one major flaw that will hurt pacman with cotto

[youreffinkaput]

Neither can fight backing up,whoever starts backing up,goes night night!!

can't fight backing up?

turn on a ****en cotto fight in your life.

[deanrw]

i started off just thinking about mannys speed aswell...but cotto isnt slow either and has 3 times the power manny had and a proven chin...the more i think about it as long as cotto isnt drained i think cotto will ko manny via lefthook to the body..

I highly doubt Manny will risk engaging much early in the fight. He will fight Cotto somewhat like he fought Oscar early and pick his spots. It will not always work as Cotto will be able to reach him at times early. Manny will not even attempt to fight (exchange with) Cotto early. He will try to potshot and maybe cut Cotto, but he will wait for Cotto to tire if he can. If he engaged Cotto early Cotto would tear him up quickly.

I think Roach will have Manny on his bike first 6 rounds if possible.

whoever first brought up the pacman hatton fight..the way hatton fought that night he was begging to get brutally ko'd

I did, but apparently you failed to understand the context. You brought up cotto's chin and how he's 3x more powerful than pacquiao, and I said power is also about timing and accuracy, I mentioned what would happen if cotto got caught by the same punch has hatton did (AND AT THE SAME TIME, acknowledged cotto probably wouldn't be in the same position as hatton though, i.e cotto isn't hatton).

[Bushbaby]

can't fight backing up?

turn on a ****en cotto fight in your life.

Actually,I've seen most of his fights and I'm a fan of both,for the most part please name me fights in which Cotto was on his pedal,excluding the fights with Clottey,Mosley and Margarito!!I do believe Cotto is a pressure fighter and u don't apply pressure backing up kid!!

[Chuckguy]

So how do you guys feel about Manny catching Cotto where he is most vulnerable?
Uppercut up the middle?
