Cotto CAN KO or Choose to Outbox Manny!

This is gonna be a close fight.

Cotto has always fought better moving forward. You try making Cotto back up. His determination to win this fight is probably the highest it's ever been in his career. and determination plays a big factor in fights. Who wants it more. both are hungry fighter who feel they absublutly HAVE to win, so it's going to just be amazing. Exactly! Let's sit back and watch the fireworks!!!!

Anybody that thinks Cotto will be able to time Pacquiao hasn't seen enough of both fighters. MAB, one of the best counter punchers with the great timing, was befuddled and couldn't time Pac, but Cotto will? No, he won't. Manny even added feints and lead and counter right hands since then. Cotto needs to walk him down or he's getting ****ed up.

He can't outbox him cuz he's outgunned in speed, hand and foot. But he'll KO him. Mangler almost always posts something I agree with. I think Manny may get KO'd this time out.

He has to have a gameplan against Pac. You just dont mid way through the fight figure that you want to just outbox him. Remember Pac is much faster than mosley and judah IMO. he also has that sneaky power. if cotto dont have a gameplan than its over. Definitely. Who can Cotto and Pac hire as a sparring partner to prepare the for eachother.

I'm a big Pacquiao fan, but I believe Cotto will win with just pure counter punching, but if Pac can waste Cotto's gas early in the fight, then I think Pac has a chance but Cotto's fight with Clottey convinces me that he's more than likely going to win against Pac. he can't wait on pac cause pac will beat him to the punch every time. cotto's best bet is to use a strong jab to move pac to the ropes and then unleash hooks to the body. if that doesn't work, cotto needs to cover up (peek a boo) and when pac punches, he needs to punch with pac (i.e. brawl). there's no fukkin way cotto can win with just boxing.

cotto can box, but that's not the way he's gonna win against pac. if cotto waits on pac, pac will rip him to shreds. pac is too fast. if cotto backs up, pac will KO him. back peddling against pac is stupid and every boxer that has done it has gotten KTFO. cotto's best way to acheive victory is to stand his grounds and throw combos when pac comes forward (ie. brawl).

Why can't you just say it's going to be a great fight? I have said that over and over again. It is just that peepz forget that Cotto can box too!

So now if you have speed you can automatically outbox your opponent? GTFOH!!! That is what Mosley thought!!! did you even watch the cotto/mosley fight? mosley was brawling w/ cotto.

yes he can:boxing:

cotto needs to make it a brawl and rely on his power to carry him through, otherwise he will be outboxed. pac is to fast. So now if you have speed you can automatically outbox your opponent? GTFOH!!! That is what Mosley thought!!!

Since Cotto is a WW we all know that Cotto CAN definitely KO Manny. This is mostly due to the fact that he will come in bigger than Manny on fight night. With this said, and what most of you Pac stans will be surprised at, is the fact that Cotto also has the boxing ability to outbox Manny in this upcoming fight. Whether he chooses to outbox him is a different story!!! Just FYI, I know Manny is a great fighter, but to believe that Cotto can't outbox him could lead to his downfall. Not saying that he thinks the way his fans do! cotto needs to make it a brawl and rely on his power to carry him through, otherwise he will be outboxed. pac is to fast.

imma laugh if PAC ends this shit faster than the Hatton fight :D Mak, you want to bet!?

I agree!!! Cotto will use being the aggressor to his advantage like he has always done. Sh!t he will be happy since he wasn't against a few of his last opponents. yeah man! don't you hate it when Cotto backs up into the ropes...and just sits there!! He did against Marg, Clottey...but I was glad he didn't do it against Mosely!!! HE BETTER NOT DO IT AGAINST PAC...that would suck!!

this one is up in the air, cotto is smart enought to take a page from morales' or JMM's book, Manny is strong and fast enought to cause some serious damage with that straight lead, cotto will refuse to clinch and Manny will be walking forward...... Cant wait!!!

That's just it!!!! You said.....Manny will not be the aggressor, that is where Cotto fights his best...COMING FORWARD!!! Cotto can box going backwards too, but then tends to hang around the ropes too much. If Pacquiao gives Cotto too much room, he will definately get tagged. Expect Manny to scortch Cotto in the early rounds...but mid way through the 6th or 7th, Manny is getting tagged. Truth be told. I agree!!!

Just because he's a real welterweight doesn't mean he can KO manny. Manny will be darting in and out, staying at a safe distance most of the time, he'll be too quick for cotto. Cotto doesn't have one punch KO, his KO's all come by chopping down his opponents over time. Manny wont stand in front of him he'll be in & out, landing flurries when he's in then quickly bouncing out to a safe distance. Cotto cant out-box manny and I seriously doubt he can ko him, unless manny fights stupid which I just cant see happening (he's a smart fighter and Roach teaches him to fight smart). Pacquiao UD.
