Does anyone seriously think PAC will beable to even try "out box" cotto?

[RodBarker]

I agree that Manny's best bet is to try to box. My point was that Cotto is going to use movement and angles and throw Manny off, something Diaz, DLH and Hatton failed to do. I'd be genuinely impressed if Manny schools Cotto.

Yeah Id be surprised too if Manny schooled him , he could out box him for sure but schooling is nutthugger talk , not and easy fight for Manny and I,ll be impressed if he gets the win as Cotto is so much naturally bigger , even if Pac dont win you got to give him big respect for taking the fight .

Manny should be brawling Cotto toe to toe!!!!!

even though he has an advantage in footspeed & handspeed

what a waste of ****in talent

I'ma Cotto fan, but speed kills, and in this case I think Cotto is gonna be another victim to PAcman's crazy fast hands. Maybe if a top notch Cotto came in he could win, but not the one we all saw get a gift from Clottey. I remember before that fight i kept asking "what if Clottey puts the pressure on him?" and a whole bunch of people got mad and said **** like "you dunno ****! he's only a counter puncher, he stands no chance" and we all saw what happened there...

This is the same talk all over again...
just like when Cotto fought Mosley and Malignaggi and Judahhh
ohh I remember everyone saying speed will kill Cotto then what happened?????????

Excellent counter punching kills speed and not only that . Cottos jab will fk up Manny before he knows it.......... This is an easy fight for Cotto I think everyone is underestimating him. HE is used to fighting bigger tougher opponents with a punch. Pacquiao has some power but not enough to hurt Cotto.

Because you are. Even the dumbest ******* knows that manny doesnt have surperior "boxing skills". What he does have is a deadly set of brawling skills, brawling skills that he has acquried over a long career, Skills that have allow him to have a chance in a fight against someone of Cottos caliber. He just like Hatton or Gatti, pure brawler.

dumbest post ever, do you even know what brawler means???

Why most of Cotto fans mouth can't keep mentioning about Cotto is not the same level of Diaz, Oscar and Hatton? I agree to all of you but you completely forgot about the 3 great mexicans Pac fought who no where near the level whatever Cotto's got except his size advantage over Pac. Pac has been sparring welterweights for quite sometimes now and used to spar/fights bigger men every time he move up. Dude you are in a rude awakening if despite of his smaller size somehow Pac can take Cotto's best punches or most probably elusive enough to avoid most of it. My prediction....Pac ko Cotto after he fades in the later rounds between 9-11rd.

Older Sugar Shane in 2007 > worn Mab (II), worn Morales (II), (III). Pac, if anything, benefited from fighting the Mexican greats when they were ripe for the picking. Good wins, but they didn't pose the threat that Shane still poses today.

Whenever he has faced a near prime Mexican (Morales I, JMM I, II) he has not dominated at all, in fact it can be argued he doesn't deserve the W on his resume over Marquez.









You keep downplaying Cotto

[brently1979]

If you do I'd be more than happy to direct you to the nearest Rehab in your city.

PACs boxing skills are on par with Hattons,hes a brawler. Trying to "out box" Cotto would leading to him losing badly or being KO'd in my opinion.

I hope that was a joke. If his boxing skills are on par with Hatton, how the **** did he KO him in 2 rounds. Seriously. If he was on par with him, the fight would have been far more competitive and longer.

[TxHustla]

Pacquiao is not going OUTBOX anybody....ever..he doesnt have nor will he ever gain that skill.


Now i see people saying DID U SEE THE DLH fight...that was not boxing people..he just came in fast enough and threw shots from everywhere and backed away...it looks like great boxing..but he's not throwing with a high accuracy like better "boxers" do..he's just fast and can get off 3 or 4 shots pretty quick...its his speed that makes him look good..he's off balance alot..he comes in alot..when he gets caught in his speed traps he just moves away head and shoulders first all akward n ****..so people..pacman isnt a "boxer"..hes a fast slugger..
