    What can Cotto do to score an upset victory?

    What can Cotto do to score an upset victory?
    Low blows that deduct points but hurt Manny,
    Bullying Manny into the ropes and trap him,
    Fighting to last the full 12 rounds,
    Concentrating on body shots ,
    Out-punch Manny with his lead left hand jabs

      Exactly...show up. Do not leave yourself soooooooooo wide open like hatton did and use that good jab he has and attack the body as much as he can to slow pacquiao. Pacquiao is very fast but not 10 times faster than judah/mosley as some blind fans believe. Pacquiao throws ALOT of punches but leaves himself open sooo much and other fighters do not capitalize or have the power to hurt him.......Cotto does. I can see pacquiao with his quickness putting down cotto with a flash knockdown but i also see cotto hurting pacquiao soo much that roach might end it to save pacquiao for a mayweather fight. Even if pacquiao loses, i see pacquiao vs Floyd and maybe cotto vs mosley or margarito.

                Actually I tink Pacquioa's weakness are counterpuncher like Marquez and Mayweather. Cotto doesn't counter too much but Im thinking his jab and body shots will slow Pacquioa down enough to take the win. Cotto defense is pretty good his heart and chin as well. Cotto's weakness: uppercuts. He can never block those. If Pacquioa comes in with that game plan then YES I can see Pacquioa winning but he doesn't throw that many. Manny like some have said has becomed more tactician which means he does OVERWHELM his opponents like before. His hands are still fast but he mainly uses angles and if you ever paid attention Cotto always keeps his hands up close to his chin to block any overhand punches to the face. Pacquioa likes going to the face and rarely does he punch to the body. Cotto does go to the body and can punch like a mule's kick as well. Cotto will not do like Hatton (hopefully not) and stick his head out for target practice. Hatton's mistake: He thought he could overpower Pacquioa. David Diaz too. Cotto never trys to overpower anyone. He hits hard but likes to box and throw combinations and punch to the body.

                  Like a few have said all he needs to do is be Miguel Cotto. Cotto should be able to ice Manny if he sticks to the game plan.
