Do you really think that Pacquiao will stop Cotto within 5 or 6?

    Yeah I agree...I was saying it's a totally different pressure and one Cotto will be able to deal with more because his main problem was fighting on the back foot whic he's not comfortable with.

    Cotto is too big but i dont think he can catch Pacquiao that much. Pac will be out of range or well defended before Cotto will return fire every Pac attack...
    Cotto has excellent timing though.

    Footwork will be the factor here which is overlooked mostly.
    Pac's footwork and movement has looked immense recently, you're right, that will give Cotto problems.

      Simple as that.

      Where Cotto throws Pac won't be or will be covered up.

      When Pac throws they will land flush on Cotto's mouth and add up.

      No answer for his accurate punching IMO.

      He'll just kick his ass all over the place.

      Based on what? You're telling me that Juan Manuel Marquez was able to nail Pacman with everything he threw but Cotto won't touch Pacman! Dude you seriously need to stop sniffing the glue! Cotto is a lot faster than you think and has a lot more power than Juan Manuel Marquez, so when he does catch Pac, and he will trust me, he will not only buzz him, like Marquez did, but also drop Pac on his ass for the count!

        I think Pacquiao will stop him late, in 9 or 10.

        Pacquiao is virtually Cotto's worst nightmare. Speed, power, footwork, work rate. Cotto goes down late.


        We all know Cotto becomes a shell of himself after 6-7.

          yup...as with my PAC-DLH prediction; if PAC is not dented and still standing after 8 rounds, it means that miguel is in deep ****

              you never know... cotto's body punching might have slowed pac down by then.

                this is only thought of as an even fight due to cotto's lack of performance last fight (as if there wasn't reasons for it though) and pac's superperformances against guys either 1. weightdrained or 2. defenseless that were in pac's favor.

                if cotto gets his **** together and be the old cotto like we all know, lights out for pac. the only thing i see ****in cotto up is pacman's speed. his power can be handled by cotto fairly well. but a combo of it, or a shot he doesn't see? i read an interviewer ask mayorga, "how do you take the shots when you leave you chin out like that?" and he replied, "most of the time it isn't the shots you see but the shots you do not see."

                man is that true. speed vs timing. we'll see.

                  if cotto is to win this fight, he needs to end the fight early....


                  im sorry but going into deep waters with PAC is not going to be favorable for cotto...PAC has an extra gear in the championship rounds whereas miguel seems to wind it down

                      yeah, taking pac to deep waters is a bad idea, especially for a gasser like cotto... that said, pac's never got hit to the body as hard as cotto can hit. it should atleast wear pac down a some.
