& was able to keep it up for the full 12 rounds as opposed to just 6. Pacquiao handled some very tough pressure at times and used his quicker hand and footspeed to control the ring last night, but at least in my opinion what was most impressive was his stamina.
aside from the obvious stamina difference between pac and cotto, miguel doesn't have the footwork, lateral movement and circling style that manny had.
as early as round 2, cotto just kept backing up and thus was often push against the ropes the entire fight and the punishment accumulated.
pac stood his ground in the center of the ring, unlike cotto, who stayed against the ropes. that's a big difference as tony can't really fight in the center of the ring.
lastly, pac had a lot better chin than miguel.
pac backed up quite a bit but ur right he stood his ground much more then Miguel cotto
u cnt jjust land one or 2 shots then dance away u have to stand ur ground and land combos after combos against marg

yea he kind of did but manny used angles and didn't back str8 up, cotto boxed well but continued to let margs pressure back him into corners and against the ropes where marg has the ability to put his good body punchin to work
