Cotto Will Be Pacquiao's Toughest Opponent, Says Arum

[RL_GMA]

When 2 top fighters meet more often than not either the better boxer wins or it goes the distance. Everybody always talks about a one fighter in trouble because of their opponents power.. "how can he take Cotto's power?".. hes going to take Cottos power the same way Mosely did. As long as he doesnt trade he should win a decision or a TKO on cuts. Cotto is the one who has the bigger disadvantage and thats in the speed department.. speed kills.

I don't think the speed is going to be the main factor because Cotto has been in with bigger speed fighters who hit harder at that weight. He beat them with timing and offset their rhythm. Pacquiao's fast, but he's not so fast to where he can't be hit. People ignore the fact that when Pac faces either a good counter puncher or someone who brings the offense, Manny is very susceptible to getting hit because he likes to exchange, that's his bread and butter.

People won't admit it, but almost everyone is basing a Pac win over Cotto on Pac's last 2 fights and Cotto's fight with Clottey. If you were to even ask after the Oscar fight how Pac would fare against Cotto about everyone here would say "You're crazy". Styles make fights, but apparently that logic is getting thrown out the window in this fight.

cotto will ko manny in less than 3 rounds,i just laugh when i see people giving him a shot against a naturally bigger guy with power...who the fu** has manny beaten above lightweight that makes him look invincible,strong??...look at his last three opponents....hatton is a loser,i always thought he ******,he never fought anybody in their prime that was good,he will be sent back down to the lower weights,and his fans will cry "oh he made the mistake of going to high in weight"..yeah,but now they say he will win,..this is floyd/marquez all over again,big guy beats little guy,,same thing

You're an idiot, and if you feel so confident why don't you put some money where your mouth is ?


The fact of the matter is that no one is going to 'cry' if he happens to lose, about him moving up in weight.

I admire the fact that there are still fighters willing to move up and test their skills. He's already at a huge size and strength disadvantage so its still a win-win situation for him. If he loses, he lost to arguably the best welterweight in the world. No shame in that. If he wins, its a testament to his abilities.

But you're a moron so I don't expect you to understand.

david diaz could possibly last more than miguel cotto.

nahh i think thats a bit absurb!!!!

[paylapz83]

you cant' compare manny's skills to mosley,honestly i don't even see manny with skills at all or only very little,he's a brawler,what skills? thats why marquez schooled him,the reason he didn't get knocked out is because marquez really isn't a puncher and he held back,he couldn't even ko an old barrera,heck he didn't even ko marquez,,,he ko's the hattons and diaz',diaz,one of the worst champs ever,and he still went 9 rounds,how pathetic is that?...bottom line is manny will get ko'd,badly,just watch,and by the way,i won't give cotto much credit for beating a little guy,i gave him more credit for the clottey fight,although i thought clottey lost it himself,gave it away,but he gets more credit for that one,this for me is a money fight,no more

maybe ur right dude,,,marquez schooled pac and demonstrate how to kiss the canvas right?and then hatton is the worst champ ever who stopped castillo in just 4 rounds,the one who give so much trouble on floyd with two fights...
