Who is better skilled Cotto or Marquez?

[S.G.]

Juan Diaz circa the Juan Manuel Marquez fight is a better overall pressure fighter than Antonio Margarito circa the Miguel Cotto fight

[ИATAS]

Marquez is more skilled but cotto is the tougher fight for pacquiao. Cotto is a lot stronger and can hurt pacquiao, marquez cant really hurt him he can stun him and catch him but not hurt.

Plus, I believe if pacman fought marquez right now he would win much more decisively than in the past.

[nujabes77]

lolz do you even have to ask? marquez is 2 classes above cotto... and that's me being nice

[WhoreUs]

Cotto also has the skill to fight either orthodox or southpaw, something Marquez has never done.

yup.

i remember marg whacking him equally in the southpaw and orthodox stance.



cotto looked great doing it against the great alfonso gomez though.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

better speed? better defense? better footwork?

yeah that's why marquez arguably beat twice the #1 p4p fighter in the world and lasted 24 rounds against one of the fastest and hardest hitting featherweights in history.

cotto couldn't even get away from flat footed antonio margarito for 11 rounds.

You know the story there, proven or not.

Clottey,Mosley,Quintana, Judah, Malignaggi,Torres,Corley,Baylley,N'Dou,Maussa, , Abdullaev,Bazan.

All of those champs or former champs, except for abduallesv who was a olipic Gold medalist, oops!!!!!!

No doubt Cotto will be the most skilled fighter that Pac has ever met. Marquez' counterpunching skills pale in comparison to Miguel's. Miguel has impeccable timing and Manny will get tagged every time he comes in. Cotto will bully Manny to the ropes and will slip every punch that Manny throws. Miguel's ring generalship is second to none.

That said, if Miguel comes in at less than 101%, if he gets only 7 hours of sleep the night before the fight(there is a danger of this happening if his hotel bed sheets do not get fluffed just so), if he doesn't get his favored mineral water right after the weigh-in, there is a slim chance that Pac will beat him.

Cmon, Manny, why won't you allow your opponents to have more than 12 pounds on you. It's unfair.
