    Why Pacquiao can beat Miguel Cotto

    Cotto is a left handed orthadox fighter, once he fights a south paw he's going to be forced to use his straight right hand, which is average at best. Combined with Pacquiao's extreme speed advantage and workrate, Cotto will most likely lose.

    Now I expect to get flamed for this obviously, but please sig this thread if the fight does end up happening, I will apologize if I'm wrong.

    this is why Oscar got his ass beat vs Manny Pacquiao
    this is why Barrera got his ass beat by Manny Pacquiao
    this is why Pernell Whitaker, old as he was, nearly beat Oscar in his prime (some say he won)
    This is why Winky Wright beat Trinidads ass (although I'm not sure if he's a natural lefty, but he uses his left as his prime weapon).

    all natural left handers fighting in orthodox against a southpaw.

    Marquez, is a natural right hander. He's got a great right hand hence his success in the Pacquiao fights.

    As it stands now, I see Miguel getting frustrated and his right hand not being enough to win him the fight vs Pacquiao's left.

    good solid point.

    a solid 147lb cotto IMO is too much for pac.

    but for s&g factor, if paq did beat cotto; jeebus chris.

      judah was a lefty......

      anyway, i doubt pacman would be able to stand up to cotto's shots.

      i'll hold judgement 'till i see how he does against hatton....if he beats hatton's ass, no problems, then i'll entertain pacman fighting cotto.

                    he can beat cotto, but i disagree with cotto having an "average" right hand. He's got a pretty good right hand to me, and his timing with it is great.
