Cotto is good but not great. If he were great he would have beaten Margarito and stopped Shane. Pac is better and he will beat Cotto in mid rounds. Pac has been given guys he is just better than. When he faces Floyd that will prove more.
This is the same Pac that lost to Erik Morales, had to go 9 rounds with the punching bag that is David Diaz, had another punching bag named Oscar De la Hoya's ghost (that took 7/8 effing rounds) and then crucified a fighter in Ricky Hatton with the worst possible defense in a fight since Nate Campbell fought Robie Peden I. I got Cotto inside the distance at 145 or above, Manny is just too small and not too many agressive technical flaws that will be exploided by the stronger Cotto. I'll bet my left testicle on it.
All Cotto has to do is fight like his old self and he would take Pac out. Be relentless, work behind the jab, punish Pac's body and impose his size on him. If Cotto starts backing up and trying to outbox Pac, he would likely lose.
Nacho knows pac is a beast. He trained the 2nd best fighter in the world and still loss to the pacman. He then trained oscar delahoya who is a jr middleweight and still his fighter loss to pacman. Nacho knows pac is a beast:good
Seriously, im a big Cotto fan. But we need to face reality. Cotto will loose that fight. Pacquiao style is bad for Cotto. Cotto cant fight back, he try to run and stick to the rope. BAD BAD HABIT. And if you watch his early pro fight, he got alway this bad habit. But Cotto got mad determination, you need to give him props for that. A real warrior.
HEY! wait!...............some people believe PAC is tailor made for Valero So if PAC beats Cotto In some sick mind, some fans think this way VALERO>PAC,COTTO,JMM,MAB,MORALES,HATTON and ODLH!!!! funny thing indeed! After beating a class B fighter they believe Valero is > PAC :rofl:rofl
It will be an entertaining exciting great fight that could also possibly end early... maybe within 6 rounds... .
