Is Miguel Cotto the One to Beat Pacquiao?

[isiahmike]

First of all-I'm not a "PAC fan". My point was Bob Arum and co. are setting this up for Manny to look like something more amazing than he is (that is NOT an insult to Pac either).
As for your theory about "packing bigger punches,etc-remember,speed kills-Miguel will NOT know what hit him, he will not see the punches, and will not be quick enough to react. Keep an open mind,look at BOTH of their styles, flaws, assets, habits, etc without that biased fan mentality.How is Cotto gonna hit Manny when Cotto needs to plant his feet to throw decent punches? Ask yourself "is Miguel a better skilled counter puncher than Juan Manuel Marquez"? Does Cotto have a better right hand? NO WAY in hell.Also ask yourself realistically, what tools does someone with Cotto's style and limitations have against someone who is very fast with both his hands and his feet...if he was getting pounded by very mobile "in your face" sort of fighters,what chance does he really have?

cotto can hit manny with anticipation my man just like the saying goes timing beats speed which juan manuel marquez proved against pacman!!!please dont tell me cotto is not a good counter puncher because he very well is!!he might not be as well as marquez because that is marquez's style of fighting when cotto moves foward againts his opponents!!!That doesnt mean cotto doesnt adjust well and is clueless!!As for he will not be quick enough to react is straight crazy!!! Come on homie ive been in street fights with quicker dudes than me but ive got my hits in!!!Trust me when i tell u Cotto will get his shots in and will prove all ya wrong when he's victorious!!

And you really believe Cotto has good enough counter punching skills and timing to beat Manny? I don't think so. He didn't have good enough skills to evade or beat a pressure fighter who stands in front of him throwing slow punches.
Look,I would want Cotto to prove me wrong,so Bob Arum can STFU,but I don't see it happening.Perhaps you can explain some scenarios for me to look out for in this fight that I haven't already thought of....???

Are you actually READING my response or skimming through it?
Im NOT saying Manny is a pressure fighter-im saying if Cotto could not capitalize on someone standing directly in front of him,how will he fair against someone who moves all over the place? He is going to have problems adjusting.
Now,as far as you saying Cotto has been in with better or similar fighters-name them.This will be Cotto's toughest fight and ALL the pressure is on him to beat the smaller guy (I myself,don't confuse smaller with slower, weaker, or inferior however).Style-wise, I would guarantee that Manny has been against better.
