Why I Believe Pacquiao Will Beat Cotto.

[tito yuca]

I've watched that many times, back when I was a fan of Cotto. Difference is, Quintana doesn't throw the left straight as much as Pacquiao does. By the way, Cotto vs Quintana wasn't as one-sided as people make it seem, Quintana was in that fight. Still, it was the perfect left hook to the body. Even though Quintana (To me) is a natural Jr MW, I don't think he has Pacquiao's power.

hahaha so youre another ex-cotto fan

what made you stop liking him?

Already got a total of 500K on Pacquiao. I'll think about that.

I'm not like other people who are ready to discredit the win due to size, it's a great win if either man can pull it off.

Pac wins if it goes past 7. I think he gets KO'd by then tho.

I'm glad we can agree on that Mangler. S a m u r a i and Street Bully also agreed with that.

The uppercuts to the scrotum?

Ok, Ok, everybody knows by know you hate Cotto...old newz, and a cheap shot.

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

This will be Pacs real test. I wish both guys luck. they are true warriors.

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.

Smart obvservation. I may not completly agree with some of your posts, but your a good sensible poster that's unbiased as you can be. Respect to you.

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

But if his hook is more devistating, how is it not better? It's quick and comes when least expected.

Already got a total of 500K on Pacquiao. I'll think about that.

I'm building up my points...maybe we can arrange a bet soon, if you want. You got lots of points.

Cotto isn't equipped well enough. He doesn't have a Mayweather/ JMM-like straight right hand. Neither does he have the stamina. In fact, Cotto's most devastating punch "The Left Hook" will be his downfall.

There is a major difference in how Mayweather and Cotto throw their left hook. Cotto has to get set, be flat and during that time, Pacquiao would have either landed a combination or gotten out of the way. Where as Mayweather would let them go (From any angle), as he did against Corrales, Hatton, DLH, Zab and so on. Cotto doesn't throw them like that and because he doesn't, Pacquiao will make him pay. I can see Pacquiao landing the straight left hand (Right glove up), ducking under Cotto's left hook, moving to Cotto's left and repeat.

Watch how Mayweather drops Corrales with the left hook, 1:06, 1:35, 2:50. Does Cotto throw them like that? NO! I see Pacquiao neutralizing Cotto's left hook. Anyway, watch how Mayweather throws the left hook.



You should already see the difference.



My confidence in Pacquiao winning doesn't stop there, I'm 100% sure that if Pacquiao sees past the 7th round, Cotto's gonna be a bloody mess. Cotto's stance will be helpful, in that Pacquiao doesn't throw that many uppercuts and while Cotto does have a bad habit of looking down, Pacquiao will be landing straights to the forehead, where Cotto would be able to absorb shots. First time Cotto's stance will be useful. Still it won't be enough for Cotto to get the win; he isn't equipped with the right kind of left hook, or a straight right hand. I don't think his straight right hand is good enough, really don't.

Then you have to factor in the fact that Cotto can cut up easily. Cotto was cut on top of the left eye against Clottey, Clottey was then very sucessful in landing the straight right hand. I'm telling you, Cotto can not afford to get cut like that against Pacquiao. If you thought Clottey had a field day with that cut, imagine Pacquiao and chances are those old cuts may reopen.

I'm still not gonna over look Cotto, his chances are slim but I do acknowledge that Cotto may land something big at one point and that could change everything. Also Cotto may get a little dirty but I'm still gonna go with Pacquiao, Pacquiao by 10th round stoppage .

Good post! I think that Pac will implement the uppercut alot more this fight. He was raping Diaz with it and I think Roach will have him back to it.
