Thanks for your words.

I agree with you on our post and even redlined a key word adjust.
This will be a fight on which both fighters will have to adjust during the fight and probably more than once. Pacquiao is a good student and has a great trainer and even though Cotto doesn't have that advantage he has adjusted in the past to all sorts of oponents and stlyes but will be he able to do so just because of his extense amatuer background and endless battles is yet to be seen. Huge advantage to Pacquiao on the corners issue.

I agree with you 100%, Miguel has ADJUST very well to almost all the types of fighters that he has face so far.

Thats a tough one. But not a flyweight

[K U Y I P]

In order to connect the combos he must be at Cotto's Jab reach and that will neutralize his combinations because it will be throwing Pacman out of rythm.

If they do manage to have a stategy to take away his jab then Cotto will be in trouble we will only know after the fight.

but before cotto can unload his jab, pac could already be on cotto's side throwing the combos.lol...
i believe that aside from pac's advantage in hand speed he also has the better footwork than cotto. pac had been criticized before for getting hit casually so he can hit back at his opponent. but lately, due to his improve footwork he can no longer be hit easily.

Please, please dont bring loaded gloves issue on a Cotto's converstaion.
That is a sore subject and brings bad memories. LOL

I'm just saying... it evens out the playing field tho during sparring, it'd be like Manny is in there

Exactly man! I don't think they have many options out there. Manny has a fast, elusive and aggressive style that is hard to simulate. I think they need to pick a few sparring partners to simulate Manny completely. To me Judah would be the best pick, but after taking a few nut punches from Cotto I don't think he would be too happy to take on that task.

WOW, that's like in a blink of an eye! Reminds me of Kung Fu, dude catching arrows and stuff!

Judahs head is so big he wont want to be a sparring partner. He still thinks hes the best in the world lol. But he would be a good pick though.

Gato Figueroa, El Pollo, just to mention two... I'm sure they can find bigger ppl. TR has always been good providing sparring partners to him.
