    Cotto is bigger, stronger, better technically and has fought guys way bigger and stronger than Pac.

    If he can stand up to Mosley, Tony,Clottey and Judah you think a blown up FW is gonna hurt him?

    doesn't necessary work that way.

    hatton beat kostya who was supposed to be a bigger puncher than pac. how did that one end up.

    oscar was never ko'd except by hopkins. no way pac kos him. how did that one end up.

    honestly though, paulie ain't the best guy to compare pac with.

      How bout that Perez/Agbeko fight huh???

      That is a serious challenger to JMM/Diaz for FOTY.
      That was a great fight. had it 6-6 with the "KD" making the difference. jmm diaz was still better imo, but that was a close second. The judges were smoking crack thought it was a very very close fight. I have a feeling Agbeko took him lightly, he didn't fight the measured controlled way he did against Darchinian.

        Apples and oranges, Tzyu and Oscar were both old when that happened to them. The Tzyu fight in particular was a joke. Hatton got away w/ murder that night.

        Agbeko looked serious about wanting to knock Perez out. He went in there and tried for 12 rounds to take his head off.

        I thought the scores were a bit wide too. Agbeko was doing a lot of excellent work to the body, but to me Perez was winning the exchanges, plus the kd.

        A 115-113 score was appropriate.

          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?
          cant roll with you on this one jackie boy.

          Paulie & Pacquiao are nowhere near comparable in any shape,style, or form.
