    I'm saying this because Pac has yet to get hit flush during his run as p4p king ... he took some good shots against Marquez in the second fight but i'm not sure that he's been really hit good against a faded DLH and a face first brawler Hatton.

    I can see this being a good factor in determining the winner of this fight ... Cotto is pretty accurrate, compact, and faster than Diaz, DLH, and Hatton when it comes to throwing his combinations.

    A flush shot landed by Cotto can chang the outcome of the fight, no matter what Pac is doing before that point.

    I think Cotto's power will prove too much for PAc, and that's what will win this fight for Cotto.

    I am a huge Cotto fan, but, the problem for me is that Manny's speed might be too much for Miguel. In other words, I think Miguel will have a hard time finding a target to hit against Pacman. Pac will be on warp speed against Cotto.

    A better question is how will cotto handle pacquiaos speed and power. What is cottos reaction going to be when that first left hand lands right up the middle and he cant counter it? If pacquiao gets hurt in this fight, he has the experience, conditioning and quick feet to buy himself some time. On the other hand if cotto gets hurt, hes going to get stopped.

    Pac will try to neutralize cotto's power with movement and superior speed. I think pac will box earlier and bang late. Now if he gets caught flush .....which I'm sure he will (cotto is that good, and yes I'm a *******) pac's movement will show how he feels about it. I think he'll handle his power fine. Just another question though, how will cotto be able to handle pac's speedy and powerful punches when he is trying to move in on pac? i think cotto will have to eat 3 punches to land one.

    Cotto managed to negate Mosley and Judah's speed.

    If you ever been in a fight before you have to expect to get hit ... and there's no way that Pacquiao can avoid Cotto for 12 rounds, if Pac lands anything he can expect to get something back.

    He's not fighting David Diaz, a faded Oscar, or a face first brawler in Ricky Hatton.

    This isn't a outcome prediction, this is mainly something that happens during a fight.

    Cotto will pose to be a big problem with his power and i'm not going to count Cotto so short on the speed factor ... he's not going to lay down when he gets hit, he will fight back.

    Cotto won't find Pac often enough to make a difference.

    As for Oscar, I don't think he even landed a punch and I guarentee Cotto isn't THAT much faster than Oscar.

    Pac is not illusive and he gets hit, he has no choice but to fight back ...

    He will not avoid Cotto ... he's right there in front of you ... he may move but he can't punch on the move ... he has to be set ... there will be opportunities for Cotto to land a punch.

    You guys don't understand or never been in a fight before ... or never been in a boxing ring ... you're going to get hit ...

    Now DLH never landed a significant punch but he did connect something during that fight ... as well as Hatton as well as Diaz

    This guy and no guy is unhittable, thats too much to focus on ... unless you're Willie Pep and don't bother to throw anything back.
