who fights better going backwards? Pac or Cotto?

[-Boxzilla-]

whos the better man fighting on the back foot ...

[Freddy Krueger]

Its Cotto but Pacquiao moves better side to side unless Cotto has greatly improved his footwork.

[El Angel]

Cotto can actually outbox people backing up, even though it's not necessarily when he's at his best. Pacquiao is great at coming forward, but backing up is not one of his strong suits. Problem is no one can make Manny back up. I think Cotto is better, but just slightly.

[Mighty_Windir]

If there an advantage Cotto has over Pacman is making him go backwards which Pac loses focus when he does.

cotto easily...thats pretty much all he did against margo and clottey

[Pugilistic™]

Pacquiao is better going backwards imo.

Cotto isn't exactly bad at it though, he can also be effective on the backfoot.

"backing" up cotto is probably the best way to beat him....once you get him on that bike, that's the key. hope that answers your question.

[Kiid Dynamite]

Its close but I voted for Pacquaio, he moves well in angles though

any fight u guys can think of that manny has fought going backwards for any real stretch of time? i cant really think of one ... when i think of manny i think of his forward mov'mt lateral mov'mt and footwork but not going backwards ....

cotto easily? margarito stopped him, clottey just didn't have the heart to. cotto's not the same fighting backwards....
