Ummm, taking knees to avoid getting beat the hell up is really not considered a good defense...

Antonio Margarito is a great fighter. Pussfeather turned down 8 million to fight him.

I agree with just about everything you said ...except the part where Margarito is a great fighter....Marg is an average boxer who pressures his opponents but without the plaster we really dont know...

Despite the dancing and gassing, Cotto has only lost once.

He had to be doing something right despite his vulnerabilities.


I am not a huge fan of his late round time outs, but hell, he wins most of them so he obviously is winning more rounds in total.

And he fights everyone.

It doesn't have to be pretty if he gets his hands raised at the end.

Yeah, running. Which you have to admitt, wont work with someone like Pacquiao.

Lovemore N'dou - gassed and running in the final rounds
DeMarcus Corley - caught and buzzed pretty bad
Ricardo Torres - hurt badly and dropped
Zab Judah - busted up and almost did the chicken dance himself
Shane Mosley - gassed and running in the end, again
Antonio Margarito - beatdown and quit
Joshua Clottey - gassed and running, yet again

1. gassed

Props to Miguel for making it this far and finding a way to win the above fights with the exception of the Margarito beatdown. In Manny Pacquiao he faces one of the very best, elite fighters of this era, regardless of the weight difference. And with the kind of vulnerabilities he's shown in the past, chances are pretty damn good that he won't make it to the final bell against the Pacman.

And no, this is not hating, as many of you will be quick to call it. I'm just analyzing the upcoming fight and calling it how I see it.

That's cool Bro, but listen, Manny Pacquiao has "NEVER" been hit by a true Welter Weight.

when pacquiao gets hits he come back at you square so cotto will hit him once he square his body

I like Pac to win this, but Cotto I think isn't going to fight like he did against the welters.

If he stays with the jab and his stamina holds up, Pac could be in quite a lot of trouble because Cotto's jab when it's on is something good.

The thing he can't do, is get discouraged when it doesn't land because he will miss with it.

1. pacquiao has been down by body punch
cotto is one of the best body punches in the game
2. pacquiao has trouble with fighters that use the jab well
cotto has one of the best jab in the game
he has knocked down atleast 3 fighters with his jab.
