How do you see Cotto VS Manny playing out in the ring?

[GOD HATES ME]

Will Cotto be walking Manny down? Will Manny be backing Cotto up? Will it be an all out war with both parties trying to take the oppositions head off in the middle of the ring?

I for one hope that both fighters keep there composure and don't swing for the fence looking for an early KO. They both need to be tactical and very measured about there output. Cotto more than Manny in terms of trying to not gas out early. But Manny also needs to be reserved about his approach because Manny has shown weakness to the body earlier in his career.

It's going to be a real pressure cooker of a fight being that in the opinion of some Cotto lost two of his last three fights. So Cotto is in there to prove he still can ****, which he may not get credit from some being that it's against a smaller man. But Manny is in there trying to prove he can **** with anyone.

This is one for the ages. Although it isn't Floyd VS Manny it will still be humongous and it will definitely be memorable regardless of the outcome. If Cotto gets KOd in 1 round it will be legendary, if Cotto KOs Manny midway through the fight it will be legendary. These two dudes love to trade in the middle of the ring so it's going to make for a hell of a fight.

Now that I've ranted and gotten way off topic, how do you guys see this fight playing out?

Pacman is gonna be the aggressor in this fight..Cotto is gonna depend on his side to side movements while throwing hooks and hard body shots..like he did with mosley..hes gonna try and keep Manny turning to keep him from throwing those quick 3-4 punch combos..Manny is gonna have to go for broke to beat Cotto..and Cottos is gonna have to box him perfectly..pick his shots and try to capitilize on hard shots landed.

They feel each other out

pacquiao lands firsts and cotto misses.

Pacquiao starts hitting Cot6to at will but takes couple shots he didnt like.

Pac gets weary of Cottos power and starts to back up. Pacquiao fights on back foot Cotto agresses taking heat but giving it back.

Cotto catches Pacquiao with a nice left hook and stuns pac. Cotto goes to work and KOs pac after nice body work and trapping the lil pac in the corner

[MANGLER]

Pac darts in and out throwin combos til Cotto blasts him wit sumthin. If he don't, Pac cruises to UD or possible KO via accumulation. If he does, Cotto KO.

[GOD HATES ME]

I wonder if Manny will still be darting around the ring come the 11th and 12th rounds if it makes it that far. Cotto will definitely land something serious to the body over the course of the fight so I wonder how much that will affect or change whatever game plan they come up with for dealing with Cotto.

Zipping all around the ring is going to prove difficult after Cotto gets to his body. Not to say Cotto doesn't have anything to worry about, for example uppercuts and revamping his defense entirely. But I think Manny has more to worry about then Cotto does at the moment.

pac is in and out for the first 3 round very cautious, mixes in his right hand that catches him everytime. Cotto face starts bleeding and he goes in run mode. Pac stays in the center of the ring and evades the bully trying to get him on the ropes everynow and then. His head movement makes him slip cottos left hooks, which he counters with both left and right hooks. Cotto around round seven lacks stamina and is on his bike, when he can only try arm punches that dont hurt pPacky. Manny wins a large UD

[M.I Truth ?]

Many Blazes Cotto ealy with speed and Cotto will look uncomfortable early. As the fight does on Cotto gets into the fight and hi shots start to have an effect on Manny. I think Cotto may stop Many mid-late fight.
