Lettuce B Reality; Cotto can beat pac

[sunny31]

He can definitely do better but his problem is always going to be his defence and the pace pac fights at.

To save myself typing out my response again, I'll just paste my view from the other thread in here;

==================================

I have high confidence that Cotto wins a rematch.

In the first fight Miguel was going through that stage of basically training himself and his footwork was horrible, a lot of things have been corrected since then. Miguel went in there IMO believing that he was too big for Pac and allowed himself to get into trading exchanges believing Pac was too small, that's what lost him the fight at the end of the 4th. When he was using his jab he was looking good.

I believe at this point he's more mature, composed and would have the right gameplan to win the fight. The Jab and his movement are the keys.

Cotto's downfall was Joe FKN Santiago.

I wouldn't say he'd certainly beat Pacquiao but he would make it a close fight with Diaz in his corner and has a good chance of beating Pacquiao @ 147-150.

I somewhat agree but ultimately it was Cotto's own fault for giving Santiago that role. He wasn't even close to being a suitable man for the task and probably let Cotto do as he pleased during training.

Cotto and his team thought that they could steamroll Pac and that was their ultimate undoing. He fought to Pac's strenghts and wasn't conditioned for a fight of this caliber. I think with Diaz in his corner he would fair a hell of a lot better and it will be a much closer fight than many think it will be.

I like the position Cotto is in. He only has two choices and both fights are very likely to happen. He's after the giant purses and only Floyd and Manny would give him that kind of reward. He could have split from Top Rank and fought Floyd which seemed to be very likely because I would assume Floyd sees no threat in Cotto. Now he can stick with TR and fight Pacquiao and I'm sure Cotto sees himself beating Pacquiao this time and so do I. Good for Cotto

Movement cuts Pacman's pace in half.
