    Its easier to compare Miguel Cotto to Juan Manuel Marquez and I think Cotto is a better body puncher and a harder hitter. Plus Cotto has some decent speed. He showed some good hand speed when he fought Shane Mosley and in his last fight he was in much better shape than he was in his past two previous fights. Considering all this I think Cotto can atleast do as good as Marquez did vs Pacquiao and I believe that says alot.

    Still if Manny Pacquiao loses to Cotto or any other bigger fighter he shouldn't lose any credit. He's already beaten some of the best and he was almost unstoppable in his natural weight class.
    Barrera was prime. DLH was past it though.

      But Im with Mangler here, any of the top 6 WWs steam rolls over Pacquiao specially, Cotto or shane.
      Style wise shane has a much better chance against Pacquiao than Cotto.

              Pac-man, Shmaq-man.....I love this Manny-fest after the "De La Hoya Ass-Whippnig". Hatton we have to see to believe. Cotto would kill him. Case closed. Enough w/ the Pac-man bull****. He's great....but remember, he fought for the 1st time @ lightweight (Diaz), who was a ****ing punching bag, & then fought for the 1st time @ welterweight against a weight-drained Oscar. I smell hype.

                  what are you talking about, he went on to beat Morales in the third fight after losing to Manny. Then he went 12 with Marquez and even knocked him down.

                    Remember Cotto doesn't have that iron chin... Maybe you will eat all your ****** words if the fight happens...
