This is why Cotto beats Pacquiao...
Pacquiao will not be able to keep his body away from Cotto for the entire fight. It's as simple as that. Unless Pacquiao can do Cotto exactly how he did Hatton and keep him completely off balance with bombs coming from every direction and can finish the job early Pacquiao is a dead man.
Pacquiao will eventually be hit to the body by Cotto and regardless of how much they tenderize him with those sticks nothing will prepare him for such a calculated and deadly punch like Cottos body attack. Especially if its a left hook to the body.
Cotto wasn't really affected by the speed of Zab Judah or Malignaggi. Now I'm not compariing either of those two to Pacquiao but Cottos jab is one of the best at WW and I don't think he would find it all that difficult to keep Pacquiao at bay.
The amount of running around the ring Pacquiao will have to do to keep Cotto from landing as accurately as he usually does will put a dent in his stamina. I have no doubts about that at all. Between how hard he will be getting hit and how much running and evasive manuevers he will have to utilize I think Cotto will eventually be able to walk him down like he does everyone else.
Cotto has a very high connect percentage usually.
I don't see Manny Pacquiao beating him.
Sure Freddie Roach is great at exploiting flaws and making near perfect game plans. But Cotto is too big of a mountain for Pacquiao to climb.
Sorry guys.
Manny Pacquiao "peeleft: Miguel Cotto
