Cotto Uses Underdog Status For Motivation To Beat Manny

[TOBYLEE1]

Size doesn't win fights, stop with the excuses. Heavyweights are 20-30 pounds apart fight night and it doesn't usually affect the outcome of the fight. Shannon Briggs got his 270 pound ass beaten by much smaller fighter Sultan Ibragimov who was about 220.

Really, ask Tito Trinidad and DelaHoya what happened when they faced Hopkins

[The Underboss]

Cottos secret weapon against Manny.

I lol everytime I read this Cotto underdog stuff. How is the man that is gonna weigh 15lbs more on fight night to be considered the underdog? Even with weight aside, Cotto is one tough hombre. He has boxing skill, underrated speed, knows how to control speed, tough chin, incredible heart, and power. How on earth is he the underdog again? Because he didn't look so good against someone in his weight class in his last fight that would have given any fighter a tough fight, and he had to fight most of it with a really nasty cut early on? Because Margarito knocked him out with suspect gloves after 11 brutal rounds? People that simply pick Pacquiao based on last fight performance and not common sense are the kind of people that would buy a shamwow.

this was a phenomenal post dude.

I see this fight like DeLaHoya/Hopkins, Pac outspeeding and then Cotto imposing his natural size on him. Pac is being rated on his peformances against DLH and Hatton, in between there was a match against Marquez that can't be forgotten. I give it to Pac by taking such a risky fight not like other fighters that take the path of least resistance and call themselves the best.

i dont get it either...

[bluetuazon]

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.

average chin??? bro manny has never been knocked out in 8 years or more...he doesnt have average chin man...he has an underated chin...but imo his chin is above average..

Usually Speed and Skill beats Size and Power

When two elite fighter meet the difference in victory is usually speed and skill not size and power. The thing is Cotto has some speed and skill too.

average chin??? bro manny has never been knocked out in 8 years or more...he doesnt have average chin man...he has an underated chin...but imo his chin is above average..

Co-sign.

Plus the fact that Pac is moving-up in weight. And it's quite ironic if you call yourself the best but you are not fighting the best just b-coz your L is 0, isn't it?

No question about it that Cotto will KO Pacquiao between 6-8 rounds. Cotto has showed many times that he can handle boxer with speed and strength. Seen to be that people do not believe in Cotto in many of his boxing match, but he will prove the world that he is one of the best fighter in the world.

whoever thinks cotto is the under dog against that midget is a dumbass.those quick punches will bounce right off cotto.pac does'nt hit harder than clottey nor margacheato.plus cotto can box along with his power.the only thing pac is favored in is gettind a ass whooppin
