pac v Cotto at 154

[slick1two]

Or a catch weight about 150-152. Since Cotto has had a little time to grow in to the weight, and Pac had also fought Margo at a higher weight than 147. Also add the fact that Cotto now works with Manny Steward, compared to that joker he had training him against Pac, would this fight be any different from the last fight between the two taking in to account these factors?

Or does Manny likely just have Cotto's number?

I do remember Cotto having a few good rounds, the Jab worked well early on. But he resorted to brawling too much with pac and paid the price. His corner gave him no help either between rounds. Not saying that Cotto wins a rematch but I don't think he could do any worse. With the Steward influence, I think he would make more of a fight of it. Would still like to see this fight.

itd still be a good fight! i like watch either guy fight.. at the weight its toss up imo. pacq still does the same.. it really depends on cotto i think.. does he learn from the first fight or does stewart try to make him into something hes not? id still say pacq wins regardless, maybe even better than the first time around.

I just can't help thinking the Cotto that boxed so well against Mosely would have matched up pretty well with pac. One thing Cotto has is a great jab and amazing timing. He was able to time pac quite well, he just got overwhelmed and fought the wrong fight. I think he lost something since the Margo fight, but the Cotto pre Margo was really finding his groove at 147. Events like his father passing away and the beating he took from Margo, the split with his uncle knocked him back.

I think he's found some form and stability now, and would really like to see him go after pac IF he comes through against Margo, I think he would deserve a rematch with Manny.

manny wont fight at 54 bc then he doesnt have an excuse to fight Sergio. cottos too slow and stationary for manny in order to beat manny...if mayorga could hit cotto easily what do you think manny will do again.

oh. and manny LOVES catchweights

Nothing will change Manny beats the brakes off Cotto. Please stop overrating Manny Steward!

yeah, i think that's why we'd never see this fight. i think this matchup would honestly end the same way the first fight went though. cotto might be a little bigger now at 154, but if mayorga could touch him up, then pac would destroy him, regardless of putting on some lbs.

No he is not, WW is where he belongs his body is at a natural limit he is not going to all of a sudden get bigger for no reason.
