Cotto quietly shaping into fighting form under Pacquiao's shadow

[zhandy11]

Quietly, one of boxing's best and Puerto Rico's number one pugilist Miguel Cotto has been sharpening his knives under the shadow of the same little giant he aims to slay on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. That little giant has been wrecking havoc in the world of boxing, conquering different weight classes and demolishing beloved heroes along the way.


Cotto started training for his next fight at least a month earlier than his foe. He started doing strength and conditioning and doing some mitt work and hitting the bags to prepare his body for a rigorous camp that is divided into to stages. The first stage is behind him wherein he focused on this body conditioning while in Puerto Rico. Now Cotto has headed to Tampa, Florida to focus on strategy and their game plan on how to defeat his opponent. (In case you just crawled from under a rock, Cotto's opponent is Manny Pacquiao.)

Hatton did the same thing before but to no avail..

I'm afraid cotto's fate will be the same as hatton's..

i don't want to disrespect you but if you are comparing cotto with hatton you're kind of idiot....no offense

cotto is way ahead of hatton. in fact, cotto would KTFO hatton in 1

There's no way you can compare Hatton to Cotto. If you think they are even close you're a Pac nutthugger or just don't know **** about boxing.

I would also like to tell you that likewise., but, what i am trying to say is, pacman will surely win and allow cotto to taste his punches.

what he meant is that he might be overtrained

Not that exactly,/ No matter he over train of not, he will surely lose the fight.
Trust me.. Speed will be his key in their fight..

[-Lowkey-]

i love how cotto is a huge underdog for this fight to me it just shows how naive alot of boxing fans are. sure pac looked amazing against diaz odh and hatton but Cotto is a hole different beast i cant wait for this fight!

Timing, my friend, will be the key in this fight.

agreed. cotto is, at least, 10x better than those fighters. and i'm a fan of pac but i keep it real. everyone's on pac's boat because of those fights but cotto is on another league.

Diaz: a fight against casamayor was much better than diaz.
DLH: nothing left in the tank. not pac's fault
Hatton: let's see....the guy that collazo beat and almost KO. yeap the
feather fist collazo

pac won't be able to handle cotto's timing, power and accurate punches
