Salud Says "Catch-Weight" Cotto is Easy For Pacquiao

[S A M U R A I]

If you can't see the holes in Pac's game you must be blind. It goes both ways. Pac is very beatable. He's great, no doubt, but he's CERTAINLY beatable.

Show me exactly where I went wrong in analyzing style matchups.

A walk in the park ? ! Never that . Let the fight come up and then talk all you want . I think to0 many ppl under estimated the clottey fight and not for nothing but without the cut clottey wouldn't have caught him that many times on that left eye . Pacquiao is an amazing fighter but i wouldn't at all call it a walk in the park .

Cotto wouldn't be a walk in the park at 130lbs. But this fight shouldn't go lower than 145lbs, or Cotto will lose something

It will be bad for Pacquiao as much as anyone else, his win will be questioned and tainted

Pacquiao has more than a fair chance at beating Cotto at welterweight so I'd be happiest with the fight at 147lbs

I agree. Especially about the catch-weight being 145. Anything lower would dehydrate Cotto too much and Pac would have a clear advantage.

With all the flack Floyd gets, at least he's never forced catch-weights for an advantage.

Manny will kick his ass. The weight doesn't matter. If you can't see the holes in Cotto's style that can be exploited, you must be blind.

If the weight doesn't matter then why is Roach going to attempt to dry Cotto out?
While Cotto has defensive liabilities Manny Pac has liabilities of his own that he will have to account for if he faces Cotto. It will be far from a simple "walk in the park" believe that!

I believe that Arum and Roach are looking for a "EASY" fight now. I say that because they are going to put ALLL of the disadvantages on Cotto. The sad thing is, Arum is promoting this fight so Cotto won't speak up about the demands that he will be given....

cotto is huge guy.too big and too strong.

You're joking? Cotto isn't that much bigger than Pacquiao. He is too slow. He is open right through the middle of the guard. He hates aggressive fighters with high work rate. He dips his ****ing head forwards and just stands there, FFS! Can't you see this is a terrible matchup for Cotto?

Haha, I mean kudos for making a lot of correct predictions, but with all due respect that doesn't mean too much. With the exception of about 3 of those fights they were all obvious, and the ones that weren't obvious were still 50-50.

Still props on a damn good betting record though.

I just don't see how that makes you can expert. Again, with all due respect, if you can't see Pac's shortcomings....I mean I don't know what to tell you. This fight will be VERY interesting. Cotto doesn't have a history of having too much trouble with southpaw's.

I feel like in camp though, Roach would cook up a mean uppercut like they did with the right hook against Hatton. That could give Cotto problems.

But when has Pac ever dealt with a pace controlling jab like Cotto's. Pac's got great in and out movement, it's what impresses me most about him, but Cotto's got great timing.

This is all assuming Cotto isn't drained to **** also.

This would be such an interesting fight.

[S A M U R A I]

Whatever. Pacquiao wins. Let's agree to disagree.

Hopefully it's at 145.

I got 500K on Pacquiao if anyone feels like betting, btw.
