Pacquiao Training Camp Shifts To Manila after Internal Rift

[Gabilan]

I don't think Cotto is as fast as Hatton. He's obviously better all-round, but faster? Where? How?

Where? In the ring. How? He's faster on his feet, and can thus close off the ring much better, even though its deceptive speed. His jab is also much faster and he is faster in his counterboxing. I mean, this is all within the context of a boxing match. Hatton is hyperactive, but that's something completely different than actual boxing speed. But you'll see come November. While Hatton was flailing when he attempted to counterpunch Hatton, Cotto will time him and hit him with greater speed than he has seen since he was in the lower weight classes. DLH was slow and so was Hatton, I don't mean to denigrate Manny wins over them at all but they were plodding fighters and though some think Cotto is plodding, he really is not.

Cotto's definetely stronger and better....only when fighting slow boxers. Mosley is only quick with his hands that is why he lost to Cotto, Pac is totally different. His entire body is so quick and his reflex is out of this world and Pac knows Cotto's a KO artist, so he will never stand in front of Cotto to get hit. Watch him spin around Cotto and unleash his 5-6 punch combo to Cotto once he turns around to face Pac...all night till Bayless stops the fight...Hell, Hatton is a lot quicker than Cotto and he lost his rythm during the fight. Law of physics states that moving target takes away your aim and power.

Pacman in 11 or 12 by tko due to busted face. One if his main problem is that he is heavier than Pac meaning he will tire out first during the later rounds.

I dont agree with the bolded statement but everything else is proper. I believe Pacman thinks Cotto is just bigger and stronger than he is. The only way I see the fight happening is the match between Pacquiao and Diaz. I know I could be wrong because of how Cotto will be preparing will be a lot different and that he has studied most of Pac's recent fight tapes.

this garbage makes no difference.pacs little quick punches are going to bounce right off cotto.there's no way that pac hits harder than clottey and margacheato with or without plaster.cotto took their punches and will take pacs.plus cotto has a jab.he can't hurt miguel period. cotto wins in 7.

How many times you will label Pac as small guy and can't hurt the bigger one before you believe that Pac's power can go mixing with the WW? Cotto is used to fights with legit WW fighters but this doesn't mean he couldn't be hurt by small guy like Pac who came from as small as Flyweight. True, Pac is expanded into 144lbs but that expansion is a mass full of muscles, considering they are just differentiated with half inch in height?! You might true that Cotto might take Pac's ordinary punches, but I dont believe if Cotto would not go after taking solid left shot by Pac right to his temple!

I love how so many people are already coming up with excuses for Pacquiao. This same people forget how many advantages Pac has over Cotto, from ring size, to the referee, weight, you name it. Pacquiaos camp are not ******, it's been well documented how the contract was designed to give Pac as many advantages as possible, yet these people choose to ignore this to come up with baseless conclusions. If Cotto manages to win with so many unfavorable conditions he deserves credit. Cotto KO 9.

how can u say manny has the advanage in ring size, referee and weight????


of course coto deserves full credit IF he beats manny, the p4p king and 6 divs world champion.

but then, it is "typhoon season" you know!!
the "pacific storm" will lash cotto to pieces......

Ridiculous comments. Cotto is not a KO artist; He breaks boxers down. Hatton quicker than Cotto? What world do you live in? You better come stronger if you want to get some respect around here. Its not looking very good after your first posts.

ridiculous because it doesn't conform with what u think??!
of course ricky is faster than how miguel fyts.

Where? In the ring. How? He's faster on his feet, and can thus close off the ring much better, even though its deceptive speed. His jab is also much faster and he is faster in his counterboxing.
