Cotto/Pac=Cotto/Paulie

[Alibata]

Ricky Hatton can best answer that question.

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

A legend at the lower classes.

Against Cotto, he's not gonna look like much of a legend.

This is the ******est thread of the day I think.

1. Paulie is not a southpaw
2. Paulie doesn't have any power - Manny has a lot
3. Paulie's awkwardness is all defensive where as Manny's is offensive
4. The most important - Paulie couldn't carry Manny's jock

Please think before you type.

i think pac, being a southpaw with good power in both hands, great speed AND most importantly, AWKWARD AS HELL in the ring... will be doom for cotto

cotto can time well to counter speed BUT pac's style is all ****ed up and almost impossible to read, let alone time...




either way, its almost time

Paulie's not a southpaw my man.

Typo.

Homie. Rocky Hatton handled Paulie a lot easier than Cotto did, he won every round. Ffs, Paulie went life and death with N'dgoo (sp). This is like comparing Dr. Pepper to RC cola.

the foot movement will be the key for pac. i see cotto trying to counterpunch in the early rounds, and when that doesn't work he'll chase pac like he did wit paulie.

Man.

It appears you can't have a reasonable discussion on here without people getting all emotional.

Relax people, are these your family members or something?

****.

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?

you just compared paulie to pac

If you really believe that, you're past it street bully.

Cotto changed Paulies outlook on life. Hatton didn't do **** other than frustrate him.
