    Cotto may be stronger than pac but he doesn't have any real height or reach advantage. I think Pac will be too fast for him, I rate Cotto as one of the best in the world but I can see Pac stopping him late, maybe around the 9th or 10th, after landing more than him all fight .

    That "man" was not mentally prepared that night because he got caught with cement inside his gloves. Besides, Marga is slow as ****. Cotto is slow but marga is SLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW with Cement inside his gloves :rofl:rofl:rofl

    aye Cotto is not slow ... and I think that Cotto has more power than Pac in his left hand ... but when it comes down to it, its going to be who has the better chin and who can absorb more to the body.

    I hope this fight is made at 147 and its for Cotto's --

    He stopped Mayorga, didn't look good, but let's not forget how much Mayorga weighed on the night. After, he then destroyed Margarito's granite.

    Cotto is a great fighter and write him off at your own peril.

    In that case, why don't you try comparing Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez, or better yet, anyone against a mummified corpse to get a valid comparison of the Pacquiao v DLH fight. Anyone would have looked good that night against DLH - he came in the ring at 147lbs, 2 pounds over the weign-in....he was an old, dried out mummified corpse.

    you're bound to get one pacquiao fight right one of these days....but its not against Cotto.

    Look out for Pacquiao to develop an uppercut to take out Cotto. Cotto eats uppercuts all day.

    I won't be comparing ODLH to Gomez. Gomez doesn't have any business fighting Cotto in the first place or any other elite pro boxers period. Mother****er was over hyped because of that show contender. I remember that fight very well. The commentators were making fun of Gomez so much the fight turned out to be a joke fest. He went down... on jab. The film editors made Gomez look like a slugger during the Contender shows. Cotto didn't even have to study his moves. He coulda had a orgy the night before the fight and still beat Gomez with one eye and his left hand tied behind his back and still do the same damage on Gomez.

    Oscar's style is wrong against Pacquiao. If you noticed, if he just kept jabbing, he woulda looked a little better against pacquiao but Pacquiao is just to fast for oscar who's style never really changed. He just stood there and didn't move his feet compare to Manny. Regardless of Oscar coming in @ 147 or 160, his style would still look bad against a fast southpaw.

    Are you also gonna say that Hatton is weight drained since he lost to Pacquiao and got Knocked out in the second round? Nah. Probably would say he's past his prime. LOL


    Like what I said before, I hope nobody calls Cotto Shot or weight drained when he fights Pacquiao and lose.

    I'm still trying to figure out what your seeing by saying he's not the same. I think the problem with you and other people is your underestimiting Clottey's hand speed, even beofre the cut. Clottey has quick hands and great defnse. I guess we'l just have to find out when they fight. Don't be shocked if Cotto beats him cause only thing people are gonna be saying is ITYS.

    I'm not underestimating Clottey's hand speed and over skills at all. I really scored that fight close. The difference between Clottey and Pacquiao is Defense. Clottey has one of the best defense I've seen. Pacquiao doesn't have that. Pacquiao on the other hand has better hand speed and punches in bunches and in different angles.

    Compared to Pac he WILL look slow.
