Cotto punished Pacquiao's face early and busted his eardrum at 145. It would be a 9 pound difference if the fight were to take place at 154. Those punches would be a lot more effective. I highly doubt the rematch happens at 154.
Most of you have no clue about weight really no clue , Roach will not allow Manny to fight Cotto at 154 , I will bet all my points and any real money wager if anyone wants to take it , that they WILL NOT put Manny in with Cotto at 154 ,,,
Roach knows the difference between a brick and a stick , fans dont !
Cotto's style and speed would lose against Pacman at any weight. He's as weak to uppercuts as ever (Pac exposed this in round 4 of their fight and Mayweather in the later rounds).
It'd be a competitive fight, but Pac would win it.
The same result? Or something different?
If the Cotto that fought Mayweather at 154 fought Pacquiao we just saw against Bradley at 154...Cotto would beat the living ***** out of Pacquiao!!! No doubt in my mind...
Definitely not the same as Pac isnt the same animal and Cotto knows how to fight backwards now. I think itd be a damn close fight. Pac gift tho probably.
Good point there that I failed to point out. Miguel can fight moving back something he did not do before.

Cotto will fight a much smarter fight and will be in a much better phisycal condition. This time he has a real corner and knows that he can't run over Pac like he tried to do in the first fight. Cotto would outbox Pac and win in convincng fashion.
Pac wants none of Miguel @ 154. He already ducked him once.
Miguel showed us that he is far from done, his new foumd or should I say, improved technique, defense, and trainer will be the key to victory. Cotto looked in the best shape I ever seen him for the Floyd fight. Lastly, did you notice that he got his agression back!
Cotto all the way!
Screw the Cotto haters!!
Lol come on guys. I love Cotto but he just wont beat Manny at all. If you really think those 2 pounds made that much of a difference I dont know what to tell ya.
Same result, difference is once cotto feels pacs power again he will be in retreat mode trying to counter which seems to be everyone's gameplay against Pac now.
Is that a joke?
Pac beats any form of Cotto even at this day. Youre right, styles make fights, and Pacs style would demolish Cotto on every given night.
My god I have recently realized how stupid most people are on this website. This website is made up of blind hatred for fighters and ignorance, ****ing pathetic
i could give you a list of fights where the rematch went completely different than the first fight.
Styles makes fights.
Pac's style is all wrong for Cotto. Cotto gets marked up badly if he wants to engage with Pac at all. If he moves around and boxes he'll lose on the cards.
Stamina is a huge factor for Cotto. If he gets tired at all, he'll get beat up badly.
