Beristain: Pacquiao Beats Cotto

[ThePunchingBag]

I agree...I'm just saying that the people who are taking what Beristain is saying as significant should form their own opinion based on what they've seen.

Co-Sign I can agree with that. Beristain as a world renown trainer has perhaps a little more insight than most people, but an opinion is still an opinion

lets put this into perspective people.

If Pac had just come off his win against Diaz and decided to fight Cotto at 145 who is the underdog? The only reason Cotto is the underdog is because Pac gave it to DLH and KO'd Ricky Fatton and people are still su****ious that Cotto left his best in the ring with Margarito.
Be realistic, I dont think anyone can argue that DLH wasnt past it but still a good fighter when he was vanquished by Manny. But DLH ***ed himself by cutting so much weight and came in dead. ****** move Oscar, size could have been your advantage. Hatton IMO was shop worn and mind ***ed by FMS. He chose the wrong guy to fight at the wrong time and he fought a poor fight (his fault bad choices). He pretty much handed PAc the keys to the KO victory from round 1.

There are two things we need to find out: Can Cotto can handle Pacs speed and can Pac handle Cotto's power. There are other little side plots like has Pac suddenly become this one punch KO artist, is Cotto technically superior to Pac. But all that is secondary to the speed and power.

If PAc dusts up Cotto I will be be very impressed very impressed. If Cotto beats Pac down I will be impressed but it will be tempered with the fact that Pac is a natural 135 maybe.....140. If any of this was something you already hadnt realized you know **** about boxing. Get your ass off of boxing scene and go watch some real boxing, hours of it.

I think the reason people are betting on Pac these days is because he seemingly improves every fight in order to rise up to the new challenge. The question this time is, can Pac improve enough to topple the mountain that is Miguel Cotto? We'll see on November 14.
