Can Cotto handle Pacquiao's Power + Work rate?

[hotshoes]

the question is can cotto handle pacs speed

clottey's was hitting cotto with no problem at all. so i think cotto will be having a very hard time with manny's speed

i wonder why people already forget what happened against judah and mosley. it was a bad fight against clottey but it was more due to the cut. he didn't quit and kept fighting. the man showed heart and tried to give a good show.

now at 140 pac would eat cotto alive...at 147 it's another story. or people forget that pac hit DLH with everything and didn't hurt him. not even once.

I've already said my case in some previous thread. Cotto has the advantage in Physical size againts a smaller Pacquiao but thats just it... Pacquiao has the Advantage in Speed, Conditioning, Power, Agression, and Ability. But this will be a more tougher fight than Ricky Hatton.

Cotto kills Pac...he won't have the cut handicap!!!

[THRILLA77]

as of rite now i think this fight is 50/50.......

[fabzmm]

why compare clottey to pac? clottey is x2 the better tehcnical fighter. cotto will stop pac.

I hear Manny is already training for some head butt moves so don't get your hopes up.

Believe me,u all better not be trying to say Pacman beats Cotto based on the Clottey fight!!Because Clottey is a very good fighter with tons of skills and is as good as any top welterweights!!!Pacman is not as big as Clottey,or as technically sound,if Pacman cant back Cotto up,its a wrap!!The winner of Pacman-Cotto is going to be who can back the other guy up,because neither one can fight backing up!!

I know that Cotto's win over Clottey was a little controversial but didn't he spend a lot of time backing up in that fight? I am not saying Cotto's great at it but he pulled off a win didn't he?
