7 Reasons Why Pacquiao Wins the Cotto Fight

[iBox]

Cotto is definently physically bigger than Pac. He has a larger body mass. Maybe not much taller but his body is much larger. He makes Pac look like a stick.

Pacquiao can't be takin bodyshots all night...

Isn't that what Hatton said?

I remember posting up something similar to this post on houseofboxing .com awhile back before Tito fought hopkins; point is that I couldn't see how Bernard was going to be able to handle Tito at all. Come fight night Bernard showed me what a world class fighter he was and all my posts didn't matter cause at the end of the fight Tito couldn't compete. You can have a post on how great Manny is and all his weapons in his repertoire but come fight night its a whole different story.

I do not know what we would do here on BS without your superior wisdom

[Konchi]

Speed is the key to the fight,But if Cotto improve his footwork and head move this will be a long fight

probably continue bickering like little school girls arguing about whose tampons are better until fight night....lol

samu... also you need to stop that "you cant hit what you cant see" bull**** cuz manny aint no ****ing ghost. he will be there and will be hit. morales hit him, jmm hit him even old dehydrated dela hoya hit him so what makes you think cotto cant hit him ????? did he develop some supernatural power???? this is boxing bro they both have 2 hands. no hard feelings bro

Yeah, no hard feeling man, I just get tired of the same recycled, second-hand drivel that gets spouted on here. At least my sig line is original rather than something I picked up from an episode of 24-7 when joke coach Mayweather decided to open his trap.

I'm not sayng Cotto can't or won't hit him. Undoubtedly, he will. All I'm saying is it isn't as simple as "timing kills speed".

i can sorta understand his point but i dont necessarily agree D....although you can make the comparisons between tito and manny, im not so sure that you can compare miguel's skillset, or anyone for that matter, to that of hopkins


Nard had an old school, ring savvy that miguel doesnt have....he pulled every trick in the book in workin tito over....im not sure if miguel has those tricks

I understand your point! What I was getting at is that we won't know what will happen till the fight happens. I for one see this as a 50/50 fight...Pac having the speed, and Cotto boxing and timing like he has done before. I also had B-Hop beating Tito...never liked Tito's stance!!!

Cottos defense dont match with Mannys offense Plain and simple. Styles makes fights Cottos style is perfect for Manny and Bad for Cotto...

Why not!? Lets say you hit me about 5 times with real fast hands, and then I catch you with one good punch while you are leaving your face open. It CAN happen! Stop saying it can't. We don't know what we are going to see until the fight happens. Unless any of us is a physic lets stop making predictions since this is boxing and anything CAN happen!

I have watch some of Cotto's old fights and I must say that Pacquiao can beat him. Here are the reasons:

1. Cotto is a converted southpaw - Pacquiao's last three fights were: southpaw (Diaz), converted southpaw (Oscar), and pseudo-southpaw (left hand dominant Hatton). Manny Pacquiao who is born ambidextrous (adept in using both hands in his day-to-day activities), seems to be stronger when fighting left hand dominant fighters.

2. Cotto is not a predominantly counter-puncher - The only way to beat Pacquiao is to counter him. Even that can sometimes backfires, as Pacquiao has improved dramatically, countering even the counterpuncher Marquez. Cotto doesn't have the counterpunching speed, reflex, hand-eye coordination and superb timing of Marquez.

De la Hoya tried to be a counter-puncher against Pacquiao, unfortunately Oscar's physicality is of subpar standard and what makes it worst he's left-hand dominant. What's more Pacquiao can now fight backwards.

3. Cotto gets tired - Cotto has a habit of tapering off after the mid-rounds. Pacquiao has a reputation of having freakish stamina reservoir. Manny is a throwback to an era where rounds are more than a dozen.

4. Cotto is much slower than Pacquiao - Speed is an inborn gift. You can't teach speed. You either have it or you don't.

Don't expect Pacquiao's speed to diminish due to weight. Remember that since 2004, Pacquiao is used to entering the ring as essentially a welterweight (146 lbs. during his 1st Marquez fight).

5. Cotto is not physically big - Pac and Cotto has almost the same height and have an identical reach. Sure, Cotto is bulkier, but you have to remember that Pacquiao spars with middleweights, some of which he knocked down.

6. Cotto turtles - When on the defensive, Cotto enters the turtle mode. Pacquiao has long added to his offensive arsenal fake jabs, up and down feints, with 3 or 4 punch fast combos from different angles. Manny smart fast footwork also ensure of him having high percentage of accurate punches landing when faced with turtle defense (see Diaz, De la Hoya and Hatton).

7. Cotto's feet are usually planted - Pacquiao moves in and out, side to side, throwing trajectory angle power punches while moving at an unpredictable direction at an uncanny speed. Cotto's feet moves when he's on the defensive and when his arms are tired.

remember, manny will be fighting a real WW, all your point won't matter

If I hit you with 5 times, what's to say those shots are not gonna hurt you? Are you suggesting that, because they are fast, they are not powerful? If I hit you 5 times and the first punch hurts you (or at least forces you to respect my power) you're gonna be covering up and trying to protect yourself. Pacquiao needs to get Miguel's respect early.
