Cotto quietly shaping into fighting form under Pacquiao's shadow

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

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

I even thought of that, but how will his timing go if he's disturbed by the speed? Hatton for example, he was surely looking for a right timing, but it was the speed along with the magnicient skills that broke the timing..

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 because Cotto is a very smart fighter. Hatton got off his game plan and also left himself soooo open, cotto does not do that. Cotto respects Pacquiao's skills and he won't do anything ******. You never know. Heck, cotto could slip walking to ring and not make ring or pacquiao might be so nervous that he might not leave bathroom. We just don't know.

Manny tends to throw wildly, especially his lead left. What's made Cotto such a great fighter is his ability to adapt to his opponents' style. Pacquiao is not the 1st speed fighter Cotto's ever faced much less a southpaw. Pacquiao as well isn't a very elusive fighter in the sense where he never gets hit. Pacquiao's never faced the type of offense Cotto will provide and we have yet to see Pacquiao take a flush shot from a legit, prime WW.

When this fight was announced I tried to wonder how or why Pac would risk a big payday with Mayweather by fighting Cotto first. Some look at Cotto as a tune up, but I think that in itself is what's going to yank the d****s up from people's eyes. Pacquiao might've over stepped his boundaries on this one.

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.

you want to put all your points against mine?put your points were your thinking is,pm me and let me know

Fan of both bigger fan of cotto. To me this is a great war type fight. But cotto will win cotto has been win with speed and power at the same time ie mosley and judah and he was able to control the speed with his jab and his relentless pressure on these fighters "besides last three rounds of mosley" yes he was tired but he still fought. To me this will be like the judah fight pac will land some big shots on cotto and cotto will eat them and once cotto and pac knows he can take his punches it's going to be on. Cause cotto will be pressuring the fluck out of pac. One other thing that is not mentioned cotto has great ring generalship and could u imagine if he got pac in the corner as much as he did clottey it would be over. Sorry pac fans it's over for you boy nov. 14. Like pun said you aint even in my classa
