Miguel Cotto struggles against fighters with fast hands

[Verstyle]

Keep in Mind...He does struggle with these fighters...And these fighters are not an elite fighter that can be compared P4P to Pacquiao.
Cotto does have issues early on and usually breaks them down. These fighters are not Pacquiao...

You must really like Pacquiao a lot.

Whats your point

It's soooo clear. You cannot see it? It's staring right at you.

some people cannot see the fight for what it is. They are so in love with certain fighters that they wear blinders.

Your assessment if vague...
Any boxer struggle with quick handed contenders..

Cotto is slow but in this division not too many are quick but instead they got heavy hands

[Beater_of_ass]

With who Cotto? It may be a slight step up...far from elite. Pac seems to be doing great in the zone...Cotto not so..

A guy loses one fight, potential a tainted fight and he's not elite? He's ranked 1 or 2 P4P in his division which happens to be the deepest division in boxing. He's certainly better than Paqs last 3 opponents, in Paqs last fight against quality opposition he won by a single point, what Cotto did against Clottey. I know you're a nuthugger of Paq, but lets be real man... these guys have fought nothing but the best throughout their careers. Minus Paqs last 3, against at best, "good fighters," these guys have essentially the same record against TOP notch opposition.

Manny has one loss against the elite, the fight in which he suffered a brutal cut. That was the first Morales fight, he went on to win the trilogy. He then had those two FOTY's with Marquez. On top of him beating Barrera down, they guy did great and only suffered one loss against the best of the best. Cotto beats Judah, Mosley, and Clottey and suffers his only loss in a fight that was quite possibly tainted with Marg and his hand wraps. Point is to not get your head overblown over Manny, he's done great but he has shown he has weaknesses. I know Cotto has his but what makes him great is all but one time he was able to pick himself up or learn his opponents strategy and refine his own technique and win. This isn't going to be a pushover for either guy, I can't wait for this one.

don't forget he beat Carlos Quintana too.

Fight probably won't even happen now.

Lately it seems he may struggle with his stamina...

[Motofan]

I think Cotto wont even see the punches coming. He has been more hittable the last few fights, and the combination of speed and power will be too much. I dont even think Cotto will ever really be in the fight. I have no dog in the fight at all, but I see Pac getting a KO within 4 or 5. A highligh reel style ko. But I hope Im wrong and we get a great war with the best man winning.

[JM1]

This is my own assessment that I think can't be disputed. Fighters with quick hands and any kind of punch give him issues. Zab Judah had him in trouble early in their fight, and an almost 40 year old Shane pushed him to his limits. This is why I think Pac KO's Cotto mid rounds.

i wont argue that cotto struggles against fighters with fast hands, but he always find a way to win.
