you're in for a big surprise, man. manny ain't no zab. give zab some heart, intelligence, stamina, far better movement, and some steroids and you've got yourself manny pacquiao. don't be mistaken, manny is a ****ing beast.

If I was ******ed I might take what you just said to heart. Zab is better physically and technically than Manny in all areas. The only difference is that Zab fights top competition in all his weight classes, he doesn't target weak people for titles, so he has lost his fair share of fights. The only advantage that Manny has over Zab is his ability to follow a gameplan.

I really don't understand how you expect to be taken seriously saying **** like Manny has more power than Zab. Zab hurts WW, many WW say he is one of the harder punchers they have faced. Let that marinate.

Totally agree with you. :good If he stuck to his gameplan we would be talking about how Zab mugged Margarito instead of Mosley....**** look at how Zab dismantle Cory Spinks....

The experts will be proven wrong big time, Pacquiao has a lot of believers because of what he did to Hatton, who fought a horrible fight and De La Hoya 35-36 YO weight drained fighter, but these guys are not Miguel Cotto, in my oppinion the best and hardest hitting WW and in the wrold in his prime, and i hate to use such an old cliche but "styles make fights"!!

Yeah but Cotto is not Morales who has Jabs better, not JMM who has featherweigh-fast handspeed, combination punching and superb countering, not MAB who has one of the best left-hook to the liver. The ONLY thing i am worried about is power and how well Pac could take it.

Pacquiao

1.Box, in and out throw your combos and get the **** out of there, stay of the ropes and the corners,this guy is a real threat, don't bang with him if you don't have to, or unless he is hurt but even if you do hurt him be careful he recovers quickly.

2.You dint have to be a genius to make this point, use you uppercuts he eats them like "Buckdacious" and I smoke blunts (good one Buck), the question is do you have the range to land them without exposing yourself, either way throw them, he eats them a lot

3.The left cross will probably also land, I say probably because Mosley was landing rights them at will, same punch different side, and Zab had some sauces too, but do not hay-make like you did against Hatton that is just not going to work with this level of fighter.

4.Do not jab with him he is a superb jabber and if he can put Clottey and Gomez a natural (160lber) on their asses with a those perfect jabs he can certainly put you on your ass with them too, forget the jab unless you know that you will get there first

5.Your defense is certainly underrated, heres your chance to put it all on display, lateral movement, head movement, great foot speed, ducking and weaving like Mayweather dogging a great opponent at the negotiating table, believe me if you don't focus on your defense then you are giving him more of a chance, what i mean is that there should be a balance between your defense and offense, if you go buck wild then you are playing with fire

Cotto

1.Be very, very, patient, let the Pacman attack, counter, block and slip for the fist few minutes, get a feel for his power, see if he opens up an capitalize

2.Use that beautiful jab, keep him of balance, pressure him with your feet move forward slowly but surely, start testing his body little by little, try to get him on the ropes were you can limit that awesome movement

3.Do not go in there thinking that you are going to bully him unless you wanna end up like Hatton, box with him I honestly think you are the better boxer, if you catch him clean and hurt him, dump that left hook to the body immediately, do not head hunt just take the fight out of him first, you can KO him latter if you smash his ribs and chest

4.Watch your and his ****ing head man, a cut can seriously cost you the most important fight of your career here, fight from the outside and pick your spots on the inside, do not rush in, be ****ing patient period

5.Defense, some people think that you get hit to much, because you ****ing do sometimes. The flip side of this is that you do have a very good defense, use that skill Miguel, especially if he tags you, do not go all macho crazy trying to trade, that time will come, but don't do it until you have had a chance to beat up his body first and his punches have lost some steam

Those are my keys please post yours, or you can just pick them apart and use them to discredit my boxing knowledge, and call me a Cotto nut hugger/Pacquiao hater, you bunch of egotistical pricks, have fun:hi::bbb

that punch is certainly going to be a problem!

Cotto has to be sure he does not jump forward with the jab as he likes to do. Emmanuel Steward mentioned that in the fight with Judah, who was able to land a very solid left to the chin. Cotto is an intelligent fighter, he did make the proper adjustments shortly after to avoid that devasting left which he will also do vs Pac.

Thanks man!!

yeah i am sure we got a couple of those 20-30 yo virgins on here dude:rofl

Good points but I find it hard for Cotto to counter Pac punches.

Pac will throw his combinations and run out of Cotto's range. The best punch to counter Pac is the long straight right hand a la Juan Manuel Marquez, but Cotto's right hand is not that effective.

I say whoever first land clean shot takes this fight.

One thing for sure, it will not go beyond 10 rounds. Can't wait!

i think it will be KO too, but i would not put it past them to go 12, but going 12 favors Pacquiao
