Cotto has trouble dealing with speed which will be the key factor in this fight. You already know what the game plan will be. Stick, stick, stick and move aside.
Roach is too smart not to know what Cotto's weaknesses and vulnerabilities are. Cotto has no defense for punches coming straight into the middle and up in between the gloves. Cotto does NOT have the stamina needed to keep up with a darting high energy Manny Pacquiao.
I honesly wouldnt be surprised if Pacquiao TKO's Cotto. Styles make fights and Pac's style is all wrong for Cotto.
Cotto got too much size n strength for lil Pac.
With all the size advantage in the world if you cant land or catch someone then whats the difference??? Pacman is not going to be there for Cotto to find if cotto comes in too heavy.

Cotto has fought alot of boxers with great speed like Paulie M,Judah and mosley but none of them has the lightness or quickness about them, Pac is also a southpaw which might make cotto eat alot of leather.
Am also favouring pacman in this fight......

Cool post, I'm glad you see thing my way. Seriously though, you hit the nail on the head with this post.
You should be a shame of yourself....I mean i would be ashamed to be that ignorant...To compare Feather Fisted Paulie lol...A over rated bum like Judah that made a name from looking good against c class fighters. LOL and Mosley is a real good fighter that let off of Cotto and lost that fight...Cotto did nothing spectacular with Mosley....
and y u think mosley let off cotto. cause shane was eating those jabs
Seriously who has Pac fought that comes close to Cottos boxing ability?..JMM was the closest one and those fights were close..Morales was a excellent boxer but he chose to stand and bang..Pac has not faced anyone with Cottos boxing ability, or jab.
true, its a good thing jmm didnt have a good jab because when he had his moments pac tend to stand straight up in range to get popped with the jab a lot but marquez being a counterpuncher wasnt throwing it enough.
He beat Paulie...Judah.....and Mosley..
ALL PRETTY FAST GUYS.
Nice try though.

What can i say, Yeah there's a big chance Manny will beat Cotto. What i like in this fight is the courage of this two fighter inside the ring. No bullshit, a fight of the year ever in the making

lol@ your avi
good analysis.
i agree.
people keep mentioning uppercuts because they saw marg use the uppercut so effectively.
what people forget though is that marg throws wide punches and with cotto's guard the most effective punch for marg was the uppercut because it goes in between cotto's gloves and because marg is much taller.
with pac he doesn't need the uppercut because his left is straight down the middle anyway.
cotto can still win this especially if he jumps on pac early but i favor manny.
Why haven't you commited to posting in my thread Tua. I'm disappointed in you.

2501?? is that you? Cotto having problems with speed??? hes dealt with the most speedy elements at his weight!!!!
No defense for straight shots?? What did mosley do to him throughout the entire fight??
Did Horus hack into your username??
Cmon lets be a lil more logical here. Cottos strength and jab alone will keep pacquiao at a long distance away from Cotto allowing Cotto to come forward. Pacquiao will be on the backfoot plenty throughout the fight. Cottos best performances were against boxer punchers. its just what he does best. You honestly pacquiao has the power to KO Cotto but Shane Clottey and marg dont??
Cmon 2501 lets be more realistic here Pac will take some MAJOR damage in this fight. He will find pacquiao and he WILL hirt him.
This fight is starting to remind me of the Tito-Hopkins fight..everyone thought that Tito was going to destroy B-hop..well not everybody but almost everyone..then look what happened Tito got owned.., Tito destroyed Joppy which was suppose to be the tougher guy in the middleweight tounament and B-Hop didnt look all that good againts Keith Holmes, kinda like this fight Pac obliterates Hatton and beats a shadow of DLH, and Cotto doesnt look to impressive againts Clottey..so now Cotto gets written off like he is done..
