Miguel Cotto/Golden Boy Conspiracy Theories Begin

[TOBYLEE1]

cotto has good timing with his punches and a great jab. pac's wayyy faster than him, but cotto isn't slow. i'd say he's pretty close to marquez in terms of speed, but worse than marquez in terms of timing. still, he's got good enough timing to land on pac huge shots

if you think it'll be a blowout and pac will destroy cotto, then you're willing to bet big on pac, right?

I agree on Cotto's timing and the jab is so powerful and offbeat that it creates a lot of problems when he uses it(ask Mosley). Also he punches when the other fighter is on the offensive when he is in the pocket. Pac has explosive power and speed with it. Under Roach he moves as he punches and his right hook has developed into a real weapon. Pac only weakness is the body, Cotto has a leaky defense.

wanna put all your points on pac not getting a stoppage?

im all ready betting with somebody else but why do you want to do that?? How the hell is Cotto gonna last 12 rounds with Pacquiao when he gets hit more then hookers?? Look im not saying Cotto isnt good, but hes just not on Pacs level. all thus laying on the ropes, and getting hurt almost every fight is not gonna work against Pacquiao. he will lay on the ropes again and Pacquiao will finish him off, Pacquiao watched that Cotto-Clottey fight and said " forget Mosley, Cotto just gets hit all the time" this is batting practice on nov 14th. and im BORICUA BUT MONEY TALKS AND IT WILL BE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!!

i don't think pac is strong enough to back cotto up

pac weakness is the body, which ironically is where cotto does all his damage

cotto's weakness is the upper, and pac doesn't have a great upper. he may develop it though

it's a pretty even fight if you ask me

I think Mayweather beats Pac too but I dont see anybody else thats gonna beat Pacquiao.

Mosley and Marquez have the style to beat Pac. Not knocking on Pac cause I think the Pac can beat almost any fighter around that weight. But when it comes to the elite fighters is never a walk in the park. Mayweather would have a lot of problems with Pac fast straight punches. If you watch Floyd he doesn't punch when fast striaght punches are comming at him (Judah, Delahoya). Pac has great stamina and might match Floyd in speed. Again not saying that one fighter would beat the other but these matches would be very intriguing.

If you basing the claim on Pac KOing Cotto on the KO on Hatton or Diaz you might be disapointed. DelaHoya took a beating from Pac and never went down. He hurt Marquez (and Marquez hurt him back) but couldn't put him away. Cotto has been hurt and even quit on a fight but never been out on his back. I base on what Ive seen but anything can happen at fight night. Pac is not gonna be a ball of fire on all 12 rounds against such an offensive fighter that hits hards and goes to the body so well.

Arum must be fuming internally. We all know that DLH is about to sweeten a deal for Cotto.

Yeah, after the Pac fight, he could easily make the Mayweather fight. That is a tough fight for Arum to make.

You're talking about one prospect. Every promoter is trying to get as many good fighters as possible. You sound ******.

Cotto does do great work to the body. Roach will have Pac with a sweet uppercut by Nov14th. he used to throw the right hook a little bit but unlaoded it against Hatton, Roach his a great trainer.

I dont know guys, in my eyes, the only way Cotto wins is landing a Tarver punch, because I dont see him outboxing Pacquiao for 12 rounds

+1 agree that's what i think
