Based on what I seen of Cotto throughout his career, there is no way that he's able to handle a fighter like Pacquiao. I don't think Pacquiao would knock Cotto out and I don't think he would dominate him either. Its just a point that Pacquiao is a whirl wind for the whole fight and doesn't take breaks. If those two ever hooked up, I think Pacquiao would win a decision. Not to say that I won't change my mind because Cotto is starting to gain my respect as a "fighter" and I know that he won't back down from anyone and would rather go out on his shield and get knocked out that to get a "W" by doing something out of character. I can see both fighters having their moments - but I see Pacquiao taking advantage of Cotto attempting to box.
Pac speed will be the key in this fight. When clottey threw combination he landed pretty good shots on cotto's face. I think pac will land more and can hurt cotto.
Cotto gets hit too much. I think Manny especially being fast, powerful and a southpaw will land well on him. Ive got Pac over Cotto as well.
Cotto has a shaking chin? WTF????? Was he down last night? NO. The only one on the canvas was the "Iron-chinned" Clottey. Cotto has never been down on a punch at welterweight. Even in the Margo fight he took the knee by himself. So quit talking about his "bad chin" . His chin has proved to be very solid at 147.
funny you try to fight others bias with your own bias. I dont think Cottos chin is bad either but you are just as guilty of bias here suggesting that Clottey showed a bad chin when he had an off balance flash knockdown and didnt appear hurt whatsoever.
if Pac-man waz 2 fight Cotto,there will def be a Knockout!!!!!! BUT IT WILL BE PACQUIAO THAT GETS KNOCKED OUT
What does that prove? Clottey was never a 1 punch knockout puncher anyway. The only decent guy he K.Oed was Corrales who was fighting below his weight class. Judah wasn't a one punch K.O puncher either and he was close to putting Cotto down in the first round(until Cotto lowblowed him of course).
nah pac wont be stupid and stay on the ropes. He will move around and fight cotto in the center of the ring and beat him with his speed.
Just curious, what do people think of De La Hoya's chin, generally, at welter or little middle and peak vs 35 years old.. Just for comparisons sake, as it was Pacman's sole bout over 140..
His chin was somewhere between very good and great at all the weights he fought at, with the possible exception of 160, but who knows, he didn't stick around there for long. And he was a shadow of his former self when he fought Paquaio.
