Sorry TS, but Dunks says you're wrong. And he knows exactly what he's talkin about cuz he's obviously highly intelligent.

I have read from some Cotto fans that Pacquiao is fast, but not that much faster than Cotto.

I have watch almost all the fights of Cotto more than twice, and I'm telling you Cotto is so much slower than Pacquiao by at least 10x.

I really strongly agree.

his body punches might slow pacquiao down though

Boxers shadow box at a different pace, not everyone goes hard and in no way is Pacquiao 10x faster. I wouldn't even say Pacquiao is 2x faster, things are alot different once you wear the gloves.

No one is denying that, but Cotto isn't as slow as people think. Please go and watch the Cotto Mosley fight, its all over youtube. Cotto wasn't faster than Mosley that night, but his timing was just spot on which can offset all the speed in the world. Cotto's jab is damn near perfect and possible top 3 best in the sport, its powerful and very quick. Cotto fights orthodox, but his a natural southpaw, essentially that "jab" is straight left with solid power on it. Actually, its a lot like Manny's "quick" straight left which you saw a lot of in his Oscar fight, the difference is Cotto's is probably faster and strong than Manny's quick left, not his power left.

Anyway, Cotto has shown time and time again he can handle speed. Mosley, Judah, Malignaggi. His problem is being overpowered, which I don't think Manny can do. By no means am I saying that Manny will be a push over, I feel he can easily win just as much as Cotto, he'll just have to be constantly bouncing in and out. But the thing that makes Manny great is his warrior attitude and he wants to exchange with is opponent. If Manny gets lured into this, and I know he will, he always does and he can't help it, is where I see the fight taking a different toll. I think early, Manny gets the best of Cotto, however, once that body work that Cotto will put on Manny I feel will take its toll.

We're not sure of Manny's chin yet at this weight, and even if his chin is able to take the power, its the abundance of punches to the body that will hurt Manny. Its not going to be just the amount but all the power behind them, and constant at that, I just don't know if Manny's body can handle THAT much pressure and damage this high up after most of his career has been at lower weights. I'm calling Cotto by late late KO, maybe 11 or 12 with a body shot or very close SD.
