Mosley: Cotto Hits Harder Than Margarito

[Bobby_Manila]

"Cotto will be a lot bigger than Manny thinks."

"Cotto's speed is deceptive."

"Cotto was champion for a reason."

You can't look at Clottey as a gauge for this fight because "Clottey comes into the ring at 170 lbs...170 (Clottey) vs 148 (Pacquiao)."




Pac is ****in crazy. There's a fine line between bravery and foolishness. Did Pac cross that line taking this fight, at this weight? Can't wait to see this!

What a great fighter Shane Mosley is/was. I always think his defeats against Forrest were because he was somewhat scared of Vernon because he had beaten him in the past. Still, two great fighters. RIP Vernon.

you honestly believe that cause i don't think that is a true statement at all just my opinion though

Someone who sparred with both of them says Paq hits harder.

I can see how Cotto hits harder then Margarito. Margarito is more of a sheer strength fighter then a power puncher. Its kind of like back when Tito, Oscar and Ike Quartey ran the welterweight division back in the day. Tito was known as the pure power puncher where as Quartey was known for his sheer strength.

The Sugar man is a people person and a warrior no doubt, he's great for boxing especially after handing margocheato an ass whoop'n. He can and will be champion again before he retires IMO...

As far as the packman having power in his punches...he has some, but here's the difference...

The packman hits you fast and the damage is cumulative, but it's mostly power for the lower weight classes. In this weight class it's more points than power cuz when you hit someone that weighs more, it's harder to move'm and in the end you could end up hurting your wrists rather than the other fighter.

Cotto's power is undeniable, when he hits you it isn't for points, his shots are going through your head or body and trying to come out the other side. He can deliver such damage because he has a bigger bone structure thereby hurting the other fighter rather than himself (hands/wrists). SCARY!...

Margarito wanted or had with the plaster of paris what Cotto has naturally..."a bigger bone structure."

Fancy that a fighter of Shanes class evaluating the biggest fight out there right now and all he quotes is fight night weights , real weight like he said Cotto will come in at 160 just like me ,,,,,,, eh Mangler Pullcounter notice not a single mention of LW vs WW , but 148 vs 160 ,,,,, real !

Pacquiao also hits harder than Margarito.

I guess you've been in the ring with both then...
