ive been defending him since they starting talks of the fight. no one looks good against clottey a very strong welterweight. and cotto pulled off a close decision with a nasty cut most of the fight. nonbelievers will be so surprise on fight day. pac gonns try and outbox everyone knows pac has to be coming forward thatrs where hes comfortable.
Anyone else feeling GUILTY of overlooking Cotto?

Right, I'm not expecting him to lead with the hook. He usually sets up the hook with a right like I was saying since after you throw the right your body is in position to throw the left and you can quickly get it off. When he dropped Corley with a bodyshot he threw the right upstairs to set up the hook downstairs.
One thing that does worry me about Cotto is that he does seem fairly open for a straight left.Last edited by Doctor_Tenma; 09-10-2009, 06:50 PM.Comment

Yeah, he is open for those. Atleast Cotto's head is down, which isn't good for uppercuts, but it does help him absorb straights, in that he'll get hit on the forehead. Cotto doesn't have to worry about using his fighting stance, in that Pacquiao doesn't throw that many uppercuts.
pac can also throw the left upper at a weird angle and catch cotto.Comment

People are not overlooking Cotto that much they are just Overrrating Pacquiao's Boxing skills.
They think he is ****ing WIlly Pep and wont get hit!!!
Wrong thing to think because Cotto is one of the most accurate SOBs on the sport, with Great timming.
And just dont see, this Pacquiao Will throw Combos at Cotto and and will move as pleased.
Pacquiao is very fast no doubt and have decent pop, but he cant fight backwards, he always gets off balance when finishing throwing and gets hit plenty.
Pacquaio Might win the fight, but to say Cotto have to KO him early is bull ****!!!
People Dont understand that Cotto have face 3 tough bearded SOB's and bigger than him all 3. Plus they are stamina crazy and lost to 1 only.
Cotto has never gass when facing People his size or smaller.
Thats why I dont see, this he will gass late. Much less Pacquiao strategy will be stick and move, so that will tire Pacquiao more than Cotto.
How Pacquiao will even try to apply any type of pressure? When Cotto himself will be walking forward?
Pacquaio's only advanteges here are speed and trainer.
Cottos jab, body punching are better than his.
Strength and power also to Cotto.
Timming Cotto
Pure boxing skills Cotto.
Ect,ect,ect tehres lots of thing people overlook, either for hating or nuthuggery.
Anyways that only advantage Pacquiao have maybe enough to beat Cotto, ut I dont think it will.
Cotto will wal him down behind a tight guard pumping his jab, and trapping him on the ropes. people will be surprise at how good Cotto does in the middle of the ring.Comment

Lets see what happens. I first think you'd have to be used to doing something before you do it. Pacquiao used to have a garbage for a right hand, looked alot better against Morales but still garbage, has improved it alot ever since. He isn't known to throw uppercuts, rarely throws them, lets see what he does.Comment

Why are people using the Clottey fight to judge Cotto negatively??Pacman right now won't beat Clottey,if Mosley wins,it won't be dominant,Clottey is a hard 12 rounds for any fighter,elite or otherwise!!Cotto has the tools,or goods,that can beat Pacman,the man is elite & outside of Mosley,Cotto is the best welterweight since the DLH,Mosley,Trinidad & Ike era,for real!!!Of course not mentioning the Punisher,because thats not fair,no one else wants it so I won't ride Cotto for that either!!Comment
