Key Question: Can Manny Pacquiao Handle Miguel Cotto's Power?

I think Pacquiao handles the power...However, for those who say Cotto doesn't have power, he might not have 1 KO punch power like JuanMa but look at Cotto's last fights - Mosley, Margarito, Clottey...When Cotto fought these men, no one had ever even phased them. Meanwhile, Pacquiao hasn't done anything at WW to prove he can take a punch at that weight...Think about it.

 

Pac has fight only once at WW and he did not let oscar hit him to find out if he can take a WW punch.

 

So now we are comparing the DLH that fought Pacquiao to the Cotto who lasted 11 rounds against Margarito, the Cotto that outboxed and took some of Mosley's best shots, and the Cotto that went through hell to get by Clottey? Don't get me wrong, I like Pacquiao but to say Pacquiao will steamroll over Cotto is absurd and vice versa...I just won't bet on Manny because like I said, he hasn't fought at WW meanwhile Cotto has banged with the best of em at WW...

 

Roach is gonna have to come up with something to neutralize Cotto's jab. Cotto is pretty accurate with it and has one of the more powerful jabs in the division. He uses it effectively to begin his offense so that's got to be the biggest worry for Pac. Although the left hook, which is Cotto's best punch, will certainly be a concern, Pac's movement I think would somewhat negate it. If Cotto is however to land it flush, it could very well end the fight.

 

Who says comparing, I'm saying pac has fought at WW once and he was not hit that hard and he was not fool enough to let a weletrweight fighter hit him hard just to find out. That's all i'm saying haha.

 

:good

 

With PAc adding weight therefore he adds muscle too...therefore he can handle Cotto's power thats how i see it....

 

Yeah right...lol

 

This is the jab that KDed josh at the end of the first round.

So now everyone who gets hit is a fool?

 

If you let someone hit you just to find then you are.

 

He also scored a kd against Gomez with a jab, bloodied Jennings nose with a jab, and was extremely effective with it against Mosley.

 

somebody here is that kind of fool..:rofl

 

That's not what I meant though...Obviously Pacquiao is not gonna do what Mayorga did to Trinidad :nut...but Pacquiao will get hit. He aint Clottey and even still, Cotto managed to get some shots in on Clottey, not to mention the jab that knocked him down (nice GIF by the way :good)

 

I think winky tried that against tito as well. I know pac will get hit like he was hit by hoya but whether it's a money punch or not, we will soon find out hopefully in november 14.
