Miguel Cotto struggles against fighters with fast hands

[rob6465]

If the fight gets signed I think it will be a war. I'm a fan of both fighters, so I'm not happy to see them fight. I don't know who is going to win and I cant really make a prediction all I can say is that I know it's going to be a great fight. Pac and cotto

yep, it will be.

Cotto strugles with big WW like Margacheato and Clottey. Cotto handle Judah speed and he used timing to counter Mosley speed.

Cotto will handle Pacquiao speed just fine.

Why is everybody attacking me? I just stated some facts, that's why I said it can't be disputed. You can't deny that Cotto struggles against fast hands. Not necessarily all fighters have as big issues as Cotto does. I just brought it up to call to attention the possibility of him being caught and his fights can change dramatically. Die hard Cotto fans see him as infallible, I just pointed out a flaw in the armor

That Pac can punch though I don't think Pacman's punching has ever been an issue for him. What will be an issue however is whether he can take a punch at higher weights. Diaz, ODLH, and Hatton couldn't answer those questions so now it'll be up to Cotto to determine. However, I don't think that Pacman will be able to KO Cotto. It took an unnesseary amount of punishment (referee and corner's fault) to put Diaz away and ODLH said he wasn't really hurt by Pacman's power at 147. Hatton was a flush KO in Pacman's credit, but the fool had left himself completly to the punches and deserved it.

yep, cotto is not as careless as hatton. Look at all of cotto's fights and except for margarito, when have you seen cotto get beat/punished. PLEASE do not include headbutts. Cotto has been knocked down, hit hard but always came out on top. I really don't think this fight will happen because roach/pac team will make it very difficult for cotto to say yes. Cotto has no problem with 65-35 or 70-30 split, he just wants pacman to prove he can fight at 145 or more like the big boys in the welterweight division. Remember, cotto is not going after pacman's belt, pacman is going after cotto's belt.

Cotto will give pacman the money and all cotto wants is the weight, which pacman/roach will never agree.

i agree, he struggles for 1-3 rds and then he destroys the fast hands.

He has so far....of course if you keep getting caught like that, it's bound to catch up with you.

[rob6465]

Mike ruler is right. Cotto struggles against fast hands and then cotto catches up to those fast hands and destroys those fighters so mike ruler is part right.

Eventually. It caught up with roy jones, sugar Ray, trinidad. YEP

[mike ruler]

those guys never took that serious punch until they were older and a step slower. Cotto might catch it sooner.
