    You're fooling yourself if you believe Pac does'nt have the capabilities to take Cotto out of his comfort zone.
    ....just the very notion that Pac is much faster and quicker to get off than Cotto is going to have him on edge defensively, and that certainly is taking a fighter out of his comfort zone and forcing him to expend energy both on the physical as well as on the mental side of it.

    You dont have to fight on the backfoot to condider it boxing.

    Marquez was also aggressive in both his fights with Pac.......but when you box, you control that aggression which is what Morales did until it got late in the fight and he began to lose some steam on his shots.....paving the way for Pac to walk through some Morales' shots that earlier had more sting on them and Pac would'nt have walked through them, and win some of those late rounds and make it closer than it should have been had Morales not faded physically.

    Standing next to each other, I don't think Cotto looks much taller. Cotto is 5'7" and Pac is 5'6 1/2". He does have a bigger frame, but has always been considered a short WW.

    We were talking about the 1st fight not the second. Go see round 12 of the 1st fight and talk about Morales and GUSTO. That emoticon does nothing for you post.

    the issue is PACMAN being awkward moving backward. That second fight obviously proved you're wrong about his weakness moving backward. Regarding GUSTO, I guess it's self explanatory, unless you still want me to spell it to you. You're emphasizing more about the emoticon or whatever you call it rather than the point in fact. :hat:hat:hat

    the way Cotto has been talking lately, about him going to war with pac and its going to be a battle and all that.... is not the signs i wanted to see. Youve all made great points and i am starting to get a bit more nervous then i was lol....
