    Which will be more effective?

    Over the past coule weeks I've watched tape of both Cotto and Pacquiao and I've seen both strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited, so which do you think will be more effective, Manny's uppercut through Cotto's guard (where he has proven vulnerable) or Cotto's left to the body (which has proven devastating)?

    I'm expecting Manny to unload on some serious uppercuts. If Cotto's cut opens up again - and I believe it will - You'll see Cotto step it up BIG TIME. He knows he's not up against clottey with a low work rate and can't afford to have the fight stopped early because Manny will win the early rounds.

      but pac is small as hell why wouldnt cotto rip that body to slow him down? I would think that would be his first game plan?

        Manny is not going to be right in front of cotto. He will be out of right using his rhythm and quick feet to dart in and get shots off. Cotto needs to find a way to back manny up to the ropes to land the left hook. That's when manny leaves the body open. I don't see manny letting that happen till later n the fight. I think manny's straight left is going to be his best punch.

          cotto should be able to walk through anything a former 106 lber can dish out and stop pac under 6.... but if cotto doesn't by the 6th round he will gas and get beat up.

              I don't see Cotto tiring in this fight. If he's able to impose his will with his size and strength he should be walking Manny down and wearing him down. That of course is IF after tasting manny's power he feels confident Manny can't hurt him.

              If Cotto cuts and he decides to back up, move and use the ring that is where he'll tire. It then becomes a completely different story because manny will be all over that

                did u hear manny pacquiao's story? How he wore weights in his shorts during weigh ins to get into tournaments? How he wanted to turn pro so he could eat full meals? Manny was 106 at 15 years old which is 5 yrs b4 miguel turned pro and way before maturity. only reason cotto wasnt 106 is because he was a self admittedly fat kid. Please stop bringing this up

                  believe this: if cotto backs up against pac he will get destroyed!!!

                  you have to back pac up... like morales did.

                  jmm doesn't hold the blueprint... he never beat pac.

                  cotto took a margo beating for 11 rounds and didn't get KOed... he quit because he got tired.

                  surely cotto can take punches from a former 106 lber.
