    He will fire back or bang his gloves and ask Cotto to bring it.

    Judah's a warrior though. He was getting dropped in round 9. It took until round 11 for the ref to wave it off.

    Cotto is going to be ready for this fight and when he hits Pac flush in the face after those hard body shots Pac is going to look like this as he is going down:nut:tired:dead.

    First time I've seen Judah referred to as a warrior. He showed heart in that fight but he wasn't firing back the rounds after he was hurt. I'd say Pacquiao isn't likely to fold but either throw back in response or go out with a bang.

    First off, cotto has shown time and time again that he can recover when hurt.... and can get up when down to win fights, second, how will cotto handle pacs speed and power? the same he handled judahs and sugar shane mosleys.... with skill, timing, and his jab.

    :lol: Simple yet striaght to the point. Cotto will be a test for sure but his accuracy wont' be as big a factor in this fight due to the speed advantage that PAC enjoys.

    My point is about hitting the other guy cleanly. Sure you can land, but can cotto land with the heavy stuff or can he simply connect? If it was me i'd design my punches to connect and wear down the faster man and save that natural power and strength till later in the fight when pacquiaos legs wont be as fresh.

    Since he improved his defense. He also has good lateral movements which could confuse Cotto's offense.

    Pacman is like the Energizer. He keeps going, going, going, and going. Cotto will probably get tired first than Pac.

    Cotto should expect more of Pac's right hooks and uppercuts like these:

    you annoy me and sometimes I would like to stab you in the face with a rusty knife..but I must agree with you...the determining factor will be how Manny is going to react to Cotto's power and pressure...we know he can take a punch...obviously he wasn't tested by DLH and Hatton...so he's going to face something diffrent from Cotto. Also, Cotto proved he can take a punch at 147...Margo, Shane and Judah...speed from Shane Judah and Clottey. This fight will be determined by Manny's reaction , regardless of his past fights.

    Cotto is an elite fighter and isn't as slow as Diaz !!

    Outside of that bull**** about me being annoying and wanting to stab me_I agree with your assessment. I don't care who wins because ultimately I think politics will come into play at the end. I also think that there will be questions that have to be answered_mostly on Pacquiao's end. We already have a clue with what Cotto's about, now it lies what Pacquiao's about. He hasn't taken punches from anyone since his second fight with JMM and before then ... Erik Morales I ...

    You guys have to realize that this is boxing and that anything can happen at any given moment. Cotto wouldn't have took the fight if he didn't think he had a chance of winning the fight and the same goes for Pacquiao. Yeah you guys think you're making the smart choice by picking Pacquiao but it shouldn't be this one sided. It seems like many people are forgetting that Cotto is accomplished and just as experienced as Pacquiao ...
