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

[Ravishing]

Cotto's gonna show he's a much more skilled fighter than people give him credit for. Pacquiao isn't a great skilled boxer more than a very fast sharpshooter who sometimes throws blindly. Cotto waits for the opportunity and he strikes, he never wastes punches.

During the fight, Pacquiao's going to feel some shots that will turn the fight in Cotto's favor. I think Pacquiao took a huge risk in fighting Cotto before Floyd, and I believe it will backfire. Cotto's gonna be too strong and he can fight at the pace Pacquiao sometimes like to fight in.

I see Freddie throwing in the towel in the 10th.

Nothing is factual about what you are saying, merely opinions. Crap opinions at that.

Cotto's size advantage over Pac is a crap opinion?
Pac lone fight at welterweight he weighed in 148.
Cotto fights at welterweight usually he weighed in at 160.

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.

Maybe if the same Cotto that took out MOsley, Judah, and Malinaggi shows up I'll give it to him. Cotto's lastest performances haven't been the most impressive, so unless he gets back to old form, I'm picking manny. Not saying it'll be an easy fight because as you stated, Cotto does have attributes that can really mess pacman up, but from what i saw in his last two fights I don't expect Cotto to get the win. That doesn't mean I think Manny will run through him though.

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.

what is your definition of boxing skills. mine is hit and not be hit. what the hell has he been doing in the last 3 fights? you are obviously a hater trying to compare pacs skills with hatton.

[Pullcounter]

some of y'all are ******. pac HAS TO box cotto. if he stands and trades w/ cotto he will get smashed.

Saying pac boxing skill is on par with hatton... maybe you should direct yourself to the rehab. That WAS true several years ago.

Pacquiao's in and out, unorthodox style together with his pure speed, power and relentless pace will tire Cotto by the 8th round. Then it's gonna get ugly for Miguel...

What about Cotto's relenteless pressure? Viscious Body punching? Stiff Jab? Straight Right hand?

Can Manny deal with that?

What old form?...lol..Cotto is the same boxer he has been

[bojangles1987]

TS going way too far in saying Pac's boxing skills are the same as Hatton's. They far surpass that. Manny uses unique angles, as shown in a few threads has learned better counter punching technique and ability to bait opponents to set up big punches. He will fight the same way he always does, darting in and out throwing combinations. I expect him to be a little more cautious, at least to start the fight, because of Cotto's strength, but Pacquiao is what he is. Unless he can't stand Cotto's power at all, I expect it to work on route to a decision.

[baracuda]

what the **** else is pac gonna do?.....ts is ******!
