    Cotto has a good chin.
    He's never been knocked out flat cold in his career...Margarito loss was due to fatigue and submission due to Antonio's brickhands...which any other boxer would of been KO'ed easily by.
    Even when Judah rocked Cotto, Judah missed all his following punches due to Cotto's quick defense on his toes while being slighty stunned, and after that Cotto destroyed Judah for the rest of the fight.
    Even against Mosley, Cotto took some killer shots and still manage to keep his pace.


    LOL @ the dude who said Judah stunned Cotto multiple times.
    Someone needs to re-watch the fight.

    Did you read my post? Did you read the title of this thread? :patsch

    Cotto is not Hatton true. But they do share a similarity... they're both made of flesh and blood. The kind of power that Manny is packing in his left and right hand might not be enough to KO Cotto but it will be enough to hurt him bad.

    To ask if Cotto can take Manny's best shots is fine, but you have to accept that Manny's in not a big puncher abover 130 - it took him nine rounds to get Diaz out of there, he couldn't actually put Oscar down and he knocked out a guy who had been hurt in every single fight bar one against feather-fisted Malignaggi.

    Congratulations of the completely specious argument that Cotto and Hatton are flesh and blood, holy **** - so's Manny! How insightful!

    Cotto has shown much better punch resistance than Hatton has, and against much bigger punchers than Hatton ever faced. Any comparison between the two is pointless - Cotto will not offer Manny a clear shot in the way Hatton did time and time again. Cotto has a better beard on him than Hatton, so even if he does - it's going to take a lot of time to do any real damage.

    Cotto prob has the best chin Pac has ever faced. I don't believe he will hurt him with any 1 punch, but more like his 5-6 combo's that will throw him off balance.

    I fear Cotto's left eye being opened by Pac's hard hitting straight left, which leaving Cotto blind on one side, will lead to a late stoppage due to Pac exploiting that blind side over and over and over.

    In boxing anything is possible...Manny cn hurt Cotto with a punch just as Cotto can hurt Manny with one punch.

    Do u think Manny can recover as fast as Cotto can when dazed?

    i think Manny will gather his wits after a Cotto blast just as fast if not faster.

    If he receives a a strong Body shot or head shot from Cotto and then taps his gloves together in typical "didn't hurt me fashion" Cotto is in for it.

    You seem to have misunderstood me. I did not said that Cotto will be ko by Pac by a single shot, I said that he will be hurt. Notice the difference. All respect to Cotto but he's not inhuman. :roll:

    Anyway, you are seriously underestimating Pacquiao if you're saying that the same Manny that fought Diaz, Oscar and Hatton will be the same person Cotto will face on November 14. Enough time has passed for his mind and body to get used to each other, the added weight won't be as much as a detriment as it was then, I think it just made him into an even formidable opponent.

    Cotto might have better punch resistance than Hatton but that doesn't mean that he'll remain unaffected when he gets hit with Manny's best shot, he will be hurt, what's more if he takes it repeatedly. Pac has the skill to land as many shot as he needs to, to win this fight, the problem will come if Pac can't take Cotto's best shot.

    off of 1 shot? no..

    he ate Mosley's loaded up right hands all night, as well as Clottey's combo's, and Judah could only stun him with a perfectly timed bomb of a left uppercut, and of course Margarito put a beating on his head but......they were hundreds of punches he was stringing together and even then he couldn't drop him

    so i seriously doubt 1 shot will hurt Cotto, stun him? maybe....but not hurt him

    Yes, he can. The monster left (called hail mary punch by Loudmouth Mayweather) that KOd Hatton will flatten even a middleweight.

    Nonsense.

    Cotto can stop Manny with a single body shot.


    Now can Pac hurt Cotto with a single shot ?

    Probably.

    But I see the first few rounds of the fight going similar to the Pac-Oscar fight.

    I think Pac takes the first few before Cotto finds his rythym.

    (In his 'search' for this rythym, we might see a low blow. I hope not).

    In the middle rounds, I see Cotto figuring him out a little better and tagging him.

    I think the fight will be pretty even, maybe even Pac ahead, at the time of stoppage, which I think will come about as the result of Cotto's work to the body.


    But I won't be shocked if Pac's speed proves too much for Miguel and he pulls it out.


    Best guess: Cotto by late rounds stoppage.

    Well, according to Freddie, "Pac's getting used to the weight, and punching much harder than he has" could it mean that, Pac's a lot stronger now and can deliver more powerful punches than the Hatton fight? Does he have enough power to hurt and knock Cotto out, as Freddie predicts?

    We can only speculate, and we'll find the answer on the 14th.

    Good luck to both fighters. hope nothing bad happens to either one of them, 'coz it will definitely be a war.

    If he hits Cotto with what he nearly killed Hatton with.

    Yes.
