These are just delousional Cotto fans that are trying to convince themselves that he can play Pacquiao's game.
How can you say he has better defense? #1- Niether one of them are defensive wizards. #2- Cotto blocks punches, Pac makes you miss. #3- Pac has better head movement. #4- Pac has faster feet. #5- Cotto was caught flush several times by slow ass Margarito. #6- The last time Cotto fought a southpaw(Judah) Cotto may have won, but it's not like Judah couldn't find him. So what the hell are you talking about?
Margarito was the top WW at the time. Margo was the same fighter that almost beat Paul Williams and KOed Cotto and Cintron, remember? One fight doesn't make someone shot, especially a fight in which you win by KO. Style make fights, and while I agree a prime Mosely beat Cotto, it's not by blowout.
Good point but you forgot to mention one thing Mosley or Clottey (with Cotto's eye bleeding from round 3 on) could not put him down! I have respect for what pac has done throughout his career but please let's get real. Besides the catch weight if Manny would have included in the contract plaster for his gloves he he might stand a chance. He could not even KO a weight drained DLH who was also well pasted his prime!
Oh, Shane had the speed alright, but it was only handspeed. Pac has that and then some. Footspeed my friend. Cotto will be unable to deal with it. This fight will be a walk in the park. 6 rounds tops before Pac gets him out of there.
You should know Oscar had one of the best chins. But on the flipside, I guess if you didn't notice had that fight gone a round or 2 longer Manny would have stopped him. That's why Oscar quit in the corner, he and his corner knew the stoppage was coming. Kind of like Cotto vs Gomez. It was the same thing. For you to say Pac would need plaster in his gloves to stand a chance is absurd. YOU get real.
Time to change that Avy BigReg!!! I guess my fantasy world is rooted in reality. anyway don't mean to rub it in but i told you so........
Let's see, before the fights... Paulie said Cotto was slow Quintana said Cotto was slow Judah said Cotto was slow Mosley said Cotto was slow After the fight, they all said "He's a lot faster than I thought he would be" When will the next "fast" opponent learn their lesson?
are you ready to bet on Cotto yet?? Yankees are the 2009 World Series Champs!!! Cotto up next week, and then i can carry my emotional high well into next year :deal Cotto by KO middle rounds!
People never man up when it comes to their predictions around here, I expect at least a congratutalions fellas, for those who call me a crazy nuthugger when i am just calling it like I see it:-( and you are clearly worng :hi::bbb:bart
