7 key fights in which Cotto has shown vulnerabilities...

......bump

Lovemore N'dou - gassed and running in the final rounds DeMarcus Corley - caught and buzzed pretty bad Ricardo Torres - hurt badly and dropped Zab Judah - busted up and almost did the chicken dance himself Shane Mosley - gassed and running in the end, again Antonio Margarito - beatdown and quit Joshua Clottey - gassed and running, yet again Props to Miguel for making it this far and finding a way to win the above fights with the exception of the Margarito beatdown. In Manny Pacquiao he faces one of the very best, elite fighters of this era, regardless of the weight difference. And with the kind of vulnerabilities he's shown in the past, chances are pretty damn good that he won't make it to the final bell against the Pacman. And no, this is not hating, as many of you will be quick to call it. I'm just analyzing the upcoming fight and calling it how I see it. like i've been trying to tell cotto stans, cotto is and has always been vulnerable, but pac is too small.

agree. pac saw clottey vs cotto (from round 1 when he was not yet cut), and i think he saw cotto being not very difficult to hit. if cotto eats multiple lefts from pac, he will go down. i think pac miscalculated. cotto is a big dude and clottey is even bigger.

So don't worry about it. I like Manny, but he's had his share of problems too. He was knocked out a long time ago and he had a pretty bad time against El Terrible and Marquez. This is boxing you know. Although I like Manny a lot I'm not feeling the same way about you. You see Manny respects fighters you don't.

please. cotto was never an undefeated fighter with an invincible aura, not at all. he showed his weaknesses time and time again before he lost, as stated by the thread starter. he was wobbled, dropped and almost stopped against a C+ puncher in ricardo torres, he has gassed in a couple of fights (although not in the N'Dou fight IMO). Im picking Manny. I dont think 2 pounds makes anyone weight drained if im honest, cotto doesnt seem like hes ever had real problems making '47, so no worries there, i just think mannys the better fighter. his handspeed and head movement make him the favorite to pick cotto to pieces i think, and if pac hits you enough times, you will go down. regardless of weight. agree. pac saw clottey vs cotto (from round 1 when he was not yet cut), and i think he saw cotto being not very difficult to hit. if cotto eats multiple lefts from pac, he will go down.

And no, this is not hating, as many of you will be quick to call it. I'm just analyzing the upcoming fight and calling it how I see it. I give it to Cotto for always adjusting and having the will to win. I take it as an advantage. Plus, 4 were JWW fights where he is chinny, I can not see this weakness on his WW fights. He got hurt real bad by Marg but I think those were due to accumulation. But on the subject of gassing in the later rounds, you have a point there. If he can't time pac in the early rounds, he will definitely be in trouble in the championship rounds. Also, since cotto is using the Morales type defense, he is very vulnerable to the straight lefts. We'll see if he adjusts.

Cotto getting Buzzed by Judah is one of the most OVERstated things in Boxing, he was not badly hurt at all. Judah hurt him, Cotto hides it well and Judah let him off the hook. Manny is not Zab Judah. Once Manny makes Miguel do the two step, he'll be all over him like white on rice, no pun intended.

Dude, get it already, Tito KOs the **** outta Margo at WW :fest30: .....Where did that come from??? That's in make believe fairy tale land... In the real world, Margarito whooped on Miguelito and made him say no mas.

Dude, get it already, Tito KOs the **** outta Margo at WW :fest30:

I think all those list are advantages for cotto, The more experienced you are the better fighter you become, If he hasnt gone through anything before then it would be difficult for him to know what to do if something like that happens to him. cosign the experience he gained in those fights is valuable. against pac he wont have to worry about being pressured cuz pac will stick and move. its all gona come down to pac's speed. if cotto can handle it which i think he can, he will do fine.

agreed but he was not hit by hatton or zombie DLH. DLH was hit with everything for 9 rds and manny didn't hurt him not even once so know he's gonna ko cotto in 3 rds??? please.... Oscar's got a great chin, Cotto does not.

I agree with just about everything you said ...except the part where Margarito is a great fighter....Marg is an average boxer who pressures his opponents but without the plaster we really dont know... If that's the case, then Cotto is an overrated fighter who was exposed and got his ass handed to him by Antonio Margarito... There was no plaster, get over it, Cotto got whooped and quit. End of story already.

1. pacquiao has been down by body punch cotto is one of the best body punches in the game 2. pacquiao has trouble with fighters that use the jab well cotto has one of the best jab in the game he has knocked down atleast 3 fighters with his jab.

when pacquiao gets hits he come back at you square so cotto will hit him once he square his body

That's cool Bro, but listen, Manny Pacquiao has "NEVER" been hit by a true Welter Weight.

Despite the dancing and gassing, Cotto has only lost once. He had to be doing something right despite his vulnerabilities. I am not a huge fan of his late round time outs, but hell, he wins most of them so he obviously is winning more rounds in total. And he fights everyone. It doesn't have to be pretty if he gets his hands raised at the end. Yeah, running. Which you have to admitt, wont work with someone like Pacquiao.
