Manny Pacquioa V Miguel Cotto

I'd like to start this tread by first saying that i'm the bigger fan of miguel cotto and is top world class fighter , but after watching his last fight even though he showed at lot of heart and beat a tough opponent, I really don't see how hes going to beat manny pacquioa, there is a number of reason for this.

1. cotto's stamina.
This is the thing that worrys me the most and the main reason that I favour manny, I really don't think he has the stamina to keep up with pacquioa he really looked gased in a lot parts of the clottey fight luckily for him, clottey just stalked cotto without putting to much pressure on him, but unfortunely for cotto, manny will fight at much faster pace and will not slow down or tire.

2. mannys awkward southpaw style.
this is going to be the one of hardest things for cotto to overcome because there's no fighter today that can uses the southpaw to his avantage as pacquioa can, plus his punches come from multiple angles that are very difficult to see coming.

3. mannys speed and combinations.
this is what for me makes me favour manny to win this fight this is where I think cotto can not match or find the answer to , I believe manny is going to be the boxers in this fight and that is why manny will win because of his advantages in hand and foot speed and once manny gets into his rythm and starts letting his combinations go, I don't think cotto will be able to keep up with him.

I like to finish off by saying that even though I can not see cotto winning this fight I do believe it will be a competive and exciting fight but that manny will win decisively in the end, I see the referee stepping in between rounds 9 - 11 .

I would like to say that I do not think manny is as instructable as some believe and that this is the fight that we will see if manny can a take a punch at the higher weight because we doe not know, because he has not been hit with anything damaging since he moved up.

Also this is the fight where cotto can prove he's a great fighter this is his chance and believe his last chance to become a major superstar and I think he knows it and for that reason I believe he will be in the best shape of his career and give it everything he has that will help him prove me wrong but I don't see it being enough, I hope I'm wrong.

 

I'm not saying cotto can't cause pacquioa problems because believe this is going to be a tough fight I just believe manny will be able to adjust as I don't think cotto can adjust to manny pace, speed and combinations, as I said I hope I'm wrong I just think manny all wrong for cotto.

 

thanks thats one thing I don't do is pick a fighter just because I like him more than the other, because your just fooling yourself, you know what I mean.
