Boxing: Manny Pacquiao Vs. Miguel Cotto..... November 14th?

<< < (2/2)

Tay:
I know Pacquiao didn't have the size advantage over Hatton or De La Hoya and he dismantled those guys, but Cotto has a tough chin and it won't be easy. If anything, I can't see it being an early knockout. I think Manny takes it, but I see it being a very late-round KO or on the scorecards. Either way, I expect an entertaining brawl.

I like how Freddie Roach has trained Manny. He has evolved quickly from all that brawling he did early in his career. He has added a very nice jab that sets up his hooks perfectly and he is a underrated counter puncher. You just can't rush in a brawl Manny anymore. That was a HUGE mistake that Hatton made. And Manny is using his footspeed to side step alot more fighters coming in to mix it up and he is counter punching them especially in corners. That is what made the Marquez fights so close was his desire to mix it up, now he picks and chooses his spots much better. And he is carrying the punching power he had at featherweight up to jr welterweight. Alot of people did not think that would happen either. He has got a good if not the best trainer right now and a hell of a nutrition trainer as well. Like you said, Cotto has to attack the body and establish the jab early to set up his gameplan to have any shot in this fight.

New Rumor..
Manny Steward showing alot of interest in picking up Cotto, To be his new trainer.
Also Cotto say's he will fight in NOV regardless of the doctor's saying that 5 month's is not enough to properly heal his wound.
(Cut on eye)

144/145lbs catchweight is still the proposal, But nothing is set yet.

Interesting. Steward could help Cotto out alot.

Cotto definetely has the size advantage, as with all of Mannys fights as of late it seems lol.  I dont know if Mannys quickness might be too much for Cotto to handle. His in and out style is difficult for boxers to time, not to mention, his best weapon...the straight left is gonna do damage to Cotto. He cant defend anything up the middle.  Cotto has those vicious body shots, but i dont think he'll be able to land them like he'll want to. I think Manny will take him.
