    Will Cotto knock Manny down with a jab?

    That seems to be Cotto's "thing" in a couple recent fights. His timing is great and he's stiff/solid with his punches.

    In terms of overall timing, Cotto will be the closest to Marquez that Pacman has fought since his second fight with Marquez.

    Probably not. But with Cotto's weight and timing, his jab is a very solid weapon.

    But Pac isnt Clottey. He is on his toes most of the time. I dont think he is going to commit himself to any power punches unless Cotto comes at him.

    It seems anything can happen on Saturday. I cant wait.

      Will Cotto be able to land the jab at all. I want to know if Cottos timing can beat Mannys speed. I don't think it can though, I don't think Cottos ever fought anyone with the footspeed and maybe even hand-speed of Pacquiao. I think Pacquiao might be a tad faster then Mosley and Judah and that makes a total difference for this fight.

        Nope, but the jab will set up the right hand. If manny goes down it will be on the ropes with a body shot

            no... MP will go down with a low blow...

            remember his fight against agapito sanchez?

            shame on cotto if he low blows his smaller foe...

              I just didn't get the above. I thought Clottey had never been down!? If Pac had a chin like Clottey he would be unstoppable.
