ok so hypothetically speaking. If this fight were to happen.
First , Cotto needs a new trainer. Not wanting to disrespect Joe Santiago or Manny, but cotto had the right stuff to beat Manny and I will explain why.
First round: Cotto dictates the paste and doesnt engage in exchanges , counters very good , matches Mannys explosiveness by catching him with quick jabs coming from a nice angle.
That was key for a victory. And I dont care who says what. As long as Cotto kept this up he had this fight , and this is where Mayweathers last statement about pac being one dimensional kicks into gear.
I can see why maywetaher considers Manny a one dimensional fighter, Manny last 5 opponents , 3 mexicans , Hatton and De la Hoya. Mexicans love to exchange , they are hit me so I can hit you harder type fighters. And that gives Manny the edge with his way superior speed. Hatton , he throws and throws , with no defense , Manny throws and throws , with some defense and better accuracy , and De la Hoya. Which had no chance.
Manny can only beat you one way. With his speed. But unless you dont give him an open canvas , he wont have anywhere to paint his shots.How do you do that. Box Box Box a lot.
Jab , jab , jab , counter and pick your spots , and thats exactly what Cotto did in the first.
He dictated the paste of the first round , did not let Manny settle into his fighting style which is exchange a lot and Ill beat you with my speed.
From the second round on , Cotto forgot that Mannys speed , is out of the ordinary. Take away his speed , and he doesnt have much resources , only his bounce a lot style of walking the ring which will make you miss a lot ,And Cotto took his speed away in the first round.
Cotto thought that after that first round , he could actually throw combinations and that Manny will not engage. after all , it was called FIREPOWER. somebody was going to land first , we all knew who had the advantage , and we all knew what the other guy had to do , what he did in the first. And forgot to do from the second on. Cotto engage and fell into Manny trap , he tried to outland and beat Manny to the punch and you cannot do that. After that fight , I came to the conclusion that whoever beats manny pacquiao is going to do it in a boring fight , lacking a lot of action , and using a lot of defense.
