    Im not saying this because I think Cotto will loose to Pac but I believe it will be harder for Cotto to fight a guy just under him in height compared to Quintana. I feel like Cotto has more leverage punching upward than downward.

    And I would also like to add that I thought Cotto punched Quintana illegally right before he went down .

    Dont think it really matters anyone who watches Manny the way he comes at an opponent its not even similar to how a southpaw boxer fights he's real square.

    I can see manny getting hit with a crisp hard jab every time he tries to get in. If cotto can use his SUPERB jab then it will **** Pacs rhythm up.

    Cotto's jab is not like a mayweather jab, he doesnt flick it then dance away. He steps in with it and punches through the target = long night for Pac

    I agree with u. Cotto's jab will be a key for him. He can not let Manny use his speed against him. Cotto controled Mosley all nite with his jab and aggressive punching. This will will be a key for Cotto against Manny.

    By studying Cotto's weakness, he's doing his job. Now, if you don't like what he says, that's your problem.

    He also had trouble with Ricardo Torres who I think is a southpaw. And Corley who is also a southpaw.

    So really, yes, he has trouble with southpaws.

    Cotto has destroyed every southpaw he has faced. He not only beat them, but he rearranged their faces. Not good for Pacman.

    The two fighters that gave him the most trouble were Clottey and Margocheato. So does that mean he has trouble with orthodox fighters?

    Yup but lets not forget those fights were at 140 a weight that Miguel needed to move up from for a while, making the 140 was hurting miguel in fights.
    Since moving up in weight his chin has held up much better, lets also not forget he took two Knees with Margarito he wasnt exactly dropped either time.

    Last time I checked he destroyed Judah and a better fighter in Quintana. Everyone struggles with Judahs speed early. You might as well say he has trouble with fighters with short hair.
