Does the Cotto who fought Zab and Mosley beat Today's Pacquiao?

I would favour that Cotto over pacman to be honest. Today's cottto can beat today's pacquiao. some of you are dense. COTTO IS TOO DAMN BIG!!! pac will be giving up 10 lbs to cotto. if you can't beat a boxer 10 lbs lighter than you are you need to give your boxing equipment to Roger, so he can set it on fire.

The Cotto that fought Judah and Mosley was a hungry Cotto. Does Cotto still have that hunger anymore? Or did Plaster-Man beat that Hunger out of Cotto? Plus, Manny has been looking insanely great lately while Cotto only good and not at his peak yet it could have been because of that nasty cut for all we know... His jab was also very great against Judah and Mosley, and he is going to need a great jab against Pacquiao. Also, he should learn to feint punches like Pacquiao and fake his punches to mess with his opponents head like Pacquiao has been learning to do.

Pac Man wins this fight rather easily. All of you are severely missing Pac's decided advantage in speed and precision. Pac will throw punches from angles that Cotto has never seen before and he will throw them with blinding speed and insane accuracy not to mention enough power to stop Cotto. Pac continues to get better each fight out while Cotto has noticeably regressed since the Margo fight. There is a lot of Cotto Kool Aid being drank here.

The Cotto that fights at welterweight will have a chance at Pacman all day,I don,t know how Cotto will take coming in lighter than 147!!It is not smart to critisize the Cotto that fought Clottey,Clottey is big,strong and deserving of being the 3rd best welterweight right now!!Cotto has genuine power and he knows how to land,Pacman does not walk through Cotto,if Cotto boxeshe will win easily!!

People usually don't tire when they have a wounded dog (Zab Judah) in front of them. Zab is a 6 round fighter himself, and I knew that he would lose if he couldn't stop Cotto early. The thing is when you have a hurt man in front of you waiting to be put out of there misery (Judah) you usually do not tire noticeably. It's a mental thing more than anything else. you have your opinion and i have mines but i would said this cotto will hurt pac just like jmm did except cotto has more pop....and he will hurt pac cotto late tko or ud

cotto has tire agaisnt bigger guys mosley and margo clottey but not guys his size just look at the zab fight People usually don't tire when they have a wounded dog (Zab Judah) in front of them.

that Cotto, next Cotto and any other Cotto :boxing:

yep that was the best cotto..if he just wouldve taken some notes from hopkins and held a lil bit larry thats what he was missing the clinchin and more body work....he did make margo seem over match from time to time in the fight

Homie. it's just that he gets tired in his fights. The best cotto i have ever seen was the one fighting margarito. cotto has tire agaisnt bigger guys mosley and margo clottey but not guys his size just look at the zab fight

the margo fight was the best he's ever looked in my opinion..his defense was on point..lightning fast combo's..footwork..if only he clinched a lil bit he could reserve some energy Homie. it's just that he gets tired in his fights. The best cotto i have ever seen was the one fighting margarito.

i think cotto is the same cotto..he is just missing the swag he once had..i think if any thing margo took some of his confidence away Co-sign he isn;t missing any of the swag either. The swag was in full effect for the jennigns fight. it's just that he fought Clottey.

yeah, especially the cotto that showed up to fight marg utterly destroys pacquiao

thats true..but cotto just doesnt have that swage had at first..i liked it...cotto is better than he showed in the clottey fight..i know ive seen how good cotto can be..remember him slipping 5 punches in a row against margo???where was that in the clottey fight??its the small things he's stopped doing thats allowing him to get hit more... you are right larry but i think the cut had something to do with that but in margo fight the 1st half atleast margo couldnt touch cotto he was dippin and makin margo look slower than he is.....i think he is being overlook this time by people and this is a fight he could win and help find the swag

Yep. Cotto is too fukkin big for lil Pac. Pac ain't no WW.

Well keep in mind too that he was fighting with one eye for a good majority of the fight. Prior to that he was getting hit with little jabs from Clottey, but nothing serious. If he fights the same against Pacquiao without any cuts or anything that'll be somewhat of a handicap, then I think it'll be easier for me to say that he's lost a step or 2.

cotto hits pac with some of the stuff he caught clottry with its gonna be the end of the fight pac does not have a better chin than clottey or mosley I think thats one of the biggest tests in the fight, whether Pac can take Cotto's punches. Cotto's been in with heavier punches by far so I think his chin will hold up, but Pac's speed also coincides with his power. One solid shot from Pac can def get Cotto on wobbly legs if he isn't careful.

hey larry but couldnt you say its also hard too look good with the level of fighters he has been fighting outside of jennings

i think cotto is the same cotto..he is just missing the swag he once had..i think if any thing margo took some of his confidence away I sorta feel the same way, but I think Pacquiao can bring that type of fight out of Cotto being Pac doesn't posses the type of size to push Cotto for 12 rounds making Cotto rely on countering all night, but it still makes for a test of who picks his shots better.

yes, he does.
