Pacquiao Won't Be Easy For Cotto, Says Bonilla

[Hagler★]

Its true, Cotto needs to beat Clottey first and we need to see how he looks doing so before any assumptions can be made.
In terms of what Bonilla said, I would not judge the fight off of Saturday's result as Pac was basically hitting a moving punch bag. He could not miss!
Even still, as badly as Hatton performed he still landed cleanly on Pac and if it was Cotto throwing these punches who is to say what would have happened?

cotto vs pac has to happen @ 147. theres more history on the line for pac that way. 7th division title. It would break his tie w/ oscar. I dont wanna or the rest of the world for that matter, dont wanna hear the boricuas saying cotto was weight drained for the pac fight.

Cotto has no punching power. All his KOs have come late by accumulation of punishment. He couldn't kayo Margarito with all those precise punches that landed, Mosley did. I have seen however, Cotto in trouble before but his opponents did not know how to finish him off and he came back to win those times. If Manny puts him in trouble he will be able to finish him off. Manny in eight rounds by TKO. His speed will be too much for the slower Cotto.

No punching power? go back and see most of the Cotto fights that ended after a good amount of round and see if their faces look the same from before the fight!! you sure watch alotta boxing "peeleft:

Roach always formulates an effective strategy. Don't think that Pac is gonna use the same strategy for every fight. If that fight ever went down, Roach would work a plan to neutralize Cotto's left hand and set everything up as a block, left straight counter all night. Cotto almost always starts his offensive attack with a left hook or the jab. If you force him to consistently start with the right, something he is not used to or familiar with, it will open up opportunities for Pac.

That being said, I still think that Cotto is too strong for Pac and Cotto takes it.

... but then again, will those blocks hold Cotto's strength, Cotto will go through those blocks like he walkin thru a wall.

cotto is to slow to cope up with manny's speed, it would be very easy for manny to read his movement early on, manny can easily dock his head to avoid every punches that cotto will land and return with combos straight to cottos chin, we saw that in hatton and dlh fight and it will be very easy for him to do that to the slower cotto plus cotto couldn't take a punch, he always wobbles when hit on his glass chin, what more if pacquiao's punches land on him. i just can't see cotto beating pacquiao by mere natural strenght.. he has to put speed on his body and hand to match the pacman

so you WOULD know more than Pac's trainers huh? even Freddie roach n his team said that Cotto might be Too big and is too of a good body puncher, its a big risk to take against PAC, wit that said, shut up!! please, u dont know what ur talkin about.

---------------------------------
finally someone sees what i see in cotto...listen cotto is a very good solid fighter......however i truly feel his footwork is his downfall, he is one of the most robotic fighters i've seen, he's constantly looking down at his feet looking for readjustments, there's no fluidity to his movements, and a super quick fighter ala pac-man and mayweather will be able to take advantage of cotto.......while veryone would say floyd is afraid of cotto i truly believe that floyd would totally tag cotto all night long in route to a easy win......bottom line floyd is tooooo fast and has way to much defensive ability for cotto to even touch him....and for those who wish to bring up the mosley fight, mosley is fast but not as fast as floyd, plus mosley now is a fighter who looks to stand and deliver, and was pretty much there for cotto.....

And let's not forget that judah rocked cotto, slow ass margarito plaster or not was able to tag cotto all night as well.....

So as far as pac-man/cotto or floyd/cotto, i truly believe that speed would win out, yeah cotto's strong, but that means nothing is you can't connect!!!

Furthermore cotto has no stamina, trust me clottey will test him throughout their matchup!!! Clottey is stay busy in the trenches body punching type fighter, we'll see how cotto handles th epressure that clottey will surely bring that night!!!

Zab was faster than Floyd, and Mosley is the same, what happened to those fighters? once those body shots hit, ur stamina, strength and speed will collapse in a blink of an eye.

lol You just compared Hatton to Cotto..

Hatton has a questionable chin, and a pretty weak offense. Cotto has a better chin and an elite offense. lol The difference is night and day.

How can even the most die hard Paq fans be so delusional to the fact that the majority of Paq's opponents don't have offense? I mean steppin up to fight Cotto, I can't believe Freddie Roach and company actually built up that kind of nerve finally. They're finally gonna get back in the ring with another guy that will, and can throw some elite choice of punches.

But I said along time ago, that if Paq beat Hatton there is literally no more over-rated guys to cherry pick for Roach. Paq is literally in the fire now, he's surrounded by talent now. There's no more stiffs out there.

damn son, i love that clip u got of Pac vs Marquez, Pac look so slow in that part and weak.

lol, that's not the best analogy cause cotto can't walk through walls you fail

so you WOULD know more than Pac's trainers huh? even Freddie roach n his team said that Cotto might be Too big and is too of a good body puncher, its a big risk to take against PAC, wit that said, shut up!! please, u dont know what ur talkin about.

that's because cotto IS too big for pac. its a mismatch. I dunno why you guys still want to see this fight.

Na it wont be easy for cotto. Pac will give hi trouble early on with his movement.
