He won't try to fight him like a small man. He will respect Pac's speed and power more and throw more body shots and jabs. yea i said it.
i would say that cotto has a much better chance now. i am saying that since the margo fight, pac was slipping and was not as accurate as he was during the cotto fight which imo is his peak. meanwhile cotto, have learned alot after the margarito and the pacquiao loss.
No ****ing way. Cotto had the major advantage of going into a fight knowing that an eye is all but waiting to be cut and swollen up. It was a gift, really. Pac slices and dices Cotto up again.
Precision punching. When Pacquiao let his hands go in the Cotto fight, he landed at will. He tested Cotto in the early rounds and then unleashed a beating. More competitive than the first yes, win dont think so.
Minnie May missed quite a few punches too when he "opened" up against Ortiz. When Minnie May tried to close out De La Hoya in round 12, he got rocked by a right hand and missed all of his shots.
I dont know if he could beat Pac man and I dont think they make the fight anyway. But it is a fight I'd like to see just to determine how much he has (or hasn't) improved.
Cotto will do better in the rematch he did respect Margaritos power no matter what he says. He did try to tie up Margo and focused on the body more, but he still gets lured into brawls thats where Pacman takes advantage of his speed. Miguel also opens up on his powershots more than Marquez does and lacks the big right hand too. Like Barrera and Oscar Mannys style is just bad for Cotto.
