Miguel Cotto ending Pacmans career...

i love how you just stuck to the facts.

 

Cotto is getting his ass knocked the **** out in this fight. I'm looking foward to the all the excuses that come rolling out afterwards.

 

Cotto tko 5-9, STOP THE FIGHT!!:toney

 

You could sell sand to the egyptians..

:nut

 

lOTS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE ALT AFTER NOVEMBER FIGHT.

 

Even if Pacquiao gets KTFO he's still got a few lucrative paydays ahead, I don't see Cotto retiring him unless it's a Benn-McClellan or Darchinyan-Burgos type of situation.

Manny is scheduled to fight again in March. :deal

 

Cotto will represent the most powerful puncher Pacquaio has ever faced, one of the fastest with handspeed, one of the most complete in terms of punching arsenal and someone who represents pretty good defense until he tires, then he's a wee bit open.

Cotto arguably has the best resume at 147 of any active fighter, the Margarito loss can be questioned due to the handwrap saga, but take a look at who he has faced there - Clottey, Mosley, Margarito, Judah and Quintana.

 

Or sell refrigerators to Eskimos...

:rofl:rofl

 

While I don't neccessarily agree with the thread starter, I am confused with the large number of posters who actually believe Manny is going to KO Cotto. Manny has yet to hurt a WW fighter much less KO one. Couple that with the fact that Cotto, aside from the knees he took against Margo, has only been even knocked down ONE time. Cotto has only had trouble with larger fighters and even the larger fighters he's faced werent able to floor him. The fact that many of you feel Pac KO Hatton equates to Pac KO Cotto is dumbfounding. Pac is a really good, naturally talented fighter, who presents a lot of problems for cotto with his speed and movement, but to objectively look at this fight and conclude that there is a high possibility of it ending with a Pac KO is ridiculous.

 

Cotto could win this fight in a big way if he fights smart. Uses his jab, goes to the body roughs Pac up. Cotto is a very live dog in this fight.

 

I don't even think he needs to fight smart to win. I think his power will stun Pacquaio early, his movement in the early should keep him away from the power shots Pacquaio usually lands early and it will be a race to the 6th round.

If he tires, like he did in other fights, he might be in trouble against Pacquaio who is relentlessly conditioned.

But prior to that? I think he'll avoid the major shots Pacquaio throws, land to the body and land to the jaw of Pacquaio at will for the first few rounds and that could be enough to finish the job.

 

I found this part funny. Not saying youre wrong tho.

I can see a lot of potential outcomes, but I lean towards Cotto winning it.

 

I agree but Cotto has the tendency to fight dumb when pressured he abandons his gameplan he retreats to the ropes and moves away instead of clinching to buy time or break up his opponents rhythm.
