Bigger Advantage Pacquiao's Speed or Cotto's Power/Weight

[Bushbaby]

Cotto can land punches on Pacman,whether Pacman is faster or not,the biggest question in this fight will be how Pacman handles Cotto's power early!!If Cotto makes Pacman fight backing up,then Cotto seriously has a chance!!If Pacman starts backing Cotto up,it's a wrap,point is both cannot fight backing up,so whoever is strong enough that night to back the other up,the aggressor wins this one!!!

Early in the fight i expect the speed (hands/feet) of pacman and cotto's timming and adaptability to play a big roll in how this fight would turn out.

Early on the hand and foot speed of pacman will give cotto problems. recently he hasnt been fighting exactly the fastest fighters in the sport (ie. margarito, clottey, etc.) ok clottey isnt a slow poke but he's not comparable to that of pacman or mayweather in terms of speed.

As it is already cotto has problems dealing with guys with speed...clottey was beating him to the punch as it is already (especially late).

If cotto doesnt learn and apply a good defensive gameplan of counters and keeping his gloves up, etc he's going to lose late in the fight cuz he might be able to dance with clottey around the ring but someone of pac's speed will just wear him out even faster.

thats going to be the key in this fight...cotto's endurance and defense. he has to have both because a good offense alone or putting all your hopes on stopping pacman isnt a wise choice of gameplan.

If cotto's endurance and defense improve in time for this fight then i believe he can win because he has the power, strength, body work, and size all in his favor...not to mention he's turned into a very talanted boxer (proof is his fights against mosley and the first half of the margarito fight).

thats my opinion...

cotto w/ good defense and endurance wins a either a close decision or possible late fight ko/tko (10th round or later).

cotto without good defense and endurance will end up either losing a big decision or getting stopped possibly.

Pac to small for Cotto. Don't be fooled by the DLH fight.

[nujabes77]

pacquiao is stronger that cotto, believe it

[Gabe is beast]

if cotto can throw off pacquois speed with his timing and jab like in mosley he could end up with the w. If he cant i dont no what will happen.

Depends what weight its at...

Yea the Clottey fight didn't change my mind because I think Clottey is a tough pressure type of fighter that all the welters would have issues with. No shame in struggling against a guy like that. I'm just interested to see what happens as the fight goes on when Pac gets hit hard and consistently. I think the shots from a bigger guy can be the difference in this fight,

No i mean i didnt change my mind because Cotto struggled because i expected him to struggle, Clottey is a very tough good fighter with a great defense. Its just that tough fights catch up to fighters eventually and i'm not sure how Cotto will respond moving forward if his body will recover as fast as it did before. And to your second point i can see Pac getting hit hard but i would be surprised if he gets hit consistently. If he does Cotto will most likely KO him.

only a good counterpuncher like jmm or a fast boxer like pbf can throw off pac's speed and timing.

but it's not only pac's speed they have to contend with. the intangibles like his work rate, relentlessness and explosiveness from all angles.

cotto's weakness is his big booty...
