who fights better going backwards? Pac or Cotto?

[Bushidō]

definitely Cotto

I don't think Pacquiao knows how to fight going backwards

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

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 ....

I was thinking the same thing. Those voting for Manny, care to give some examples.

Cotto is much better at it. I suggest people not only watch Mosley/Clottey or Margarito fights but some of his early fights against Abdulaev and John Brown. He beat those two by boxing moving back and throwing counter shots all fight.

I have never seen many won a fight fighting backwards.... or at least I dont remember.. hes a coming forward & side to side angles fighters..

Good examples. He fought Abdullaev the same way in the Olympics. I even have footage of him sparring Vince Phillips, and Cotto is fighting backwards the entire session. Here's a few more fights where Cotto is fighting backwards.

vs. Ubaldo Hernandez, Ceballos, Bazan.

Neither is particularly good at it, but Cotto is probably a little better.

Cotto no doubt. manny doesnt even throw Punches when backed up!!!!

All I can think of off the top of my head is Morales who he knocked down going backwards while being chased along the ropes. I think it was the second fight?

Not that it's "a stretch of time", but he can be effective going backwards occasionally.

Id have to pick Cotto ! Manny is not as good ,but rarely goes back. When he does he gets caught. Forward and side to side for manny. Cotto fights better going back. Its a good thing... Cotto will be doing a lot of retreating in this fight!

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

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.
