    So who has greater mental strength? Many of us talk all the time about Cotto's size and physical strength, but strength is not only physical. On sheer will power alone, human beings can do some pretty incredible things.

    Does anyone else feel like this is something that is completely overlooked?

    And does anyone else agree that at least 50% of boxing is mental?


    I often consider the things that are not visible or obvious when analyzing match-ups and predicting fights. To me, they are just as (if not more) important than the things you do see, like the size of the fighter.

    I actually think size is one of the least important things.

      defense: both suck, but pac is faster, so i'll give pac this by a hair
      power: cotto, you're a dumbass for thinking the opposite
      physical strength: cotto you GUESS? you're not only a dumbass, but a biased one too
      current form: pac, although it wouldn't be like this if pac fought cotto's last 3 opponents
      experience: pac overall, but guess what? this is at 147, so it's pretty darn ****** to put ODLH over quintana, mosley, judah, margarito, and clottey
      chin: cotto's chin is certified at 147, but pac has a better one overall

        I think cuz Cotto actually boxes and won't stand and trade with him.

            I'm not completely sure where Manny's power really is. I remember reading that Oscar said that Manny never actually hurt him, he simply couldn't hit him back. Then again we have the result with Hatton where he absolutely pulverized him.

            Found the link where Oscar was saying this: http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=18564

            Course a few articles up from that Oscar said Floyd would duck Marquez lol.

              I think the way a lot of us see it is this: Pac just looks better and better each fight he steps into, while Cotto is just doesn't look like the confident, overpowering fighter he has been. Im not trying to take anything away from Cotto, he beat my favorite fighter (Sergio Martinez) but he just doesn't look the same.

                Personally i hope Timing will win this fight for cotto!!! If he can land some of the sort of punchers that he landed on Shane he could end the fight early!!!

                Weather or not he still has that type of fight left in him is the key to Pac winning the fight!!! Plus if pac crunches cotto like zab did it will be ova, pac wont let him back in the fight!!!

                Pac has been hand picking his fights of late and has had great success lets see if he is right again!!!

                    Cotto is still the beast he was prior to that first lost ...... he just needs the right motivation to get back into form. Hopefully this upcoming fight is what Cotto needs to get his frame of mind back ontrack.

                    If Cotto is on-point, He will literally destroy Pac-man - To the point that his corner will be rushing into the ring to stop the fight. If Cotto still hasn't recovered from his lost at the hands of AM ..... Pac will get the win and Floyd will be the one to finish Pac Off.
                    You couldn't have said it better.

                      Dude, stop with this nonsense.

                      Since Pacuiao KTFO Hattton, ou thin Pacquiao can KO the world now, because he eat, Hatton. And Hatton was not that good anyways!!!!!

                      How you dare to say that Pacquiao have more power than Cotto and a better defense?

                      Biasness at his best!!!!!!!
