    I don't know how many people actually believed that Margarito was that good of a fighter. He proved how good he was against Mosley and against Williams ... outside of those guys, his biggest win before Cotto was Kermit Cintron _

    You haven't been watching PAC fights.

    The last 10 BOXERS also thought it was an easy fight for them :rofl:D:rofl

    If that's the main reason Pac took this fight, he's made a big mistake.

    Yeah, but he's also too big, too strong, and too powerful. Looking forward to it.

    Mosley thought the same thing going into the fight...
    only to state afterwards that Cotto was a lot faster
    than he thought !!!!

    The real question is .... can Pac handle Cotto's body attack, stiff jabs, left hook and right crosses ????

    I don't think he can....and will be belly up in 7 !!!!

    Is Cotto to big for PAC or Cotto to slow for PAC?!

    "The eyes can't hit what the eyes can't see!"

    Yes, he can hit PAC at times for sure...but NOT at will. He hit Mosley coz Mosley is 5X's slower than PAC

    In other words, Cotto can't do to PAC what he did to Mosley. Get it?!

    cheers!

    Cotto is quite flud in his body movement but predictable and highly hittable for Manny. I imagine this fight to look similar to the De La Hoya wipeout, though it will likely go the distance.

    Cotto will time Pacman and drop him early in the fight. Its all about timing with Cotto. You can quote me:

    on that.

    Pac will make Cotto look innaccurate on offense and porous on defense. Cotto does not control distance well enough to really trouble Pac. His footwork is not very good and he often puts himself in compromising position. Cotto was able to fend off Mosley because he has an incredible power jab but that jab will not trouble Pacquiao because of his stance. If anything it will put Cotto even more out of position.
