Miguel Cotto is Too Strong For Pacquiao, Says Chavez

[The Underboss]

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

WTF are you bringing old videos? everybody knows Pac in those days he couldn't fight well at 108.

Has he been KO'ed ever since he moved out of the Flyweight/Super Flyweight divisions? .

Cotto will have a hard time getting Manny, he moves way too fast.

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.

Yes, and according to many observers, lost (if not officially) all three fights. If Cotto struggled to match work rates with the above three, how will he hope to manage Pacquiao's pace?

everybody thinks tha manny is the best fighter ever, listen his record is 49-3-2, of all of those fights I can only name you 6 good fighters, who were the others 48 figthers? don't come saying tha he fought hatton and dlh, when we all know thathatton is overrated and dlh wasn't the fighter he once was. Andhe had problems with JMM. Cotto is stronger, faster and better boxer the JMM.I'm a big fan of manny but I think he regrets figthing with cotto, i saw the24/7 special on hbo and for some reason manny didn't look like he is 100% into this fight. If I'm you I keep my $20 G's and just watch the fight and hope he last all 12 rounds.

I agree.Sometimes fighters believe the hype about them when they should really think of the reality. Pacquiao lost to Marquez, we all know that. Yes, pacquiao got the decision but we all know he lost. If you want to say cotto lost to clottey, fine. But remember clottey is a big welterweight who makes soooo many fighters look bad in their wins. Also, clottey can beat ANY pacquiao opponent with no problems. If you want to be in denial, fine. Remember, Clottey ALMOST beat margarito 2 years before nargarito vs clottey.

Cotto has tremendous power against true welterweights, pacquiao does not. Pacquiao almost lost to marquez, who got destroyed by a TRUE welterweight (floyd). Common sense people.

Chavez Comments Are Entirely True, And......

...I hope MC wins but how is he going to neutralize Pac's speed? MC's too slow so how can he use his power? Come fight night, he will be dehydrated to make wt. and will quickly run out of gas chasing Pac.

Fighter A beats Fighter B, and Fighter B beats Fighter C, so Fighter A beats Fighter C. Common sense. Right? Stick around and watch a few more fights, rob. You'll be surprised to find that things don't quite work that way.

Once again, the 3 fighters are true welterweights and 2 of them can fight as middleweights. Pacquiao is not a true welterweight and how many TRUE, good welterweights has pacquiao fought? Marquez? Diaz? morales? barerra? I'm not saying pacquiao cannot beat Cotto, just saying it's a very dangerous fight for pacquiao. He will feel the power and speed of cotto. Cotto has more power than hatton, marquez, morales, barerra AND the power is TRUE WW power. Also, cotto,, no matter how he lost to margarito is in his prime and younger.

Cotto destroys Pac....in an MMA cage

Chavez is right. Cotto could easily pick up and toss Manny to the floor...if he's looking to get himself DQ'd.

watching Cotto-Mosley and when Cotto and Pacquiao stood up against each other, what happens if Pacman's punches have no effect in Cotto, Pac may get frustrated, I agree Cotto is scary and I wouldnt be surprised if he dominates Pacman for 12 rounds. unless Cotto looks bad like the last time out against Clottey.

Pacquiao knocked out Hatton in 2 rounds, and badly beat up DLH, his punches would indeed have an effect on Cotto.

Trust me, i get boxing. It's more about styles of fighters. As you pointed out. Cotto got beat by margarito who got destroyed by mosley who lost to Cotto. lol...i undertand it very well...lol

If pac breaks Cotto's nose in the 1st round, will that be the beginning of the end in the fight?
