Team Cotto Discuss Strategy, Victory Over Pacquiao

[pugay_kamay]

Even when Cotto loses to Pacman, a rematch with Margarito can still make dollars.

You've got to think about it from a Business (Bob Arum) point of view. He's thinking, 'ok when Cotto looses, I still need to find a way to bank off Cotto, hmmm a rematch with Margarito would be the best choice cause their are so many questions in that first fight (Gloves).

Also the PR and Mexican boxing rivalry will bring in good numbers.

Business point of view.

And this could lead to :

Cotto vs Mosley 2
Mosley vs Marga 2

possible rematches, how about floyd? where he will be?

co sign, brah.
it's like when may senior taught ricky another trick.
as i said, cotto will be uncomfortable fyting as a counter-puncher!!
he can not imitate marquez' style overnyt....
simply not his style.....not his natural moves!

Cotto can counterpunch, he doesnt need to learn how to. There's a
huge difference between being a counterpuncher (like Marquez) and
having a very effective counterpunch (like Cotto). In fact, his left hook to the body is often a counterpunch becaues the other fighter leaves himself open when he jabs or crosses. That, in fact will probably be Manny's undoing. But Roach already knows this and has stated it publicly: that Cotto has many skills including a very good counterpunch.

In fact, Cotto beat Mosley with his jab and counterpunch.

it would be foolish to believe cotto won over clottey.

Then two judges were foolish. 2 judges that have waaay more experience inboxing than probably any poster here. especially you

That was a very very good read. Cottos team is focused and it seems Cottos got some fire in his pants since hes the underdog.

I feel this will end shortly after teh first given both of thier styles and the heavy handed fighter will arise victorious

Which will be Miguel Cotto

People are comparing cotto's last performance against clottey for the pac fight. Yea pac is busier, but you gotta realize that clottey hits twice as hard as pac with ten times better defense. Therefore cotto must box a lot smarter and take his time. Pac has no idea what he's getting himself into!!!

Clottey its 10 times harder than Pacman? Really?
Its not always about power, Pacs hand speed is light years ahead of Clotteys. Cotto saw most of Clotteys punches coming, bracing himself.. Pac comes at angles with lazing speed throwing combos. Cotto wont be able to brace himself when the 3rd and 4th punch of a combo is thrown.

Team Cotto underestimates Pacquiao in this fight. The same pattern with those of Manny’s previous fights.

Every previous opponent of Manny is labeled ‘shot’ by the latter. At the end of the fight, the one labeling the word ‘shot’ to the previous falls victim of the same tag by becoming one, and the series continues and repeated by the upcoming opponent.

“Marquez is past his prime (shot), I am bigger and stronger than Manny” – Diaz said.

“Diaz is a paper champion (shot), he is a punching bag, I am bigger and stronger than Manny” – DLH said.

“DLH weight-drained (shot), I can KTFO him in the same fashion as Manny did, I am the Champion, this is my weight, my territory, he’s stepping on my territory, I am bigger and stronger than Manny” – Hatton said.

“Hatton is a shot fighter. I am not a weight-drained DLH or a shot Hatton, I’m Miguel Cotto. I am bigger and stronger than Manny” – Cotto said

What would Money Mayweather say on Cotto before he fights Pacman? We'll see on November 15.

Hey genius. That's exactly what the original poster said. Clottey does hit harder than Pac but Pac is busier. Cotto might not see all of Manny's punches coming but they are not as hard as Clottey's, or Mosley's, or Margacheatos' so he will be able to take them. Furthermore, Cotto's perfect stance and low center of gravity means that even if Pac hits him flush (which he will) Cotto will not go down. Reading comprehension bro. Give it a try.

Incomprehensible. Who's the latter? According to your sentence Manny (since you sentence first mentions the opponent and then Manny, hence the latter). So according to what you are saying Manny labels his opponents shot and then the one labeling the previous fighter shot falls victim of the same tag by becoming one? So Manny falls victim to the same tag? WTF??? No disrespect but I have no idea what you are trying to say.

I would argue once clottey lets his hands fly he is just as fasta s pacquiao. His hand speed was more impressive than Cottos.
