This is why Cotto beats Pacquiao...

[Obusv477]

I have Manny beating Cotto on cuts and Floyd edging a boring UD against Manny. Happy?

I see it pretty much the same way.

except for the boring part...there's nothing boring about any Pac fights and generally most of Floyds.

Just saying that I predict Mayweather using his 1 punch and run routine for the whole fight. I don't think he'll want to mix it up with Manny. Manny has Speed and Power making it even less likely for floyd to actually fight.

To be fair,Cotto used low blows to slow Judah down.Cotto is vulnerable to speed.If Cotto doesnt hit the balls Manny will knock Cotto out later in the fight.Judah would have finished Cotto within 6 rounds if he had not been hit below the belt that many times.

Thats real I hate Cotto for that fight, that fight may be why Margorito loaded those gloves if he did load them in that fight. But, the point is he was outright cheating in the Judah fight cause of Zab's speed and power. That's really how I feel that fight was bull****.

Anyone who watched the fight knows Cotto was in trouble first 3 rounds and he resorted to low blows.It's good to be someone's fan but you got to admit to the facts man.How many times was Judah hit in the balls by Cotto?Cotto was in trouble getting uppercuts,check from 3.30 onwards and 4.04 Cotto starts hitting the balls.6.51 they replay the low blows

I thought both fighters started the way they always start. Zab, fast. Cotto, deliberate but feeling his man out till he can make adjustments.

no disrespect to Cotto,I have tremendous respect for his jab and the deceptive way he moves.He appears to be slow but damn he's as fast as anything and very destructive.Against Judah,the first 3 rounds were really unfair.He hit Judah a lot in his balls,that changed the complexion of the fight.Cotto was getting caught with some good upper cuts,the low blows were meant to slow Judah down and very deliberate.
Judah has since gone downhill of course but the Cotto fight he was never meant to lose it

I agree man,Margarito had to load his gloves because Cotto is known for being dirty.Even Shane Mosley had to go on record to say/ if Cotto goes to the balls I will go to the balls'

Oh God here we go again with Marg loading his gloves. No matter what you people say you will never know if Marg did or didn't during the Cotto fight.

As far as Pacman vs Cotto, I think all the advantage should go to Cotto because of size right? I just wouldn't bet against Pac in any way shape of fashion.

The same way you don't know if Margarito used plaster we don't know if Cotto intentionally low blowed Zab Judah.

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

I stopped reading right there... Judah rocked Cotto a couple of times but did not know how to finish Cotto off when he had a slight chance to do so after the solid uppers he ate from Judah. Manny is pretty much unstoppable with Roach on his corner and will improve his uppercuts and tag Cotto all night with those bad boys sending him to the canvas much like Hatton.

You mention body punching, well that will not be as easy as you think since Manny moves in angles and punches in the process, sure, one or two may land but it won't make a difference due the power and accuracy Manny will be throwing those combos right on Cotto's glassy grill. Pacman by stoppage in 7 rounds.

[FMJ The Best]

So you're calling it for Pacquiao in 7. Over the course of 7 rounds you don't see Cotto landing one of his famous body shots? I'm not saying it will only take one. But each will slow Pacquiao a bit more. Cotto will be his kryptonite. Pacquiao is weak to the body. You're forgetting Cotto won't be lunging in and Pacquiao isn't big enough to cover up his body like Winky Wright. Pacquiao is too small to keep Cotto off of him. Cotto will just upgrade his defense and go to town on Pacquiao when he has opportunities. He is extremely patient. Pacquiao goes down within 10.
