Cotto/Pac=Cotto/Paulie

[Glamour Puss]

In that Cotto is up against a smaller, but faster handed guy.

I would venture to say that Paulie is also the better boxer, more slick and elusive and overall better defensively than Pac, which doesn't spell anything but doom for him.

Cotto may not be as fast, but he is fast, but more importantly he is a MASTER at timing faster opponents. You can be slower than your opponent but if you know how to time him, his speed is meaningless.

The difference between Pac/Paulie is in the punch, but Cotto has shown he can take punches from much bigger and more powerful fighters so Manny's punch won't mean much here.

The fight will play out similar to the Paulie and Judah fights, with Packy having some moments in the early rounds a la Zab Judah, but by the 4th or 5th Cotto will have slowed him down and will be on his way to a one sided pounding that ends by around the tenth.

Pac is in too good shape and too tough to be stopped early.

Thoughts?

I think its a pretty apt comparison. The left hook Floyd landed was weak. JMM shook that **** off real quick.

The only difference between Pac/Paulie is power.

Otherwise there's not a lot to pick from.

I think Pac moves his feet way better than Judah and moves his head better Than Paulie, who sticks his chin out too much. Pac also is very accurate lately unlike both of them and has great stamina. I think theres no comparison whatsoever.

Paulie does that from a distance though, he never does it when you're close enough to hit him.

The comparison is not meant as an affront to Pac. Paulie's a world class fighter.

Two fast lefties, that were smaller and try to box Cotto.

Doesn't work too good.

Paulie's not a southpaw my man.

[Stoppage]

You're comparing Pacquiao to Malignaggi?

Okay. Have fun.

I didn't mean it as an exact comparison, more of a rough one.

The fight will be more exciting since Pac doesn't hold like Paulie does.

Uh yeah, there is zero comparison between the two. One is a legend, the other is a joke. NEXT plz.
