Why I Believe Pacquiao Will Beat Cotto.

[Animalistic 5.0]

Thing is uintana is not dirable, and if you hurt him he folds very quicky. Quintana is no Pacquiao.

What makes you think Pacquiao will be able to take Cotto's punches? He ain't no WW.

You make several points. Pacquiao can be caught with a jab. Cotto doesn't need to lead with right to win. Cotto's jab is hard and quick. He can follow it with an explosive right hand, as in the Mosley fight. Also, I don't Pacquiao can back Cotto up. Jumping in and out doesn't back people up. Backing Cotto up is a key to beating him. Pac's hand speed will bother Cotto and he will need a few rounds to time it. When Pac hits Cotto and he doesn't wobble or seem hurt, I think it might suprise Pac. Cotto working body hard early is also important, perhaps slow Pac down a little later in the fight. Cotto's jab, strength, body work, and boxing skills should win this fight, but it's not a sure thing. Pacquiao has been counted out before and suprised the world. I think Cotto stops him late, TKO round 11.

Not necessarily and Pacquiao will be doing that in the 7th or 8th round.

Cotto is a hard puncher, ofcourse very few can take Cotto's punches but Cotto is an accumilative puncher. I don't see him landing all that many shots. Again, I'm not over looking Cotto.

I agree with you 100 percent. The only reason JMM was so successful is that he doesn't have to set to throw, Cotto does.

Because of this Pacquiao is gonna be a storm on Cotto he's not gonna know what hit him... I also believe Roach will outwitt Santiago in everyway in his Gameplan... Though I still hoping for a Cotto win but dont truly believe he will win

Well, Pacquiao better win this, because if he doesn't there goes his political run up and mega fight with Money Mayweather.

[Doctor_Tenma]

And how do you know that? Cotto left hook is better than Mayweather's and you say Cotto right hand is not good? What Cotto fights you been watching? Watch him land the right hands on Quintana, Judah, Mosley and Margarito. You also forgot to mention that Pacquiao is a southpaw so he perfect for Cotto's left hook to the body and if Pacquiao plans to move in and out like you say he will get counter punch because when he does that he opens up out of control and is easy to hit.

Cotto will destroy Pacquiao!

Cotto's left hook is more devastating, it isn't better.

Not necessarily and Pacquiao will be doing that in the 7th or 8th round.

The one man who has ever beaten Cotto had him backing up all night and Cotto does not sit on his punches backing up, taking some of the pop out. I think the longer camp will help Cotto's stamina. Cotto coming forward at him, outweighing him by about 10 pounds will not be easy for Pac to deal with. Cotto does not lunge in like Hatton does. He stalks slowly and patiently, waiting for openings that Pac will give him. Pac seems to be more comfortable leading the action than countering.

Cotto is an accumilate puncher against big WW's that can take his shots better. Again what is going to happen with Cotto hits Pacquiao with that power? This is not going to be a featherweight punching Pacquiao is going to be a true WW that can punch way way way way way way way way way way harder than anyone Pacquiao has ever faced. Cotto has faced speed guys in the past, Pacquiao has never faced a WW like Cotto.

Yes it is.
