What if: Cotto vs. Pac-Man

[Ido]

Ignoring the die hard Pac-Man/Cotto fan boys.

Do you think this would be a good match up?

[KILLA RIGHT]

Hell yeah but i think Cotto punishes manny bad. LAte stoppage

[Gopgop]

i also think that miguel cotto will get the w...lol

[RL_GMA]

I'd love to see it. I think it would go back and forth, but Manny would be getting hit harder than he's ever been hit by a legit 147'er.

Manny's been in wars with guys at 130, but to exchange with Cotto might mean lights out gradually as the fight goes on.

I got Cotto by stoppage, but in a great fight.

cotto breaks manny's ribs

cotto by murder in 7 rounds.

[Silencers]

It would be a very good matchup, stylistically, they would make for a great fight, Cotto has not been in a dull fight, Pacquiao rarely is, would be a great fight. Cotto wins for me.

----------------------
I can only see this fight happening, if Cotto manages to become top 3 p4p and gain a huge following. Meaning unifying the belts.

21 February 2009 - per say attains WBO title belt after defeating Michael Jennings.

July 13 - Margarito suspension could be a blessing, if it turns out Andre Berto steps up as the replacement. A victory would warrant a WBC belt.

????? Guns for the WBA. For damn sure, many would be interested in a Mosley/Cotto rematch.


A series of victories would ensure, Cotto bounces back and attain a really good status in the boxing world. I know it sounds a bit fanatical, but not to unreasonable.
----------------

On the other hand looking at physical stats.


Cotto - 5ft. 7in . A wider built, with heavy hands. One of the few that can change orthodox to south paw. Questionable jaw though.


Pac-Man - 5*ft*6.5. Slimmer built, with fast hands. Awkward fighting style, susceptible to counters.
---------------

My only concern is that this seems to be Cotto’s favorable weight. While Pac-Man would need a few “easy” fights to get used to 147.

I think Cotto is one of the welterweights Manny can beat... Styles make fights and Pacquiao is quicker and Cotto's chin isn't the best in the world... I think Pacquiao got a shot with his speed.. Cotto couldn't even get away from heavy footed Margarito. Cotto has great timing though.. I think it would make for an interesting fight with the edge going to Cotto and a chance going to Pacquiao. Not to mention Cotto's stamina is questionable as well.

COTTO'S STAMINA WUZ QUESTIONED BY "PARIS OF PLASTER" .... Not by margarito...SORRY
