    Q.
    Urkhal
    Judah
    Gomez
    Jennings


    Out of his last 8 fights...only 3 have not been by K.O/T.K.O...He has never been a 1 punch guy but he will put a massive beating on you.

    Anyway the only 3 fighters that he has failed to stop have all been world class and all have stone beards.

    Clottey...never been down untill the Cotto fight...cept for his pro debut...never been stopped and prally never will at the weight.

    Mosley...Only dropped 2 times in entire career and never at WW...Never been stopped inside of 12...Chin can not be questioned.

    Margarito...Was thought to be Mr. unbreakable until recently...A sadistic bastard that smiles when you land a bomb on his face.

    I think Cotto's power is just fine...Some guys your not going to K.O it's just the way it is.

    Put somebody in there with a average chin and it will get smashed.

      if cotto can't KO a dude that is 10 lbs lighter than him, he needs to quit boxing for reals.

He knew he couldn't stop this guy and he was getting his faced pounded in and the outcome was going to be...KO if he didn't pull out. Understand better?
        I may lack math skills but I don't lack common sense. Oscar was a zombie in that fight. He was DEAD. Did Oscar chin check him in that fight? NO. Was he in a hard fight? NO. Manny has yet to taste true WelterWeight power. Along with the Hatton KO, Manny is being made look like a beast from another planet whose power can KO any human. People forget that manny looks human himself when matched up against skilled boxers. Miguel Cotto is also a skilled boxer. Manny is in for the fight of his life.

          he knocked clottey down with a jab and if I recall correctly also knocked Gomez down with a jab...really don't see how his power is overrated when he's stopped many of his opponents at 147

              You still didnt get it...Cotto has a style that Manny will devourer. Cotto is in the fight of his life. You really need to do some homework. Who said Cotto dont have skills. Were you just having a moment? They are both two skilled gifted boxers...with two totally different styles and work rate. Both which favor Manny in this fight.

                    Thats how people overrate ****. Clottey got a flash knock down from being off balanced. His legs were not positioned correctly

                      I disagree. Your probably thinking about Cotto's swarming style. If you watch his fight against Mosley, you can see Miguel getting on his toes, boxing and utilizing his jab. He did the same against Margarito but Tony's pressure was too much. PAC doesn't have the strength, pressure, workrate or chin to replicate that type of performance on Cotto. Pac's best bet is to try and outbox Cotto. But Cotto in the past has been able to beat fast southpaw boxers such as Judah and Quintana, both which are bigger and stronger than Pacquiao.
