For those who think Cotto is going to beat Pacquiao
Collapse

better head movement? Ill give you that!
Better body rithym? How? Cotto is never of balance and Manny always is.
Higher workrate? yes
better endurance? Probably
better at leading with power shots? Well manny most of the time leads with his straight left, so yeah.
Fights better under pressure? hell now. Manny doesnt even throw when push back.
Chin? How many times have Cotto being KD or much less KO?
And how about, better balance, Counterpunching, defense, Jab, Body Punching, Cutting off the ring, fighting backwards, hooking?
Manny maybe higher accomplishments and resume wise, but Cotto is the better skilled of the 2!!Last edited by Ch@mpBox@PR; 10-21-2009, 03:02 AM.Comment

By body rhythm I meant in terms of usin torso movement for defense. Beyond just blockin or movin his head, he ducks, weaves, slips. Not sayin Cotto don't, Pac just does it better.
Pac uses offense as defense. When he's in trouble, he won't move backwards, he'll come out swingin. When I say fightin under pressure, I don't mean anticipatin shots so he can counter, cuz he don't ever do that. I just mean sayin **** it and lettin it go.
Again, I say p4p chin, not at WW. In his fights, Pac been hurt less than Cotto, unless you countin his early KO losses, which I ain't cuz he was a kid. Pac been hurt by JMM, that's it. Cotto been stung by Abdullaev, SSM, and to the body by CQ once. Cotto been hurt by Corley, Torres, Marg, Clottey, Zab.
I agree Cotto better
balance
countering
jab
body work
fightin off back foot
Cotto ain't got better D, I already explained that. Pac never been in wit a mover that required him to cut off the ring, so I won't make a call on that. And the way their styles clash, Pac got the edge as far as **** he can do if he can take Cotto's punch, which I don't think he can to either the body or head.Comment

Pac lets go more flurries than Cotto does. He don't have to have his man hurt to let his hands go.

Oh I see!!!!!
That doesnt mean he is better fighter underpressure or more effective. Its just that you happend to like what he does. And again, when he is pressure and pushed back he dont even throw.
Cotto was never hurt by Mosely, Judah Abdullaev nor Clottey. Stunned? yes, hurt? no. Only guys who have hurt Cotto are Corley(Temple shot) and Torres who wreacked Cottto
The rest is just opinon and you have yours and I have mind.
So if you count them, Cotto is the better skilled of the 2 and cant bat Manny in more than 1 way than just for being bigger.
Case Close, thank You very much!!Comment

Pacquiao dont led his hands go unless he have a mummy in front. And when he does he swings wild as hell.

Pac is not mentally beaten...Cotto, to a certain extent, I believe is.
Cotto has all the tools to stop Pac.. The thunderous body shots...the ring smarts... physical toughness, and a veteran's experience.
But its mentality and heart that will be put to the test in this matchup, and its my belief that Pac has the edge on both. He on some "die in the ring" type ****...
I will give Cotto FULL credit if he stops the force of nature known as Manny Pacquiao.. but I just don't think he has it in him anymore. That fire that Pac still has, is flickering in Cotto. That's what I see.
And that's why I choose Pac to win.Comment
