MANNY PACQUIAO: 10x Faster than Cotto

That's true. What's also true is this:
Manila Ice Perfected: The Right Hook
In past interviews, Pacquiao said he practiced counter-punching (during Diaz, De la Hoya, Hatton training). So By the time he reaches Hatton, it was so automatic, that when Hatton telegraph his left punch, Pacquiao countered with his right hook roll under move, EVEN BEFORE THE HATTON PUNCH.Comment

I would agree, however, as I stated Cotto's jab is faster than Manny's straight left. Are you going to sit here and say that Cotto's jab is slower than Manny's right hook, straight left or essentially anything other than his jab? I'm saying Cotto's jab is his way of watching Manny's move, and its power is near that of a power punch. Its how Cotto will use timing to keep manny from putting his combo's together, he's shown both the power and timing of it. He's knocked down two guys with it, and used the timing perfectly against Mosley and against marg in the early part of the fight. And sure, you can say the guys he knocked down were off balance, but the fact is that it was done with a jab, proving its power.Comment

Yep it does. The 2nd fight shows the skills that Pacquiao has against a good fighter like Marquez but it also shows how vulnerable he can be. Same can be said about Cotto vs Clottey. That fight shows cotto's weaknesses and shows his heart and skills in fighting a big fighter like Clottey who would give any boxer trouble. I think the BEST that could've happened was to realize that the boxer(margarito) that beat him is a known cheater AND having a very, very bad cut and showing heart to go all the way against a TRUE welterweight.Comment

Agree, that's why I don't think Cotto will Bull-rush him. I think Cotto is going to jab, box and go to the body(when he can) and try to slow down pacman. Going to the body WITH POWER slows down every good fighter in history.Comment
