Just to give us an idea of what they might look like when standing side by side...

Manny will never knock Cotto out. Hes to small. But he will outclass him and make him look amateurs. Or maybe Cotto lands a lucky punch and stops Manny. But Manny is the favourite.
You're underestimating Manny's punching power and overestimating Miguel's chin. Manny can definitely hurt Cotto and Freddie Roach knows this. Everyone brings up the Oscar fight and how Manny couldn't hurt him, but even a weight drained Oscar has a better chin than a healthy Cotto.
Cotto is too big for manny.. But cotto has abit of a suspect chin, He's been rocked many times, especially againest southpaws, Have a look what happened again judah..
you don't know how punching power works
taking slow heavy shots in the face and forehead for 12 rounds isn't the same as taking a quick sharp one right on the chin that you just don't see coming. Even a few of those are going to really rattle your brain.

i should certainly hope not.
oscar was fighting 2 divisions above his natural weight class.
besides.....does a light heavyweight really need a welterweight to be weight drained to beat him?
Bernard was 2 lbs shy of junior middleweight.
blah blah blah
he won felix sturm's belt by beating a welterweight.
he's a LEGEND! :fing02:
At least Oscar wan't weight drained. Jajajajajajajajjajajajajajajajaja
:cockblock:hijacked::bottle:.
the size difference between hopkins and delahoya is about the same as oscar and manny.
hopkins should get as much credit from beating delahoya as oscar would have for beating manny.
nothing. :)
Oscar had a belt.

Some of these guys just don't understand that. I wouldn't be surprised if Manny starts hurting Cotto from the start. The combination of speed, power and relentlessness is what makes Manny so effective.
Delusional. Cotto took concrete bombs in the face for 11 rounds against Margarito
Actually technically he was only taking concrete bombs for the second half of the fight, and even then it wasn't proven to be 100% true. For all we know he could've taken zero concrete bombs lol.
LOL, looks like he's sizing him up telling himself "Man, I'd whoop this lil mother fuker's ass, fukin' Oscar".
Hahaha, look at how big Mosley is compared to Pacquiao!
poor miguel
Lol, for real. Pacquiao looks alot healthier than Cotto. Cotto looks like he isn't even hydrated.
Delusional. Cotto took concrete bombs in the face for 11 rounds against Margarito, EVERYTHING Mosely could throw and everything Clottey could throw (Cotto was the one that was making Clottey stumble in that fight).
The Pacman does NOT have the power these guys do. Miguel Cotto is anything but sloppy and when was the last time you saw Pac land a decent uppercut? Clottey and Margarito were landing flush on Cotto and he didn't go down.
You make it seem as though Manny can nip in and out without getting caught. What a joke. His last fight against an opponent that wasn't either dead, dying or a bum he was outboxed and beaten up.
Let's get real here people. Manny is a great fighter and will be fantastic shape come fight night but so will another elite fighter in Miguel Cotto.

You got to take inconsideration the punch output that Manny if going to have Accumulation of decent power punches = TKo or KO
Your deluded one, I hate to shatter your simplistic subjective approach, but size isn't everything. Which is, essentiantly what your post seems to come down to, even though you probably won't admit it.
First of all, Cotto needs to land heavy on Pac a lot. He won't, enough, and Pac has a good chin.
Second of all, Pac is pretty natural at this weight now, SPEED kills.
pac has not felt true WW power yet and when he does you will see the reaction on his face when he gets hammered to the body, and yes speed kills...but timing destroys speed

Bascially, Cotto looked smallish against Margarito, and Pacman didn't look as small as you'd expect next to Osca.
In-fact Manny looked damn healthy at that weight.
Cotto's getting hurt in this fight.
He's been too sloppy and open to upper cuts from slower opponents. Get someone throwing lightning fast combo's, more accurately, whilst on the go spells trouble for Miguel.

Very well put, I agree.
