Cotto Uses Underdog Status For Motivation To Beat Manny

[alexpz]

I'm still have my doubts about Manny . Barrera , Morales and Oscar was past of there prime . David Diaz ? Who's that ? He is nobody. Hatton ? I though Hatton fight suppose to be interesting . I though Hatton wrestling style will give problems to Pacquiao but Hatton got caught early . Pacman got some skills , don't missunderstand me but I think the people believe his unbeatable cause his last couple of fight . He's last 2 fight with a prime boxer was JMM and what happen ? A draw and split decision. I believe Manny is takong Cotto lightly and he will pay for that in Nov 14 .

Taking him lightly? I really doubt about that. Manny is aiming for the 7th title so I just don't think that he is taking Miguel lightly.

He's always been the favorite in everyone of his fights. This should motivate cotto that people think he is going to lose.

ryt, cotto is always the favorite in all his fyts.
i wonder what's going inside his mind now that he is the underdog.
this is more of a psychological disadvantage for cotto.
must be difficult for him, most are writing him off !!
..... he myt lose focus and easily gets disoriented during the fyt.

It will do him good, Manny will be a tough fight. This is boxing though...anything can happen!

In the fight with Antonio Margarito I had him as an underdog
after he fought Alfonso Gomez and Margarito fought Kermit
Cintron. When I saw Margartio put down Cintron I said to
myself that Cotto's style would get trumped by Margarito
because both have similiar aggressive approaches but Margarito
was just more imposing. In this fight with Pacquiao I have him
as a favorite because I've seen Cotto tested and hit with everything
and I can't say the same about Pacquiao. I just don't see Pacquiao
enforcing his will on Cotto without Cotto fighting back like
Diaz and De La Hoya. Also Cotto has a better chin and is technically
better than Ricky Hatton. For some reason I have a feeling that
Manny won't be able to hold up against punishment by the bigger
Cotto because Manny hasn't experienced it yet in the ring at the
higher weight classes. Marquez was Pac's last hardest challenge
and Manny squeaked by him twice. Sure Pac got better but how
do we really know if his last opponents didn't put up much of a fight.
November 14th will tell all.

agree with your observations and comments.
but...i need not post my defense of manny!
truth will be known nov 14th !!

ryt brah!!
manny has never taken anybody lightly.
manny's every fyt is more difficult than the previous one....
...bigger, better, stronger, heavier, the toughest...until he demolished each one!
then all his fyts were mismatches......on hindsight.

i wonder what cotto will do if he can't hit manny.
he will be very frustrated to be punching air most of the time.
he needs to hold and push manny to keep him still for a moment.
i can see miguel tired about the 7th rd.

Cotto won't be able to hit him? Why do some of you make Pac sound like he has movement like Pernell Whitaker?

I like all the action Pac brings to the ring, from speed to power but his defense is garbage. Cotto knows he will be landing on pac, that's why when this fight was signed he said he only has to worry about Pac's speed. Cotto has never claimed to be concerned about Pac's defense because he knows Pac likes to fight and take punches as he delivers beat downs.

If ever Manny will KO Cotto in the earlier rounds, I can already hear people saying that Cotto is a shot after margarito's fight..

"most of the time"... that's what i said.
calm down and read again brah, before your bp shoots up!

obviously manny is much better than cotto in terms of boxing skills.

the things that im worried are manny's AVERAGE chin and cotto is mch stronger(TOP TRUE WW)

ANY top WW could KO manny in 1 punch.

What makes you say that Manny has an average chin? How did you rate it?
