    Cotto was walking right true Mosley punches with no problems

    Mosley was landing bombs and I mean bombs against Cotto in the first fight and Cotto was walking right true them without any problems. Cotto was walking right true Zab Judah punches and destroyed Zab. Cotto was walking right true Margarito punches (possible loaded gloves?) and lasted 11 rounds in what was a very close fight and never got KD.

    Whast makes anyone think that Pacquiao's punches will have any effect on Cotto? Cotto doesn't mind getting hit to hit back and what happens when Pacquiao realizes his punches have 0 effect on Cotto?

    Cotto is going to give Pacquiao a major ass whooping Nov 14.

    Cotto timed Mosley very well in their fight, but Judah & Margarito hurt Cotto early on. Cotto's chin is better than given credit for, but Pacquiao's combination of speed, power, and persistence will hurt Cotto. Cotto has to really time Pacquiao like he did Mosley, but I have a feeling it will be a very difficult fight for both guys.

      I made a thread about this awhile ago. Only way PAC beats Cotto is if he can make Miguel respect his power. Through an accumulation too. PAC shouldn't look to hurt him with one shot or go toe to toe. Cotto will be around 155ish and will KO PAC if they start trading.

        Judah never hurt Cotto, Judah just stunned him in the first round. Margarito did bloody Cotto nose early but it had no effect until after the 6th round. I don't think Pacquiao combination of speed and power will hurt Cotto at all. Cotto been hit by guys who hit way harder in the past so Cotto will have no problems with Pacquiao's power. The speed is the only concern but Cotto got one of the best timings in boxing. He proved it against Mosley and timing will kill speed any day.

          The thing is, SSM is a harder puncher then Zab and Zab managed to hurt Cotto early on. What you have to remember is, Zab isn't a consistent fighter, Pacquiao is and while Pacquiao has slightly slower hands then Zab/ less power, he is stronger mentally, doesn't gass, is alot more consistent. Not only that, Pacquiao is quicker on his feet/ has better footwork then both. The difference here is, Pacquiao doesn't have a good enough uppercut to trouble Cotto, atleast from what I've seen. In my opinion, Cotto shouldn't load up in this bout, do like Aaron Pryor and just let them go.

          Cotto has a devastating left hook but that punch could also be his downfall, Cotto has to get set to throw it. I'm not trying to say fighters don't do that because ofcourse they do but, Cotto's left hook is based off getting set, planting his foot and my question is, don't you think Pacquiao would have already landed a combination/ or left straight or gotten out of the way by the time Cotto throws the left hook? Pacquiao is just so quick on his feet, I can see Pacquiao landing the left straight/ ducking down/ moving to Cotto's left and repeat. So in my opinion, Cotto should let them go, he can hurt Pacquiao regardless.

            No doubt about it. Pacquiao is going to have to use the ring because if he even thinks of setting his feet to trade punches his night will end badly. But Pacquiao will not be able to move away for 12 rounds, Cotto will catch him and destroy him.

              Pacquiao isn't gonna trade untill about the 7th round I'd say. From there on, I see Cotto's beating coming. I'm rooting for Cotto bt believe Pacquiao will win. Like most I'm sick of these Pacquiao fans, so I do hope Cotto can win but I don't see that happening.

                Judah never hurt Cotto. Cotto was just stunned, Cotto was hurt in that Margarito fight but never in the Judah fight.

                You also forgot to mention Cotto's jab (one of the best jabs in boxing). The jab will be one of the keys in the fight because Cotto is great at timing with his jab and Cotto is a great counter puncher. So if Pacquiao comes with one of those crazy punches he throws sometimes Cotto will counter the **** out him.

                  Cotto looked hurt, not badly, but Judah got to him- that's the point. Cotto looked to be hurt early on before the 6th round against Margarito, but I can't remember what round it was.

                  Pacquiao's power comes through speed, it's hard to absorb what you can't see, not to mention he has heavy hands.

                    Coming from a guy with pure confidence that the WBO belt will not be on the line.

                    Cotto will get his face smack like a piglet.
