Sugar Shane Mosley: Pacquiao Does Not Know How Good Cotto Is

agreed..people dont realize how good cotto is

Where do people get this idea from that Cotto isn't highly-skilled? Some of these posters are the same ones who will tell you that the only way you can beat Mosley is with boxing skills. Cotto has a terrific skillset. He also happens to be a strong, durable fighter. Pacquiao was blessed with much more natural talent and has, over the years, honed his gifts and utilizes them well. He's developed an impressive, unique style. More than anything, this fight will come down to who has greater skill. Your guess is as good as mine. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This my friend is a very accurate post. I'm a fan of both, favor Pac a lil more but it is what it is. I'm nervous as hell for both of em. I see Cotto manhandling Pac if he gets too cocky, and i also see Pac throwing punches in bunches from every angle confusing Cotto. Not sure who will win in the ring, but i know true, hardcore and casual fans will win regardless come fight night!!!!

barrera was over the hill and you know it. just like Morales in their last two fights. before eric was fully out of his prime, you saw him school manny Barrera was not over the hill in the first fight. I'm a big fan of El Terrible and he was passed his best. What you and other people understand is that you still have to be pretty damn good to beat these Hall of Famers even while they're past it. Let alone, knock them out.

Cotto's boxnig skills are on another level and better compare to Pacquiao's. that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Take Pacquiao speed away and give him the speed of let's say Cotto who has pretty good speed but not super speed and you would see Pacquiao boxing skills are not all that. Pacquiao's speed saves him other than that I don't see the natural boxing talent of a Cotto or a Mosley or a Mayweather. You will see Nov 14 once Cotto takes that speed away with timing. The world will see Pacquiao has no ****ing idea on what to do when an opponent takes his biggest weapon away. Manny's now confident and able to lead with both hands and counter with both hands. He hurt and knocked down JMM with counter lefts when he was getting too brave. He constantly led with right hooks against Diaz. He led with tons of straight lefts against De La Hoya. And landed a bunch of counter right hooks against Hatton. Good luck to Cotto trying to predict what's coming and timing Pac's speed.

That's an excuse not even I will use. The better man will win period. lets watch him stand and box with manny then,wouldnt be a good idea imo he needs 2 bring the heat 2 him

If Cotto wins it'll be brutal, not skillful. He ain't outboxin Pac, but he can mos def KO him. you're right

When has Pacman OUTBOXED someone Pacman is one dimesional. The only reason he beats those HOFers is because he fights them weight drained or past his prime. The Steroids also helps a lot Cotto outboxed Mosley Cotto outboxed Margarito until he quit Cotto outboxed Judah Cotto has great timing, which is needed to beat someone with quick hands. I shouldn't even respond to you for that stupid steroid comment. Barrera has great timing too, and he couldn't time Pacquiao when he knew the straight left was coming. Pacquiao's whole style, speed, and unpredictability is built to throw off timing. If Cotto isn't in seek and destroy mode and tries to sit back and counter, he's getting ****ed up.

na pacquioa is a more skilled fighter than cotto if cotto wins it will be due too his size and strength That's an excuse not even I will use. The better man will win period.

I believe he said that Pac is in for a tough fight, tougher than he might think.

Feel that people are sleeping on Cotto's boxing abilities too much. The Margarito fight showed that he can be elusive his track record in general shows that he has good timing can cut off the ring efficiently and apply the right kind of pressure.

If Cotto wins it'll be brutal, not skillful. He ain't outboxin Pac, but he can mos def KO him. cotto could win skillfully but why? when he is a much better pressure fighter fighting a smaller opponent that does not fight well going backwards. cotto victory via tko

Cotto's boxnig skills are on another level and better compare to Pacquiao's. na pacquioa is a more skilled fighter than cotto if cotto wins it will be due too his size and strength

Cotto's boxnig skills are on another level and better compare to Pacquiao's. What do you base that on? The guy has gone 6-1-1 against future Hall of Famers. 6 of those fights when he was more one dimensional.

Stupid questions. Mosley is the man.

If Cotto wins it'll be brutal, not skillful. He ain't outboxin Pac, but he can mos def KO him.
