My Analysis of PACQUAIO vs COTTO

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

You were on point 100% though, difference is, I'm not giving Cotto much of a chance. Cotto was cut against Clottey, say that were to happen again. A speed demon like Pacquiao would take advantage of that, I also believe that Margarito took something away from Cotto; didn't place all the blame on the cut like everyone else did. I've seen Cotto look alot better then that.

Hats off to the ts great analysis !!! You are right about one thing Dominicano. Margo did take something away from Cotto and that something was his invincability. That something he was unable to recapture in his fight with Clottey. Clottey makes everyone look bad and the cut didn't help. The fight with Clottey helped him pschologicly to burry those demons he carried after the Marg fight. Your not giving Cotto credit for his ability to adapt to different styles and his intelligence in the ring. Come Nov 14th cuts or no cuts that inteligence and ring savy as well as heart will be in full display!!! GOOD LUCK

Great analysis.

I took another look at Shane-Cotto last Sunday. It seems that this should not be the basis that Cotto can neutralize speedy fighters. Shane was very wary of Cotto on the early rounds. The reason, IMO, is Cotto's aura of invincibility then. As soon as Shane loosened up, he was taking the fight to Cotto but it was a little too late.

Me, I've got Pac. But it will all boil down to speed and his ability to take a WW punch. Pac's speed is the basis for all his advantages over Cotto. If Cotto can slow him down, pac will have to slug it out with Cotto. This would be great for a FOTY material but I do worry about Pac. As of now, Pac's chin is great in the lower weight and I think he will carry this on the higher weights. Which is the reason why I'm picking Pac.

Interesting, I dont think it was Cottos aura on invincibility, I just think it was Cottos stamina..Shane has great Stamina Cotto's isnt that great everyone knows he tires late, Shane can probably fight 15rd fights if he had to. Shane was being hit hard with the jab..Cotto was keeping Mosely at bay with that jab for most of the fight, once Cotto started to tire then Shane got confidence and started to take the fight to him more, but he couldnt do that in the begining because Cotto's jab held Shane in check.

Thats a good unbiased view. Should be a great fight. Alot of people think that he isnt the same fighter now compared to the pre Margarito Cotto. I disagree, No one has looked dominant againts Clottey, Clottey is one of the top WW in the world, I dont see any of the current WW's dominating or looking good againts Clottey.

floyd woud look good and dominate clottey.

in my unbiased opinion since i'm not a fan of either fighter.........



cotto gets tko'd in 5.

if cotto is overly aggressive ko1 for pacquiao.

floyd woud look good and dominate clottey.

I disagree, I think PBF would beat Clottey yes but dominate him..I cant see it. Clottey is big, strong and fights in that pick a boo style, and has a great chin. Floyd would win but he wont look dominate againts him, it will be a hard fight for sure

i think he can.

i'm not saying 12-0 , 11-1.

clottey will win a few rounds but it'll be because of rounds floyd takes off and rests.

floyd will NOT engage clottey. clottey won't even get close.

Cotto looked bad against Clottey, that wasn't exactly a good performance. Everyone blamed it on the cut, I disagree. It isn't so much the level of opponent Clottey is, that didn't look like Cotto and most would tell you that.

So you dont blame it on the cut but he was knocking clottey down with jabs and not getting hit with that right hand before it. Righhhht.

agreed. floyd's my dude but clottey i think would be his nightmare in this welterweight division... it'll be the closest thing to the castillo fight perhaps even tougher for him clottey's defense isnt easy to penetrate, but then again floyd is a VERY accurate puncher.. i just dont think any fight with clottey is easy

I don't know man, it was also my assessment when I first watched the fight a long time ago. You could be right but I'm thinking that Shane is too cautious is the early rounds. He was being hit by the jab but it's not nearly enough to faze him. Also, as soon as he hits Cotto, Shane backs up. I wonder why. Possibly because of some counters Cotto hit him early on or Mosley is giving him way too much respect.
