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

[Shattered Jaw]

He has got to make sure he doesn't get caught like in the Judah fight. However, you won't see many better uppercuts than the one Judah threw.

I think once Miguel rides the first few rounds he'll punish Pac.

I don't know, but I'm seein Miguel destroy Paq. I think Cotto's gonna be up to the challenge and dead focused for this fight. Cotto's got every tool needed to beat Paq, a serious jab, body shots, and a decent defense/head movement. But that's only if Cotto comes in focused, ready, and confident. If any fight we should be lookin at of Cotto's, I think it's the Zab fight. Cotto handled his speed well, and Paq doesn't have much better defense than Judah. Paq's whole thing is divin in and out against dead, or weight drained bodies. He tried doin that throughout his career with guys who had a set of hands, he wasn't nearly as successful. If Cotto picks up that left hand, lol he's definitely gonna be ripping back. lmao The more I think about it, this fight is gonna be hot.

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.

Real astute observation and one that people don't see. Cotto's timing is exceptional and has even knocked fighters down with a mere jab as a direct result. Unlike his previous fights, Pac will get hit by a significantly heavier puncher and one can only wonder how he'll take the punch. Just how clean and how often will he get hit is ultimately what will determine the fight.

That being said, Cotto WILL get hit and will probably get hit first. The man simply does not move his head and just sits there and waits for an opening. He finds them often enough but with a target that darts in and out, he might get cut up by a two fisted blade.

Cotto's best chance at victory is, as mentioned by the above poster, to time Pac coming in. Then again, that's seems to be the common plan that everyone has coming into a fight with Pac. The problem lies in timing the speed and foot work combined with feints and rythm. Marquez had the perfect tools, but couldn't do enough damage. Cotto is stronger yet he doesn't have the defensive awareness that Marquez possessed.

Huge toss-up.

Exactly.......... but to be fair, there's a lotta IFs in this fight, we'll just have to wait and see.

Shane fought the wrong fight against Cotto. His stamina wasn't on point either. If they ever fight again Shane will beat Cotto

Pac beats Cotto
