i think cotto will be to easy for floyd to figure out as there are many fighters out there with his style. but with manny, theres no one out there thats a south paw that has that speed and power. no one! :happythats why i want manny 2 win. i think he has a better chance of beating floyd than cotto does.
Well zab is a speedy southpaw, he just gets lazy...zab gave Floyd a lil trouble in the early rounds. Manny IMO can prolly get the job done because he's not as lazy as zab and his style is harder to figure out than cottos
They both present different challenges. Pac with his speed and varying punching angles, and Cotto with his bodywork and punching strength.
Manny. I favor Manny to beat Floyd but favor Floyd to beat Cotto. If a rematch ensued where floyd was beat by Manny the second fight would go to Floyd.
I think Cotto does, Size matters, Floyd proved that with the Marquez fight, not just size alone but when its backed up with Skills thats a tuff thing to over come...
Manny may well be the greatest southpaw of all time i can only think of maybe Hagler or Sweet Pea with any sort of shout otherwise!
I think its the other way around...many is open to counters everytime he attacks as shown by marquez...who is a better counterpuncher than marquez...pbf
Cotto is a bigger threat. Marquez already showed us the fundamentals to beating Pac and Floyd knows that. Cotto is Mayweathers size and a pretty damn good boxer with a stiff jab. Cotto for me.
I would have to say Cotto, he's not as fast but he can box and has a high boxing IQ. Cotto knows how to deal with speed like he demonstrated against Mosley and like he'll show against Pac. Manny has problems with counter punchers, we all know that, and Floyd is the best counter puncher with great timing.
I believe Cotto is the bigger threat to Floyd. Manny is fast and a southpaw, but he is susceptible to lead right hands and counter left hooks, Floyd's two main weapons. Floyd is a defensive genius and has hand speed that can match Manny's. I believe Floyd would disrupt Manny's attack with perfect counters all night long. Cotto is tactical expert in the ring just like Floyd. Both don't even bother watching videos of their opponents, but instead make proper adjustments in the ring. A battle between those two would be a battle of master tacticians.
If Manny beats Cotto in spectacular or easy fashion, then I don't see him having much trouble with Floyd. Cotto is a different story. His style is tailor-made for PBF.
