Does anyone seriously think PAC will beable to even try "out box" cotto?

I think he pac will have no problem out boxing cotto, He is to fast for cotto, Pac will be out of the way before cotto even thinks of throwing, But if he doesn't stick and move then cotto will knock his ass out Thats the thing though Cotto has proven he can kill speed (Judah,Moseley)with timing . How is Pac gonna kill that Power?:spank:

Dont ever compare the DLH PAC fought to Cotto PAC is going to fight. And PAC was able to do what he did to DLH because DLH was severly weight drained,old and way to past his prime. Cotto most likely wont have any of those problems and has entire different set of skill than DLH. This fight is far much more of a challenge for PAC than it is Cotto. LOL im not comparing the two :pat: im saying the gameplan will be similar: stick & move it's up to Cotto on how to stop Pac with his own strategy

JMM>>>>>>>>>Cotto in terms of counter punching. JMM can give anyone problems. PAC will can give him problems because hes faster than Cotto is, cant deny that. JMM is a better conter puncher agreed, Pac is faster than Cotto agreed, But Shane, Judah, Malinaggie were also faster than Cotto. A good jab can stop any fighter from getting off shots, DLH was trying to paw with it because he knew that if he could establish his jab Pac Man wont be able to get in on him, but DLH was shot. Now Cotto has a great jab possibly the best and heaviest Jab that Pac man will ever see. Speed does not seem to faze Cotto.

And iknow he cant outbox Cotto hes has great boxing skills! I think he pac will have no problem out boxing cotto, He is to fast for cotto, Pac will be out of the way before cotto even thinks of throwing, But if he doesn't stick and move then cotto will knock his ass out

Why would Pac's style give him problems?..JMM was able to deal with it, only problem was that JMM is smaller and doesnt hit as hard as Cotto does. I seriosly think that Pac's best chance of beating Cotto is going in hard and just trying to knock him out, becuase he cant box with him, Everyone is riding on Pac Man knocking out Cotto..kinda like when Tito fought Bhop, everyone was riding on Tito Ko'ing Bhop..and look what happened. If Pac manages to win this he deserves all the credit in the world and if he looses well he lost to one of the best WW's out there, nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes he will out box cotto, Or he will be koed. Can't wait for this match And iknow he cant outbox Cotto hes has great boxing skills!

Agreed, Zab is faster than PAC and Mosley is stronger. Which is why I say this fight is more a challenged towards PAC than it is Cotto. I do believe PACs style though can give Cotto problems his timing and we all know Cotto makes up for his lack of speed with timing.

To be honest when Cotto fought Judah, I didnt think he was going to be able to beat him, I thought Judah would take him out in like 5 rds, "too much speed and power". But I was proven wrong. Judah is one fast motha phuka, he was beating Mayweather to the punch for the 1st 5-6 rds of there fight, So I dont think Pac Mans speed is going to be an issue here. I think its a matter of Pac Man being able to deal with Cottos Jab, thats going to determine the fight. If Cotto is able to establish a Jab, Pac Man is not going to be able to put anything together offensively on him. Agreed, Zab is faster than PAC and Mosley is stronger.

Pac is gonna be Pac. In and Out fast combinations before Cotto knows what to do. It will work because Cotto isn't a world class counter-puncher like Marquez. Don't even try and dispute that, Cotto stans. My friend you have to do a lot more studying to Cotto is a very good counter puncher!

^^^Was that a reference to "Taken"? :rofl: I could've sworn I heard Liam Neeson's voice. LOL yeah. But dnt get me wrong, Liam Neeson>>>>>PAC

like what he did on DLH right? im not saying he'll do an Oscar-asswhooping but he will be using the exact gameplan Cotto is much powerful than any Pac has faced, & to fight toe to toe with him is suicide so he has to use his "boxing skills" Dont ever compare the DLH PAC fought to Cotto PAC is going to fight.

Because you are. Even the dumbest Pactard knows that manny doesnt have surperior "boxing skills". What he does have is a deadly set of brawling skills, brawling skills that he has acquried over a long career, Skills that have allow him to have a chance in a fight against someone of Cottos caliber. He just like Hatton or Gatti, pure brawler. ^^^Was that a reference to "Taken"? :rofl: I could've sworn I heard Liam Neeson's voice.

Im not saying PAC is a crap fighter or something, Im saying Pacs be attrubuites are not his "Boxing Skills". He dosent have a perfect jab or great counter punching skills or slick defense. His bread and butter is his Power which he can bring at all angles, in and out orthordox style, speed and output. like what he did on DLH right? im not saying he'll do an Oscar-asswhooping but he will be using the exact gameplan Cotto is much powerful than any Pac has faced, & to fight toe to toe with him is suicide so he has to use his "boxing skills"

I think this fight will go one of these two ways....... Cotto will land some nice clean shots and pacman will reduce his normal punch output by about half..he definately wont be throwing wild punches and wont be lunging in and out like normal...this is where cotto can neutralizes him cotto.... the flipside is.... Pacman's speed willl give cotto serious problems and wear him down throughout the fight...if his speed is too much for cotto to counter or land clean shots he will beat cotto... Honestly I think Cotto should take this fight without a whole lot of trouble but who knows...

I hope that was a joke. If his boxing skills are on par with Hatton, how the **** did he KO him in 2 rounds. Seriously. If he was on par with him, the fight would have been far more competitive and longer. Im not saying PAC is a crap fighter or something, Im saying Pacs be attrubuites are not his "Boxing Skills".

Slugging with Cotto won't work, his quick in and out combos are his best chance.

what is your definition of boxing skills. mine is hit and not be hit. what the hell has he been doing in the last 3 fights? you are obviously a hater trying to compare pacs skills with hatton. You cant compare Cotto with anyone PAC has fought as of yet. If you were to start his last 3 opponents would be some of the last people you would wanna compare Cotto to.His fights against DLH,Hatton and Diaz didnt do half of what his 2 fights with JMM did for him.(In terms of preperation for Cotto). Cotto isnt like DLH because hes in his prime, his style isnt tailor made like Hattons and Diaz in his best days isnt on the same tier as cotto.

DLH should even be mentioned in this thread he could barely throw a punch he looked tired from rd 1. Now Pac cannot out box Cotto thats a given. His best chance is to try to bang and get out before Cotto can counter, Now for him to come in he is going to have to make it past Cottos heavy jab, if you see Pac's head getting snaped back in the early rounds you know he is going to get phucked up..if he can come in at will and hit Cotto with power shots and Cottos cant establish his jab, then you know Cotto is going to get phucked up..lol..this is going to be a great fight. 100% truth^^^^ Great fight indeed if it goes the distance or for a least 10 rnds this will be fight of the year material.
