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

[Kalion]

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.

Im not saying PAC is a crap fighter or something, Im saying Pacs be attrubuites are not his "Boxing Skills". He dosent have a perfect jab or great counter punching skills or slick defense. His bread and butter is his Power which he can bring at all angles, in and out orthordox style, speed and output.

I think this fight will go one of these two ways.......

Cotto will land some nice clean shots and pacman will reduce his normal punch output by about half..he definately wont be throwing wild punches and wont be lunging in and out like normal...this is where cotto can neutralizes him cotto....

the flipside is....

Pacman's speed willl give cotto serious problems and wear him down throughout the fight...if his speed is too much for cotto to counter or land clean shots he will beat cotto...

Honestly I think Cotto should take this fight without a whole lot of trouble but who knows...

like what he did on DLH right?

im not saying he'll do an Oscar-asswhooping but he will be using
the exact gameplan

Cotto is much powerful than any Pac has faced, & to fight toe to toe
with him is suicide so he has to use his "boxing skills"

[TintaBoricua]

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.

I could've sworn I heard Liam Neeson's voice.

Dont ever compare the DLH PAC fought to Cotto PAC is going to fight. And PAC was able to do what he did to DLH because DLH was severly weight drained,old and way to past his prime. Cotto most likely wont have any of those problems and has entire different set of skill than DLH. This fight is far much more of a challenge for PAC than it is Cotto.

LOL yeah. But dnt get me wrong,

Liam Neeson>>>>>PAC

Pac is gonna be Pac. In and Out fast combinations before Cotto knows what to do. It will work because Cotto isn't a world class counter-puncher like Marquez. Don't even try and dispute that, Cotto stans.

My friend you have to do a lot more studying to Cotto is a very good counter puncher!

To be honest when Cotto fought Judah, I didnt think he was going to be able to beat him, I thought Judah would take him out in like 5 rds, "too much speed and power". But I was proven wrong. Judah is one fast motha phuka, he was beating Mayweather to the punch for the 1st 5-6 rds of there fight, So I dont think Pac Mans speed is going to be an issue here. I think its a matter of Pac Man being able to deal with Cottos Jab, thats going to determine the fight. If Cotto is able to establish a Jab, Pac Man is not going to be able to put anything together offensively on him.

Agreed, Zab is faster than PAC and Mosley is stronger. Which is why I say this fight is more a challenged towards PAC than it is Cotto. I do believe PACs style though can give Cotto problems his timing and we all know Cotto makes up for his lack of speed with timing.

[Hanoncs]

Yes he will out box cotto, Or he will be koed. Can't wait for this match
