Cotto is nothing more than a tune up for Manny Pacquiao.

    I have to dissagree Cotto chin is nowhere as easy to find as Hatton's


    Hatton jumps in with his hands down swinging chin up in the air.

    Cotto's chin is always tucked... hidden in gloves or behind a shoulder(well not always obviously)

    Cotto doesn't charge in he uses angles...though he does take a big step when throwing the jab but the right hand is usally up around his cheek and his chin is down.

      as I have said before..Manny stops Miguel. Cotto is too easy to hit and it doesn't help that Manny is a southpaw that is very fast and can punch. Manny doesn't let anything stop him in pursuit of his dream match against Floyd. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

          I hope you're right. A great big man should beat a great little man. Cotto cannot win a UD, he's got to KO pac & i've got a hunch he does.

                yes I guess you are right to some people Cotto is nothing but a tune up fight but does Trinidad /Hopkins or Pavlik/Hopkins ring a bell everyone counted Hopkins out,they all thought he was a tune up and you see what happened,Im not comparing Cotto to Hopkins by any means but Hopkins was also a tune up and he wooped their ass

                  you make a good point in the above post...we will have to see how he responds in this fight against Manny. This is obviously the biggest fight of his career.

                    OPINION!

                    Cotto has had two fights since and won them both..1 against the third ranked WW in the world...FACT


                    Some people need to be taught the difference between facts and opinions.

                      I will be remembering thread on Nov 15th

                      You just gave us Burner type foot in mouth material.

                      and if Cotto is just a tune up for Pacquiao and he dropped Clottey and beat him in a SD

                      What does that make Clottey?
                      I know you'll come up with some MSG conspiracy theory only you and that recluse Pullcounter believe.(MSG is headquarters to the secret Puerto Rican boxing cult...and no PR will ever lose a round there) but in reality that would make him a pitiful excuse for a boxer...we all know that's not true....isn't that right Street?

                      Anyway...The acknowledged omnipresent omnipotent lord king of all charlies better not lose to the past it,feather fisted, soft chinned, tune up level, coward Miguel Cotto.

                      Squeal Piggy would finally have proof that GOD doesn't exists if that happened.
