any analysis to why you think this? or you just wanna make a wild guess and dig this thread up if you end up being right?
The More and more I have been thinking about it the more I envision pacman outclassing Cotto, and cotto struggling to land flush on Pacman as he moves around too much. People underestimate pacman's defense.
Cotto have had great accumulating success against top class southpaws who have brilliant speed. As they move Cotto can put some of his weigh on the front foot and find that very important range. Something he rarely could do against Clottey and never did against Margarito. I think Cotto will find his range against Pacquiao and prove that speed is not everything, timing is critical. Juan Manuel Marquez did not have extremely fast hands when he fought Pacquiao, but he landed flush time and again with his left hand. We all know Cottos left hurts like a SOB.
If i was picking Cotto by K.O i would not count on it coming late i would say Cotto by K.O in the 6 round.
Its possible you're right, but Zab Judah is nothing like Pacman other than being a fast southpaw.. I just think Cotto is going to have trouble timing Pac, Cotto had trouble timing Margarito.. and as we saw vs Mosley, Margarito is not too difficult to time. If cotto is able to stalk Pacman effectively and get balanced so he can put some leverage on his punches, then I can see you being right... but I am still leaning toward that not happening.. I favor pacman 65 / 35
