Matthew R. Grizzle's avatar TOP 10 REASONS WHY COTTO BEATS PACQUIAO!

[Jay26]

We are tired of the talking,just bring the fight

Agree 100%, I never seen any "articles" that help you come fight night. Truth to be told: I don't agree with 70% of what he wrote on this piece,however, he does make a couple of good points.

[rob6465]

i dont agree with this guy at all.....how do you give cotto the edge on experience?.....just based on mosely fight?...pac fought jmm2x,mab2x and em3x.....

lol... Cotto fought Mosley, Clottey, Margarito. He has fought top welterweights and pacman has fought fighters UNDER welterweights.

[Luis12]

don't turn this into a flame thread....let's post things that make sense....

Speed- Cotto beat mosley at his own game. Mosley is way faster than pac

Power- Again...Mosley,Margarito,Judah, "clottey"

and i agree on the part that said that cotto won't go in the ring the hatton. when that fight start i said: WTF's wrong with hatton fighting like that.

i'm not saying that pac can't beat cotto...i'm saying that cotto can beat pac more easy than pac beat cotto

55/45 to cotto

Co-Sign!

I do think Cotto can beat MP but to give Cotto so many advantages like this author does is border line CRAZY.....Cotto has a shot for the upset but it won't be as easy as this clown made it sound.

imo, cotto got this fight. the only way pac wins is if he catches cotto with a wild punch . skillwise cotto is a lot better than pac. pac has improved a lot but in the heat of the fight he goes back to his old right straight hand. if cotto somehow gets a cornerman that help him with his own flaws and shows him manny's weakness he should win this fight. i like these 2 old school warriors, but i see cotto winning this battle.

I agree Will almost everything he says.

Cotto has never had a problem with faster guys, his timming is so good that he neutralizas the speed of his opponent.

The power is obvious, no need to argue that, same with strentgh.

In the experience, I get what he says, he aint saying Cotto is experienced more overall, he is saying between the 2 fighting styles Cotto has more experience with guys taht fight similar to Pac than the ther way around!!!

In the will the department I put them about even, Cotto needs to prove something here cuz too may people are doubting him.

Chin deparment I put Cotto ahead, manny has never been hit by a WW and he has been hurt by FWs!!!!!!!

In overall Cotto is too much for Pac, plus style wise, Cotto is a similar match as JMM, diference is, that marquez is better with uppercuts, and Cotto is etter at body punching.

Cotto KO8!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't say that now!..Corley, Torres, and Judah all lightning...and were truly the reasons why they hurt Cotto!..

Cotto got hit with punches he didn't see coming and got STUNNED by ALL 3!..now Pacquiao can be just as fast and has that POP!..but that will only go on for about 3 rounds until Cotto times him and it's downhill from there..

But Pacquiao definitely has the tools to hurt Cotto and he might be the one to know how to finish him..I highly doubt it..but it's very probable..it's hard to tell at this point..

Good analysis. cotto struggles with right hands and uppercuts, but pac throws a straight left not right. as for the uppercuts, it wont be a factor cuz pac will be boxing and moving. he wont stand there and trade with cotto enough to use the uppercuts unless he's able to hurt cotto then he can throw his combo's and use uppercuts. it will be a great fight but i expect it to go the distance. i got cotto by ud or sd.
