    I cant see the cotto resemblense. He does indeed look a little like mosley without the upright stance. He seems to have great fast feet and great reflexes and head movement. After reading about his amature experience i will be keeping a very very close eye on this guy. he looks like a very very good talent.

          Middleweight

          Pac has already sparred with him for 3 rounds. So far so good. But he needs middleweight sparring partners with one-shot KO power to really push Manny to the breaking point. That'll really prepare him for Cotto.

            I knew i heard this guys name before. I remember watching this fight a while back.

            The jab is the number 1 thing i saw. His jab is NOTHING like Cotto's. He is much more wild, and moves in a little wrecklessly. You are watching a young prospect vs an old journyman. ****** to compare this guy to Cotto.

            Do yourself a favor. Watch some of Cotto's fights and then make a guess on what Cotto's style is like. Because Porter is not it.

              hmmmm....I didnt see much that looked liked Cotto, style wise.

              they look alike body-type wise, but...thats it. fights more like Mosley to me.

              good sparring partner, all the same.

                Pac should have got "Canelo" Alvarez, he fights very similar to Cotto

                  Both guys fight nothign like Miguel Cotto. Omar Henry is pretty much a baby Cotto

                    His jab is weak and he is kinda slow. He seems to have power and is about the right build. Cotto does try to be slick and I guess some of the body movement was similar, but not really. Then again who else can mimick Cotto?
