Shane.
With Cotto there is an opening for Pacquiao to attack. And Cotto has been in wars 3 out of his last 4 fights. So at some point it will get to him fighting at such a high level.
With Shane, we know one thing his chin is rock solid. Pacquiao could run around the ring and evade Shane. But if he can't get away and stands there toe to toe with Shane he will be cooked.
With Mayweather he'd definitely have to fight a different pace and watch for sharp counters. That fight would be tough mentally not so much physically.
In essence at a healthy weight all of these fights are difficult for Pac. I personally think his best chance is Cotto. I just think that his speed, power, and new found head movement could get him a W over Cotto.
O.K
For arguments sake lets switch Cotto's and Pacquiao's last 2 opponents...
Cotto faced Hatton
And Pacquiao faced Clottey.
Who would be coming off the impressive win then?
That sh!t made me laugh!!! LOL
But he wouldnt be. Mayweather is an easier fight.
Roach has even said it himself
imo i think roach meant it would be a safer fight for manny unlike a dangerous fighter in cotto or mosley who are powerful punchers and put on 10 to 13 pounds overnight
The thread was sayin of the top WW's, Cotto would be easiest for Pac to beat, not that Cotto will simply be easy for Pac to beat.
But he wouldnt be. Mayweather is an easier fight.

I don't know about that saying..."You are only as good as your last fight". I mean there are a sh!t load of fighters that do good after loosing or looking like a bum in their previous fight. Good examples are Mosley, and P.Williams.
Its a ole saying in the gym meaning ..People usually remember your last fight and how you performed. Doesn't necessary mean a fighter cant bounce back.
Cotto's the easiest for the simple reason that he can be hurt. Mosley and Mayweather have less of a propensity to get hurt. Plus, I can see Mosley smothering Pac like Hatton would have liked to if he didn't get caught repeatedly, and Cotto doesn't fight like that which also makes it easier for Pac.
Cotto's my favorite fighter, but that's the truth.
Stylistically, I think Mosley is a worse match up for Pac than is Cotto. However, I'm not writing Cotto off as having no chance. If you'll glace down at my sig, you'll see that I've bet on Cotto to win.
I did see that you have Cotto winning. I see this as a good fight...what I don't see is Cotto being an easy opponent. Even Marg was having problems with Cotto before he took a beating.
Easy... Truthfully thats hard.... They say you're only good as your last fight. Can he be...Yes.
If he looks like he did with Clottey Pac will have an easy night .
I know that his style is tailor made for Pacs style. Cotto will have to fight at a high rate all rounds to win. Weight advantage may play against him as well.

I don't have to make excuses look at his record! So you think he is an easy opponent for Pac?

Make it clever!? You're the one not even explaining why Cotto is the logical choice for Pac!? Cotto beat Mosley...that is fact!!!

Torres is way over rated Bclass fighter.
MOSLEY gave that fight away.
Clottey won....And stop crying about the cut...BOO Fukkin HOO, Its boxing
Zab HAHAHAHA Out speed who Pac Are YOU High?
Quintana The first fight ? Why not mention the 2nd He got KTFO! Williams made sure that off night he had wasnt going to happen again.
All your points are called excuses for Cotto.
He will retire after november...

I personally believe Cotto is the best welter around too. Better than this current Mosley
But I just think Mosley has a better shot at beating Pacman. Just a styles thing
It's all speculation of course, Cotto could yet flatten Pacquiao in a round and prove he was more than the greatest challenge for him
Yeah! All of this IS just speculation. I mean the only big difference I see is Mosley being more aggressive than Cotto in the beginning rounds. Cotto will most likely take his time and try to break Pac down.
Epic, epic fail.
Between Cotto, Mayweather, and Mosley... Cotto is the logical choice for Pac.
Stop being a baby.
And if you're going to re-quote me, at least try and make it clever.

I don't think anyone would accuse Cotto of being an easy win, it's just suggesting that he's the easiest prospective Pacquiao opponent style-wise I believe
Which is fair when the alternatives are Mosley and Mayweather. Marquez stylistically poses Pac a greater challenge than Cotto at lightweight and lower (on paper), I'm not sure about 140lbs+ yet though.
