anybody whose saying that cotto is an easy fight for pacman is delusional and assuming so much.. of all pac's fight above SFW, this will be his biggest test so far besides hatton..
like i said, cotto is being very underrated here since his 1 loss. he has good footwork, speed and power!
Are we talking about the Pacquiao who was brutally koed by Rustico Torrecampo and by Singsurat Megdoen (who the hell are these guys?)? Are we? People either ignore or write off those losses claiming the they were "in the beginning of Pac's career" That is no excuse, a loss is a loss so Pac has indeed lost, lost twice actually, to non-entities. The other loss was against Morales who, though somewhat past prime was still a worthy opponent. But those other two guys? Cmon. That's on the same level as Klitschko losing to Purrity and Sanders for Pete's sake. Pac is quite beatable and, come nov.14, the Pac-Man will be facing his most dangerous foe yet. Expect both men to trade and slug it out with Pacquiao getting the worse of such exchanges. Expect Cotto to absorb and assimilate damage better than Pacquaio despite Pacquiao getting in some shots. Cotto will dance and jab if he gets hurt then resume the attack to head and body. Cotto, bloodied and swollen, but wins via TKO11-12 or UD. Look at the DLH fight. DLH was a punching bag for 8 rounds and he absorbed the damage. True, he got beaten badly but he didn't drop although he wasn't fighting back either. Pacquaio didn't have the KO power vs even a zombie DLH to drop him. Had Mosely or Cotto administered the same beating to DLH as Pac did last Dec., Golden Boy would have been taken out on a stretcher. Against the smaller Hatton, Pac's KO power was showcased beautifully, against DLH it was "rearrange your face" type power but not KO power. With Cotto you have the same size issue as Pac had vs DLH but against a grittier, more athletic fighter, technically sound all-around. How tough and griity? He weathered a storm of plaster for almost 12 rounds all the while making that fight with Margo very competitive and prolly the best fight of the year. What greater proof of heart do you need than that? Pac will not be able to KO Junito like he did Hatton. Furhtermore, Cotto is in his prime, whereas DLH had been fading hard in my eyes ever since the Felix Sturm fight, with a brief, mild revival against Mayorga. Cotto will absorb Pac's damage, Pac will not be able to absorb Cotto's shots as well and eventually Pac gets dismantled badly by Cotto's wide aresenal of punches.
The first time they talk about this fight, i was thinking that Manny will beat Cotto. Even if im a big Cotto fan. But now, i think Cotto have a real chance. Style make fight. Cotto will not make the same mistake az Hatton. The only thing that bother me is that Cotto dont have a serious trainer. That bother me a lot. Cuz i dont think his nutritionist is good enough to train him for a fight like that. Pacman is accurate, he's fast but very open. And if Cotto can take advantage of this weakness, he will win.
So the speed of Mosley at 135 was the same as his speed at 147? Dont hink so.What I see is that he is way slower while Pac is bringing his speed to heavier weights.
Whoaw their buddy. You seem to think that anyone who thinks Pac is going to win is a *******. You seem more like a ****. Honestly.
Paquiao is bringing his intensity with him but he's gotten slower, and he'll get slower at 147. His power comes from his speed and explosiveness, and that consumes a lot of energy when you weigh more, I don't think he'll look good in there against Cotto. Cotto will systematically breakdown the smaller man.
