    Neither of them can fight going backwards. Both are straight forward fighters who excel when they are playing the role of the bully.

    We will see because I have a feeling Manny will have to move backwards to win this fight.
    To this my only answer would b what animalistic said. Cotto is pretty good moving back

      When has Cotto been good moving backwards? LOL

      He didn't look good vs Clottey going backwards. He didn't look good vs Marg going backwards.

      The fights he has looked good in were the ones where he was playing the bully. Juda, Mosley, Malinaggi etc.

      I'm not saying that Cotto is a complete fumbling idiot going backwards but that's not his strong point. He is best when moving straight forward, bullying you and taking your body out. That's what Cotto does best.....

      As far as Manny, I can't say because I have never seen him go backwards except when JMM was knocking his block off forcing him to go backwards but that was more of JMM's counter punching than anything esle.

        Cotto is always running from people (Margarito, Clottey, Shane, N'dou)... He's used to fighting going backward.

          Pac cannot fight going backwards at all. That's a very good question...

            who cares about moving back when pac can turn cotto with his footwork, leading to angles that will catch the flatfooted cotto out.

              Actually Cotto does great going backwards. You would have to see all of his fights to appreciate this. He actually KO'd a few of his opponents fighting off the backfoot.

                like most i expect manny to be using angles and turning etc. was just wonder how he would do going backwards if miguel forces him to do so. i think its obvious cotto is most effective going forward, but can do good work going backwards ... i think he is rightfully winning this poll ...

                  LMAO at those who say Pacquiao, it's one of the main reasons why Pacquiao will lose to Cotto; he can't fight going backwards. Cotto can do it pretty well.
