Could Pacquiao take the type of punches Cotto landed on Margarito?

[Luis12]

No. Margarito has one of the best chins I have ever seen. It's simply ridiculous.

CORRECTION: HAD. not anymore...

lol

pac can't take those punches

[street bully]

HELLLLLLLLL NO. If Cotto landed the **** he landed on Margarito in the first 4 rounds on Pacquiao, Pacquiao would be asleep. However, Pacquiao will not be getting hit, and Cotto will be hitting air.

[hi-five]

I don't think pacquiao blocks punches with his face like margarito.

But that's where I think the way people see this fight going gets a bit jaded. Pacquiao is NOT walking out of that fight untouched. His defense has gotten better, but he still leaves himself open and is now contending against one of the best jabs and overall accurate punchers in the game.

Trust me, Pac will get hit. The question lies with how well he can handle it.

Apparently JMM has something else to say abut that lol.

But nah, of course Pacquiao isn't going to be a sitting duck, but that also doesn't mean he walks out of the fight untouched. That idea is what is making people believe he mops the floor with Cotto which IMO isn't the smartest way to look at it (especially if you're a betting man).

He will get hit, not much though. Also his speed and power will have Cotto throwing much less than usual. Cotto will be out by the 8th round.

The real question is....

Will Cotto be able to get anything off when Pacquiao turns on the heat?

Honestly, this is the only reason this fight isn't a mismatch. We don't know how Pac takes Cotto's punches. If he can take it, this fight will be a Manny domination. If he is somewhat able to, it will be a close tough fight. If he can't, kiss Manny goodbye within eight.

[Pugilistic™]

Hell no.

That would be well too much for the smaller Pacquiao to handle.

why pac avoid diaz and casamayor??
