Why I Believe Pacquiao Will Beat Cotto.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Wait, how did Mayweather get involved in this thread?

According to TS, Cotto needs to be Mayweather to beat Pacquiao. LOl!!!!!!!

That's an example of the kind of left hook Cotto will need.

Sorry my brother from Quisqueya, but I have to disagree with you. Cotto brigns adjustment skills to his fights that still amaze even the most seasoned boxing experts and analysts. He can adjust to his opponent's style, and remember he's done much better with southpaws and any other type of fighter in his career. Many does have speed, but it's undisciplined and awkward, in the sense that he will constantly forsake balance for the chance to get an unorthodox shot in, and with a fighter like Cotto, that may prove to be lethal, because all in all, I believe that Cotto is a much more disciplined boxer than Manny, and will eventually frustrate Manny's timing, which in turn will cause him to resort to the type of fight he fought with both eric morales and Jmm. speed without discipline and power without the proper balance can become useless against an opponent who has enough ring smarts, to capitalize on those mistakes. I see Cotto taking this one, no doubt, although he will have to be at 110 percent in his game, because I take nothing away from manny's vicious speed and power, and above all, he seem to have a never ending supply of stamina in his small frame. We solid bro? Viva Quisqueya!!!

1.Cotto has never gass fighting smaller fighters or his size, let alone when he is in full mode attack going forward.

2. His defense is way better when he is pressing the fight, because 1, his opponents throw less and 2 he have better balance.

Manny is a perfect fit for Cottos style. Manny will be jumping in and out, and when Cotto times his movement, he will start landing his jab a lot. And his straight right hand because Cottos straight right hand, is really good. And everything Cotto lands on Pacquiao,it will hurt him alot. And Pacquiao is not a guy that can box a guy for more than 30 seconds in a round. He aint a boxer, he is a swarmer, who relies on speed and strength to beat his opponents. And Cottto can neutralize both.

Cotto can counterpunch and hurt him easy, Paqcuiao is not a elusive fighter.

This fight will end up in the 8 or earlier in Cottos favor!!!!

Although I do agree with your assessment of the winner I don't see it exactly the way you do.

1. I don't see Cotto gassing to badly either because he is the bigger guy and can control the pace a bit with his jab.

2. I'm going to have to disagree with this point . His defense is definitely worse when he is going forward. He has very good defense going backward, he showed it with the Margarito and that one dude he got beat by in the ammies. He's a good counter puncher.

The times that he has really gotten hurt from shots, not from gassing out, was against smaller fighters when he was pressing the action eg Corley and Torres. So theoretically this is what Pac should be really excited about. Torres and Corely both caught him and hurt him when he was coming in.

The only problem with that is the fact that Pac is at his worst when he's going backwards. Don't let the Hatton fight fool you. Pacman was obviously uncomfortable during the short time the fight took place. He is at his best controlling the distance with pressure and attacking at times that he sees fit.

I just see Cotto being to big and powerful and forcing Pac to fight his fight b/c of it. Size does matter.

You sounded very articulate and nice, like a highschool eassy. But in reality you didnt say ****.

You just based your post on assumptions and a false opinion underrating Cotto.

Lte me help you out.

1.Cotto has never gass fighting smaller fighters or his size, let alone when he is in full mode attack going forward.

2. His defense is way better when he is pressing the fight, because 1, his opponents throw less and 2 he have better balance.

3.Cotto doesnt get cut easily, unless you headbutts him. Pacquiao gets cut pretty fast too.

4.Something you guys never seem to look at either is look how Cotto shapes his body according to who he is fighting and what type of fight he will bring. He was heavy, for Quintana, Judah and Clottey, beause in those fights, he wanted to press the action and just go forward. In the Mosley fight he came in at a medium weight, because he wanted to mix pressing and boxing. And in the Margarito fight he came in very light because he wanted to be quick with his hands and feet and wanted to move a lot.

Cottos jab will be the best weapon for both fighters. Cotto times people as good as anyone in the sport and his hand speed is very good. Manny always lowers his right hand to his waist, and when I say always I mean always, every time he wants to throw a left hand. He ****s the left and and shows it to his opponent. A good counterpuncher can capitalize on that. Manny always moves to the same side, he moves to his opponents Right(if his opponent is a lefty) or to the left(if his opponent is a righty). he will be walking into Cottos left hook. Mannys foot work even though he is fast on his fast, is average at best. He is always of balance and leaning and reach to far to land shots. Manny never throws when he is moving backwards. He throws wild punches most of the time when he is being pressure and when he gets hit.

The thing is manny do a lot of things wrong that his size advantage over his opponents at lower weight clases, permits him to overome those mistakes. He wont have that luxury against Cotto.

Manny is a perfect fit for Cottos style. Manny will be jumping in and out, and when Cotto times his movement, he will start landing his jab a lot. And his straight right hand because Cottos straight right hand, is really good. And everything Cotto lands on Pacquiao,it will hurt him alot. And Pacquiao is not a guy that can box a guy for more than 30 seconds in a round. He aint a boxer, he is a swarmer, who relies on speed and strength to beat his opponents. And Cottto can neutralize both.

And if Manny decides to stop moving and start trading with Cotto, well it doesnt take a brain surgeon to know what will happen.


Well the thing is, Manny and Roach and all the people saying Manny will steamroll Cotto are just hoping for Cotto to be drain or shot. Because if Cotto is half as good as he was vs Mosley he will destroy Pacquiao.

Pacquiao doesnt have anything Cotto has not seen before, in the other hand Pacquiao has never face a guy that he couldnt impose his size or speed and he maybe do one but not both, and Cotto can neutralize speed wich is the one thing Paqcuiao can impose. And Pacquiao needs to impose both things to win.

Cotto can counterpunch and hurt him easy, Paqcuiao is not a elusive fighter.

This fight will end up in the 8 or earlier in Cottos favor!!!!

Ch@mp,

Nothing you said that I didn't know. We're just at a disagreement here.

Great post man, may the best man win. I understand what Cotto and Pacquiao are capable of, I see the fight playing differently though.
