What if Manny cant hurt Cotto?

[El Chicano]

Manny certainly has the right combination of speed and power to hurt Miguel. Even if he doesn't KO him, he'll hurt him enough to keep him cautious and outpoint him. Manny was hurting Oscar, that's why Oscar quit, to prevent from getting KO'd and embarrassed even further.

[PhonzoXD]

indeed sir

Great question. I've been thinking about it myself.

I think if Cotto can take Pac's punch, Manny is in for a long night.

FTR I think Cotto can take Manny's punch.

I don't know how much Pac actually hurt Oscar. At no point was Oscar close to being knocked out. He was just too fast for Oscar and was beating him up.

What if he can land a bunch of punches but cotto keeps coming foward cause he cant be hurt?

Much like how mosley couldnt hurt Cotto for most of the begining rounds?

manny can hurt cotto.

i agree...but even if he can't, let's be real- malinaggi couldn't hurt cotto, but he gave him problems with his speed and boxing ability later on, after a precarious early start....

i think we can all agree that manny is better and much stronger than paulie.

yea. **** what oscar says, manny definitely had him cowering in the corner numerous times, towards the end of that fight....

[PACbeatFLOYD]

he will outbox cotto with his angles

yup with all the weird angle punches, cotto wouldn't even see it coming!! LOL

[iHateThePacMan]

aim for the left lower eyebrow until it cuts open.

[TheUptownKid]

then cotto will walk thru pac and stop him like he did judah.

pac has better conditioning than most fighters and can keep up ridiculous work rates for 12 full rounds. He also is not conventional in that he bounces around like a rabbit on speed all fight, this is why cotto won't walk thru him because he will not be there to walk thru. If you listen to roach's advice in the corner all oscar fight and most of diaz fight it was to box and give angles which will be his game plan again. Cotto isn't the bully type, he won't grab pac, so he won't be able to really corner the faster man like that which bodes badly for cotto.

[TheUptownKid]

He is deep water then. That's his only chance to keep Cotto off him.

you're lying. pac's power is not even his advantage in the fight, it's his speed and that is his main way of keeping cotto off of him.
