Ever wonder why Cotto neutralized the speed of Mosley and Judah but not that of PAC?!

[MARKΒNLV]

I'm not sure that he neurtralised Judah's speed that well, it's just that Judah started to fade the more Cotto hit him, and also Pacquiao has a more varied offence than Judah.

One analyst (I forgot who) said that the difference between Manny and Mosley/Zab is that Mosley/Zab have a faster 1-2 than Pac but Pac always throws a much faster 1-2-3 or a 1-2-3-4. Most of his opponents usually expect his 1-2 but most of the time never his 3-4.

No offense but I think you give Evangelista too much credit when Cotto spent much of his time training himself. No knock against your post or you personally but these two had issues long withstanding.

Peace.

its true i give evangelista an assload of credit for cotto i dont think he was trainign himself i think ev. knew cotto so well and that he knows boxing so he knew the right thinkgs to do yea they had problems but i think it was more of cotto wanting to train himself and you just cant do that in boxing because you dont see everything...santiago doesnt see the things that ev. sees and doestnt know cotto the fighter as well experience plays big in boxing and i dont take anything on this site personally so its cool

[boxing_great]

thats a really good question.
I'm thinking the logical solution would be because Pac throws his quick punches from difficult angles, so they are harder to see coming possibly?

Er Mosley was past prime when he faced Cotto too? Prime Mosley makes Cotto his ***** and forces him to take a few knees in the process.

Exactly, everyone is overrating Mosley's speed at this point. But, Shane is probably hitting much harder these days compared to yester-years.

looks familiar.. Do you guys remember this quote every time he post something.

Who's alt is this?

[Left Hook Tua]

also cotto being shot was a major factor,he was never the same after margarito

man , ricardo torres put his ass on ***** street in his supposed PRIME.

yeah blame it all on the margarito fight.

that cotto that fought pac would have still demolished judah and outboxed mosley..

I agree with half of this...he beats Judah..but the Cotto that fought Pac I believe would lose to Mosley now
