Miguel Cotto is Too Strong For Pacquiao, Says Chavez

[bluetuazon]

u mean shawn porter 10 pro fights? pleasssee & im sure ur also talking about ricardo torres from when cotto was having trouble making 140lbs., right? amateur comment neither relevant to what manny's gonna face on nov.14th....thats like comparing this 1996 manny to the one that gonna fight on nov. 14th......but since u wanna bring up torres even though cotto over came that fight in convincing fashion, well lets take a look at what many pac fans choose to wanna forget or be in total denial....miguel never has never been KO'd, not by margarito(he chose 2 take a knee) not by torres & not even when he was 18 years old like manny......cotto is the more skilled fighter, manny just has speed...period.






dont get caught up in the hype, nobody's invincible. cotto will KO the pacman, but thx to all the hype cotto will finally get the respect hes due....cotto & puerto rico's glory will not be denied

im sure porter will beat the **** out of cotto man...10 pro fights...with 100+ amatuer fights to back that up...take it easy on the guy he is young...but at 160 dont u think he hits as hard as cotto???

That headline of the story was a teaser. I thought that JCC Sr was going to give a high opinion of Cotto to make up for what Vargas did by saying that Cotto is a quitter. Lol.

Yes, cotto gave up but he gave up to fight another day and he took on clottey with 1 eye and looks the best he has ever looked right now. What does it say about pacquiao if cotto(quitter?) beats pacman?

Look at what Floyd(true WW) did to Marquez, who actually beat pacman in 2nd fight. Now Cotto (true WW) will fight pacquiao....funny as hell.

I think Pacquiao will go down as an ATG, but fighting a true welterweight in his prime and dangerous as cotto is a big mistake. Pacquiao has crazy speed and power but Cotto has fought mosley, clottey, margarito, boxers that can be called middleweights. After cotto vs pacquiao i will still respect pacquiao, just feel this decision is very wrong but right in the money that pacquiao will make. Pacquiao will show his great speed but miguel's power will be too much and pacquiao will be hurt. Get ready to see Roach wave the towel. If Roach waves the towel, will that mean pacquiao quit? Good question.

Cotto should win. I just can not picture Pac taking some of those powerful left hooks, shrugging them off, and going back to whatever he was doing.....I seriously doubt Pac's guard would be sufficient to block Cotto's punches....everything that doesn't hit air will go through. It may take a few round for Cotto to adjust to the speed but once he does It will be over soon after as he lands with more frequency.

Of course hes gonna say that, he worked for Pacquiao now works with Miguel Cotto lol

I am still waiting to heard from old Cotto's cutman Miguel Diaz, that now is working with Pac, that Pac is going to win.

no matter the situation or the big card .... health b4 anything... every trainer is there to look for his fighter health..... pac has 2 much heart.... he wont quit...... but if freddie throw in the towel.... becase pac.. is getting a brutal beatdown.. i will applaude him....... same goes for cotto...

health b4 anything.

The thing that amazes me is how everyone seems to forget that Cotto in his own right has very good hand and foot speed. Cotto will have no problems cutting off the ring and finding his target. While I like Pacquaio, I also feel like Chavez that Cotto will be too big and too strong come fight night. Unlike Oscar D. Cotto will not be dehydrated and drained.

This fight should have been made at 144 lbs. It was a serious mistake for the Pacquaio camp to take this fight at 145 lbs. A two pound difference from the normal welterweight limit is just not significant enough.

I also feel that Cotto throws the straighter punches and is over all defense included, a better boxer. Unfortunately speed will not be enough for Pacquaio to win this fight as I have already mentioned that Cotto is no slow fighter in his own right.

Simply put, Cotto has too many significant advantages going into this fight. November 14th can't get here quick enough.

Wow! What a difference a whole pound can make! Really? Btw, take a look at Cotto's last three fights. There is a reason why the man is coming in as the underdog. It's not just Pac-Hype.

Chavez is right. Cotto should KO lil Pac in 6.

that's if Cotto can catch Manny....

But manny won't have to shrug them off because he is too -_FAST
because he will be going in and out coming from different angles

then they wake up...
