Mellow truthfully...
I want Cotto to win, just because I have come to admire his work ethic, seriousness for the sport and he has truley earned my respect.
And you know my history with Cotto's career and his fans.
Remember I created the "Cotto is a HUGE ~~> ??" Thread
And I made infamous the vacant belt argument...
So i can honestly say, I was a critic of cotto for valid reasons.
Simply because his fans place standards on other fighters that they didnt even place on cotto... Which made me place tougher standards on cotto than I would have normally have.
I honestly feel Cotto, is the only 1 of 3 fighter right now with the skill, physical , and mental attributes to make a fight with Mayweather competitive.
But what worries me about this fight is I feel Cotto is going to chase Pacquiao around the ring which he should not do, because Pacquiao is a serious enough puncher in which he can hurt cotto.
I have always said this about Cotto.
Cotto Flaws....Of Getting HIT alot , and wasting a lot of punches, Is a flaw you can not afford to have against The Elite Fighters And ESPECIALLY a fighter like Pacquiao... and sadley enough he still gets hit too much.
Cotto Flaws
Swings wide,
Waste Punches,
has a shaky chin
Cant stop straight right hands or uppercuts,
and is under progressing in the lateral movement department.
Cotto has always had a good jab, cotto has always had good speed....Cotto is a good fighter...real good...he is a good body puncher and works hard..
But Pacquiao, is a freak.
PACQUIAO is an offensive fighting machine who overwhelms opponents through blistering hand speed and power. His defense is somewhat suspect since he is a “hit me and I’ll hit you harder” kind of fighter, but his last fights against bigger opponents have shown that he can deflect or absorb heavy punishment.
Manny Pacquaio as of right now belongs in every catergory Floyd Mayweather
jr is in although not better than floyd yet, Manny can soon pass floyd up as the greatest fighter of this generation including Floyd if he continue doing what he is doing. Think about this, Manny Pacquaio has fought in three divisions in one year.
Manny and Floyd have both proven that "Size doesnt win fights" Smarts and Ability win fights
So with that said, I am picking Pacquiao to win.
Reason: Cotto gets hit too much !
