Pacquiao Versus Cotto

Last Saturday, Manny Pacquiao and Manuel Cotto had to encounter each other before the big fight night and from the looks of Cotto's, I think Manny will knock him out. He was on the front row and as always, he has a big chance of winning the fight and making big bucks all at one time.

The situation is most likely to be this:

Upon witnessing Cotto's exposure to thousands of Puerto Rican boxing fans that he has, Pacquiao imminently told his promoter to make a deal with the WBO welterweight champion. It's a no brainier for Manny, Cotto is still very good, but he didn't look like the dominant force he was before the Margarito fight, compare to Mosley, Cotto is an easy target for Manny. It's no brainer for Manny, Cotto is still good enough to fight with but he doesn't like he has a dominant force before the Margarito fight, compare to Mosley, he is just another easy target for Manny.

After just witnessing a Cotto's split decision over Clottey witch he didn't look to impressive doing it. Can we honestly say the Cotto Show is going to really last long?

Here are the alternatives, Cotto can take a fight with Manny Pacquiao which will pay him a real substantial amount of money, and potentially fall back the fight at the same time, or he can move on to another opponent and try to rebuild himself and maybe retire with dignity. Because let's face it, he's not the same fighter.

I think that people are underrating Cotto way too much as to say that he will be ruined. I believe that Dela Hoya was very, very slow. Still, it took Manny eight rounds to finally beat him. Sure Cotto isn't prominent enough but it's not easy to fight an opponent like Clottey; his defense is one of the best, not leaving out his authoritative right hand. Cotto has much better footwork that Dela Hoya. Therefore, he will not just stand there and get punished. He will use his jab, footwork and head movement to at least, dodge some of Pacquiao's bombs. I think that this will be a tough fight for both and really it can go either way. While Cotto has some trouble with southpaws, Manny has never been punished to the body which Cotto loves to do- those left hooks to the body. I think in the end it will be a matter of who has the best conditioning which might be Manny Pacquiao. Both certainly have skills and heart to finish the job. Let's just wait and see what happens with the negotiations.Last Saturday, Manny Pacquiao and Manuel Cotto had to encounter each other before the big fight night and from the looks of Cotto's, I think Manny will knock him out.
