i say manny disposes of cotto in 7 or less......and i could see cotto down early......pacquiao has this "shock and awe" out of his opponents early on.....happened to marquez and hatton....i see cotto going down early.....and then IF he recovers is in survival mode the rest of the night, and get KO'D in the mid-rounds......
Definitely either man has the power to KO each other. It just a matter of executing the right game plan for any of them to prevent being KOed and emerge victorious.
How can anyone not believe Hatton couldn't be hurt by PACMAN come on Hatton was hurt by Money may who didn't even plant his feet in a power position to knock him out and may did. Regardless of the weight Hatton is too easy to hit anyways when he lunges in he practically helps his opponents hit him. Anyways, to the people who predict pac will knock cotto out. Does PAC hit harder than Mosley, Margo or even clottey who was hitting cotto with some clean uppercuts he didnt see coming? Thats a bold prediction giving PACMAN such credit to his power.
keep in mind one of the sparring partners that spars with both margarito and pacquiao....said pac hits harder....and that was when pac was at 130/135.....yes he hits harder then mosley..........and did you see the punch that put hatton out cold?.......its very easy to say cotto gets sparked out by manny....but i'm saying 7 or less
He was wobbled by Corley, Margarito, and Torres. THATS ALL! I think people figure Cotto gets hurt from certain fighters because of the way his head snaps back. Many fighters do the same and for some reason have "solid chins." But because Cotto has done the chicken dance in his weight-drained days at 140. "HE WAS ROCKED" by fighters he wasn't rocked by. Wake up man. People keep talking about his days at 140. Should we bring up Pacquiao's shitty days against Torrecampo. And getting KD by Hussein? :huh Clearly both fighters have better chins as they moved up. Cotto has only been hurt by Margarito thus far @ WW. Fighting off the backfoot doesnt indicate that Cotto's hurt (although its been a popular myth nowadays). Pac doesnt know how to fight going backwards. Cotto can fight going forward AND backward. People forget this.
i think it's too soon to tell, but nacho also said he expects pac to ko cotto in 6 so saying pac will ko cotto in 5 in not unfounded
cotto is a smart fighter and sooner or later he is coing to trap you where you going to have nowhere to run to
I can't be a hypocrite... I thought Hatton would beat Pacquiao based off his natural advantages. I was proved badly wrong, but to me Cotto has even more physical advantages, and is also a better boxer than Hatton is, so I have to fancy him. However, I don't know if he'll win cos the Hatton fight kinda made me think twice about Manny, but Cotto defintley has the tools. I'm not sure about this one yet tbh. SnR
