If Cotto Handled Mosley, Why can't he take on Pac?

Cause Cotto has uncanny timing ability. If he can catch Pac and time his in and out movement he will punish Pac. That is the key to the fight.

But people are ****** and ignore this. On that note I'm wayy too drunk to argue over this fight any more tonight.

Pacquiao's a southpaw...and Pac is faster on his feet than Shane. Shane's hands are what's still fast about him.

And Pac doesn't fight toe-to-toe for the whole fight(in and out) unlike Shane who fought the wrong fight against Miguel...

And Pacquiao isn't old and out of his prime...

With all that said I give Cotto a good chance due to the size advantage,him being a very good bodypuncher, and him having good timing...I still got Pac by decision

I'm start to lean towards Cotto based on that fact .

This fight is so hard to judge I reckon it could go to a draw!

Yea that's the key. I mean, Pac's feet are insanely fast. I rarely have ever seen in and out movement like his. There is a good chance that Cotto will just not be able to catch up, and in that case Pac will beat his ass up.

BUT, there's also a good chance that Cotto will stick his jab while Pac's coming in, and that will be HUGE trouble for Pac.

The entire fight will be decided between rounds 4-6. If Cotto times Pac by those rounds he will stop Pac. If not, Cotto will probably get stopped.

What has Pac got to offer that Mosley didn't to Cotto?
Punches coming from different angles is one I guess.

Its a case of the old "styles make fights" cliche. Which in this case is true.

Pacs volume straight punches and in-and-out style make it a tough fight for Cotto.

Pacs defence and head movement is much better than Moselys also.

But Cotto is a good boxer with good speed. He will be dangerous throughout the fight and will throw bombs to the body that Pac will have to take.

Should be great.

main 2 reason is he's a southpaw and people think he's damage goods

Pac is better than Cotto, he's just not a WW. Cotto too big for him.
