    If Zab can hurt Cotto, then...

    I love Cotto and would not be disappointed if he beat Pac, but I have to say Zab had his world seriously rocked with straight lefts. Pacquiao is along the same lines in terms of speed but has a much higher punch output and punches more consistently. I think Cotto MUST work on defense against the left to be successful against Pac. That is, of course, assuming that we are correct that Pac has carried his punching power well to the WW division. To me, that is still unknown as his only tests have been old Oscar and Hatton for 2 rounds.

        Zab is not a light puncher, Zab's left hand is wicked fast and packs alot of power.

            Let's also throw in there that Cotto landed two convenient low blows after to be seemingly dazed both times.

            I don't think that influenced the outcome, but probably did take some steam out of Zab. Especially the second one.

                Who ever stated that Zab lacked punching power?

                  Especially that hook-type uppercut that he throws. That punch is crazy. I don't know of a lot of more beautiful left uppercuts than the one Zab caught Cotto, Tszyu etc. with.

                    No way should Zab be compared to Pacquiao. No way ! unless you can name any Top Guy Zab beat. in the last decade.
