Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao: Pre-SuperFight Report Card

[AssasinKing]

Cant believe they had the powers the same....Pac hit hard, but i think cotto hits harder...

Its pacs accumulation of punches that hurts the most!

[TOBYLEE1]

A+ power is reserved for one punch KO boxers and Pac is not one of them. He is not Julian Jackson or Mike Tyson. He has showned a lot of power in the lower weights but it remains to be seen if at a higher weight it is gonna affect Cotto. Similar thing happened to ODLH as he went up in weight still had a lot of power but not like the dominating power in the lower weights.

Questions to be answered and answers to be questioned. Larry Merchant got that from me.

[TOBYLEE1]

I agree with you. The fact that Cotto is a natural WW he should have the advantage in power. Nevertheless, this is still a 50/50 fight. Whoever imposes his will, boxing skills, correct game plan and exploits/take advantage of opponents weaknesses/mistakes will emerge as the winner of this bout.

Props to both fighters, specially Pacman for taking on the much bigger & stronger Cotto to that matter.

Totally agree

I can't believe that their trying to put Cotto and Manny's power
on the same level? This Pac mania thing is getting a lil too much.
Now looking at the guys both of them fought in title fights the
names on Cotto's resume seem to look more impressive and were
bigger threats than Manny's with exception to Erik Morales, Barrera
and JMM. I'm not a Cotto fan and I still can't believe how so many
people are riding Manny? Manny hasn't even proved himself against
a guy on the same caliber and primed at WW and people are already
cosigning him. Manny is a good fighter but don't count Cotto out
because in actuality Cotto has endured some tougher, will testing
fights than Manny. I think this fight will show how Manny really does
against someone with a pulse because he showed it the last time
against JMM and he barely sc****d by him twice. Cotto may be
a lot of things but one thing I know is that he's strong and it takes
a lot to put him out. If Cotto boxes smart and patient he beats Pac
easy but if he is careless Pac creams him, it's as simple as that.

Yea Cotto had a good chin against mosley I was at the fight. however, in his recent fights like MArgarito and Clottey, he shows obvious signs of being hurt, even with zab, cotto will ususally back up and dance when hes hurt most likely going to the ropes.

What do you guys think about Manny having better defense than Mosley? Mosley has great D he just likes to fight too much, but his D is good. The only D I see in Manny is his great offense; anyone agree?

man I can't believe how many people are falling for the Pacquiao hype. A 3-1 favorite?? Come on, i just dont see why so many people are favoring pacquiao, i mean he's a great fighter, one of my favorites, but cotto has been fighting the best welterweights out there, where as pacquiao hasnt fought no body good since being at 130. Any true and knowlegeable boxing fan should Cotto is too much for pac. Its gonna be kinda like Mayweather vs. Marquez or Trinidad vs. Hopkins maybe even Hagler vs. Hearns, two great fighters but the great bigger guy wins, I never post on here but i always read what you people write and I see alot of people thinking Pacquiao is some kind of god or something, even comparing him to Bruce Lee lol. So, as far as the fight goes, I think Cotto will be too much for manny and the Pacmania will hopefully be over, but IF Pacquiao DOES win, then I think he is the best fighter in this decade. 7 titles in 7 divisions, damn thats quite an acomplishment but nahh i really dont see that happening. Well anyway I just hope the fight lives up to all the hype and expectations. I'm pretty psyched!

[ricky1978]

I am not rooting for any of these two, but if we have to say who has a better resume, I think cotto has faced better opposition. To proove this, there is no way how Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Hatton, Diaz, or DLH would have beat mosley or clottey at 147. Marquez, Barrera, atc.. Have been one of the bests in their division, but not in 147.

I agree....

Manny's defence is his constant movement, both in terms of his head and body movement, and in terms of using his footwork to move in and out of range so fast that he can fire off punches and be out of range before his opponent can counter.
