Miguel Cotto is Too Strong For Pacquiao, Says Chavez

[iloveboxing2]

Missing something....you'll find it on 11/14 as so many people will also find it. Just hope the winner gets credit. I know i'll give much props to cotto and pacquiao.

\I like both fighters because they are exciting to watch..but Pacs speed I dunno.

this is going to be an interesting fight.im not going to pick a winner because they are evenly matched i think.

ok for the Person who said that i De La Hoya would return he would KO Cotto. You know nothing about boxing with that comment. Cotto beat the man who beat De La Hoya 2 times with no problem. Had Cotto fought De La Hoya Cotto would have stopped him in 5 rounds or less. You Cotto haters are going to be hating more when he Knocks Out Pacquiao!!!

the old cutman chavez is right about cotto being stronger, but i don't agree he is equally talented with pac. we would be amazed again that a bigger, stronger guy would kneel to a smaller fighter.

If Cotto quits on the 14th, man oh man, this site will explode like a nuke. I expect a full fight or somewhat close to it. It will take time for Pac to beat up Miguel if it happens or the fight will end in the first 2 rds as Cotto tries to bury Pac with pressure from the jump. If he sees that Pac can hang with him, he will go to an observing, feeling out strategy before attacking. If he tries to **** with Pac and gets tagged by Pac's fast hands he won't continue to do that (I'd hope) so I think the fight will end between 8 or 9 and 12 rds- either a decision victory for the victor or a KO win.....for Pac I think, Cotto has too much mass to sustain full-force for 12 rds while Pac does. Sometimes being a bigger guy is a bad thing.

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

Yep, thats what im thinking could make the difference in favor of manny.

Cotto didn't look too good in his last 2 fights.....

So I'd say it again, ODLH will deck Cotto inside 10 rds. I am Cotto fan but I don't write biased comments. I have watched these 2 fighters the last 5 years. Cotto's no the same boxer, I hope he wins but doubt it..

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.

A lot of 'IF's there dude.

Will you reward Pacmang with Adulation when he Wins, KO's or makes COTTO QUIT ??

Cotto shook his head , NO MAS MANG to his corner mang, that was the fighter QUITTING , "IF" the corner throws in the towel that does NOT mean the fighter QUIT.

Easy stuff , you should know that .

BoriBlaze..you don't know anything about boxing..

Shane won both fights becasue he was younger and faster at that time..Shane lost to Cotto becasue he was not as fast and in my opinion, that fight was a draw, draw because I am a Cotto fan.

I'm still trying to understand, why all the hate for Cotto quitting against Margarito? Watch that fight again. The damage he took was ridiculous and odds are it was from plaster in the gloves of Margs. I don't hold that against Miguel.

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.

1 pound difference will not turn a boxer into as many advantages as what you think..........
