Miguel Cotto is "Not Impressed By Manny Pacquiao"

[noroi]

WTF? SSM? WTF?

I had been saying that PAC is a bad matchup for Cotto since last year. Nothing new. Cotto takes too much damage. Nothing new.

Cotto can't fight his usual style and expect to easily beat Pacquiao. If Cotto can't beat Pac to the punch, Miguelito is going to have a long night to regret. It's basic simple common fighting sense we all learned since primary school fights... "he who lands first, lands twice."

Whomever believes that Cotto will be able to land his punches first agaisnt Manny, is not a REAL COTTO FAN, just a nuthugger.

So true!!! But if Cotto learns how to defend Pacs quick power punches(coz Pac has now KO power in both hands) Pac will have a long night also.... This will be a very tough fight for both fighters.

Cotto should worry about PAC's speed and power, specially with the healing process of the cut. Say wanna you wanna say about the matchup, but as long as PAC beats Cotto to the punch, Pacquiao is winning this fight. If Clottey landed his right punch accurately at will, Cotto better improve his defense as he prepares for Manny.

True, Cotto still shows lots of weakness in his defense, hopefully the strenght of his punches combined to what i call a underated hand speed (especially the jab) can control Pacman like he did Mosley. Keep in mind that Pacman lots of times jumps in to a boxer while throwing punches leaving him off balance at time.

But i agree Cotto need to work harder on his defense especially againf=st the uppercuts.

roach is obsessed with cathchweights but i think cotto will be strong enough at 145 to give manny a good fight

You are right Mellow. I want Cotto to assimilate, adapt, overcome and beat Manny Pacquiao. Miguelito no puede traer la misma musica de siempre en contra de PAC. Miguelito tiene que cambiar la tonada y traer un ritmo nuevo para ganar. Then again, you are right, let Cotto sign the fight ASAP.

That's true Mafu Cotto needs to do all that and he has.

When Cotto has fought good skills boxers (Mosley, Quintana, Judah) he has adapted and used his own boxing skills to dominate them.

When Cotto has face boxers with great hand speeds (Paulie, Mosley) he has showm speed of his own.

When he has fought KO punchers (Torres, Pinto) he has knocked them out.

When he has fought difficult defensive styles (Clottey, Urkal) he has done enough to win also.

When fighting Margarito he had the right game plan but we will never know if the plaster had something to do to continue with his gameplan for more rounds.

I guess we will have to wait until November to see if he adjust to Pacman.

But at least we can say that he is the type of boxers that can "assimilate, adapt, overcome"

It seems like it's a done deal and the fight will happen as planned. Remember, who ever wins deserves to be called the p4p king and will have the bragging rights. Also, to the fans please no bul l**** excuses. WHO EVER MAKES AN EXCUSE IS GAY...

The question now is what will happen if an immovable spot meets an unstoppable object.

LET'S GET IT ON!!!

Nice way to put it. They should use your quote as part of the promotion.

Props to you!!!!

He's trying to sell the fight. Which means ITS ON.

I think he's trying to get the fight signed.

[csko-2k1]

There we have it .It may be official already,,Cotto is going to be the victorious in this fight..just watch.....This is his payday..All he needs is more defense and footwork to get away from the Pac then use full force in Combinations...

[borikua]

I don't know why everybody is picking on Cotto, he just said that he's not impresses in the sense like he's not intimidated, he's not understimating Manny.

Exactly. **** gets lost in translation.
