    yes cotto is the most dangerous. First of all cotto does have a right hand maybe you should review the cotto vs abdullaev fight. And what makes you think he needs to keep pacquiao at a distance. Almost everyone expects cotto to walk pacquiao down with his jab - right and hook to the body. Obvious you really dont understand these two fighters styles.

    Hatton wasn't shot. That word gets overused on here.

    I believe that Cotto doesn't have the extension on his punches nor the ability to close the gap quckly enough to consistantly land clean on Pacquiao.

    Id say JMM skillset wise. But Cotto is no walkover. Come Nov 14 alot of heads will be turned.

    Before the ODLH fight, a lot of people said he was the most dangerous fighter Pac has ever faced. Before the Hatton fight, they said the same thing. After those two fights, people were saying they were not the most dangerous because Pac beat them convincingly. If Cotto beats Pac convincingly, then yes, he's the most dangerous fighter he ever faced. Of course, I'm not counting Pacs' losses to those other 3 fighters a long time ago.

    I say hell yes, Cotto is the most dangerous opponent for Pac of the elites he's faced. This is no Diaz, Hoya, or Hatton here. This is one of the best skilled, prime welterweights around.

    THERE WILL BE BLOOD:deal

    I get the impression that Cotto is highly pissed off. It seems like these guys have completely different motives for ths fight. Pac is trying to poach a title off a guy he thinks is on the slide, and make a butt load of money. Cotto is ready to tell the entire boxing world "**** You! Watch This," and then beat 7 shades of **** out of the P4P #1. So, yes, under these circumstances, I think Cotto is the most dangerous guy Pac has faced.

    I don't think he is even close to being the most dangerous.

    Marquez, Morales and Barrera would all top him at the respective times Pac fought them.

    Again, I see little more than a repeat of Pac v Hatton - with a few more rounds.

    Cotto of 2009 is a long way from the Cotto of 18-36 months ago.

    SO TRUE. Pac fans look to the clottey fight to gauge how much Cotto has left. No one looks great against Clottey. Cotto only looked slow because he had to take his time and pick his punches to get through that tight defense. If Cotto is not more skilled than Morales, MAB, JMM, he is = to them. So = in skill, more power, bigger and stronger that makes him far more dangerous in my book.:hi:
