Pacquiao Will Knock Cotto Out in Six, Says Beristain

[wizard king]

Nobody is not hittable. Pac can be hit. That is why i said accurately hit. Cotto can land bombs. Can he land it at the right place at the right time? I doubt it. You believe Cotto can. That's ok coz your a Cotto. I can't take that away from you. But I believe that Cotto has to be as fast and as accurate as JMM to win. If he can do that, he will win by KO. Cotto is much stronger than anybody pac has fought. I agree Cotto is not Hatton or DLH. That's why i also believe Cotto is the toughest pac opponent ever. Cotto has always a chance to put down pac if pac gets careless. But at this point, the way things are going on in Cotto's camp, I don't think he can train to be as fast and as accurate as JMM. Because of that, I favor pac on this fight. Don't have to be by KO

dude iam a cotto now i like that but iam not a cotto fan nor iam a rican. you dont have to be a jmm to beat pac and the same thing that happen when morales beat pac the first time is the same thing cotto is going to do to pac x3. their going to be some pretty disappointed pac fans in the future

Your right he isnt drinking the kool aid BUT his opinion is very bitter.I feel he is just throwing this out here because his 2 fighters couldnt do the job to the pacman.

Its more of a salty taste in his mouth than an actual true analysis. because a 6th round KO isnt giving Cotto that much of a chance. I feel rounds 4-10 Cotto looks the best in his fights. which is completely contrary to what Nacho believes.

Yes anything can happen in boxing BUT Miguel Cotto shouldnt be overlooked ata ll.

If De La Hoya can go 8 rounds dehyrated and shot than I dont know why a prime Cotto who is comfortable at welterweight cant hang in there 6.

Nacho didn't ask to post his opinion here. He was interviewed by primera hora. Boxingscene quoted him. Obviously so that we will debate it here in this forum. I didn't say i believe him. I just said he is entitled to his own opinion.
In fact i don't agree with him. I even agree with you that cotto shouldn't be overlooked. The main reason DLH lasted 8 rounds because Pacquiao respected DLH and DLH's power. This is also the reason why i disagree with Nacho. Pac will respect Cotto's power. It will last more than 6. It might even go full distance. But i won't be surprised if Pac KO's Cotto early the same way Cotto KO's Pac early.
What i'm telling him is don't call somebody names just because you don't agree with him. Just because he said something against your idol

Pacquiao has never faced a style that Cotto brings. You cant think just cause Marquez was the closest to beating pacquiao recently he is the only one.

Cotto brings enough speed to time Pacquiao and a great chin at 147 none of the top welters have been able to floor him. Pacquiao overshot his abilities and his time is up. Cottos Jab alone will make the difference in the fight.

The same way Cotto has never faced a style that Pacquiao brings. Some boxers have somewhat the same style as Cotto's. But nobody fight's like Pacquiao. Nobody in the last 20 years. Pacquiao don't have to floor him to win.
I agree with you though that Pacquiao overshot his abilities. He is fighting way above his natural weight. But that's where the money is. He can't stay at JW and fight a nobody.
Is Pacquiao's time is up? I don't think so. He has enough abilities to win against Cotto.
Each has its own strength and weaknesses. That's why we are arguing now. That's what make great fights.
But at the same time each is entitled to his opinion.

dude iam a cotto now i like that but iam not a cotto fan nor iam a rican. you dont have to be a jmm to beat pac and the same thing that happen when morales beat pac the first time is the same thing cotto is going to do to pac x3. their going to be some pretty disappointed pac fans in the future

You know i meant cotto fan. OK you're not a cotto fan, not a rican. maybe a morales fan or jmm fan. i don't care. the pac that fought morales is not the pac that fought jmm. the pac that fought jmm is not the pac that fought hatton.
even if cotto ko's pac in 1st round i won't be disappointed. pac took a risk, a very risky one, in fighting a much bigger(pullcounter said 10 lbs heavier on fight night) very good champion. he has no choice because that's where the money is. but its a risk worth taking.
after the fight, he will run for congress. he invested his money wisely that could secure his future to last several lifetime if he chooses to retire. there will still be megafights offer if he chooses to go on fighting.
if cotto losses to a smaller boxer. i don't know what his future will be.

This is what I've been thinking all along. If pac can avoid cotto's money punch by respecting him and just fight in and out, then this fight is over before it even started.

[MR.CHICANITO]

I totally agree with Nacho on what he thinks about Cotto. I'm not the only one that is thinking that.

speed is power in boxing and pacquiao is a dam animal right now i dont care how good miguel cotto is manny pacquaio will chew his ass up..would the pacman be struggling with demarcus corley ? dont think so

You know i meant cotto fan. OK youre not a cotto fan, you'ren not a rican. maybe youre a jmm fan or a morales fan. i don't care. the pac that fought morales is not the pac that fought jmm. the pac that fought jmm is not the pac that fought hatton. he is getting better.
if cotto KO's pac in round 1, i won't be disappointed. he took a risk, a very risky one, in fighting a bigger(pullcounter said 10 lbs heavier) very good champion. that's why his fans love him. that's why he is PPV king.
but its a risk worth taking. He has no choice but to fight at ww. that's where the money is. he will laugh all the way to the bank.

Because of that, I favor pac on this fight. Don't have to be by KO

Things seem to be going well in Cotto's camp. He lost his uncle and he won his last fight with one of the worst cuts I've ever seen in boxing and extremely early in the fight and he still looked FANTASTIC when he was the aggressor and did well boxing, at least the last two rounds and the end of the 10th. Also, for the entire broadcast Emmanuel Steward was stating exactly what Cotto needed to do from about the 2nd or 3rd round, Cotto and/or his trainer didn't see it till about 9th or 10th in that Cotto needed to make Clottey force the action and counter-punch which is the way JMM did so well against Paq. And its looking, not sure if its confirmed, that Steward may be training Cotto for this fight. I feel that would be a huge boost for Cotto as instead of having someone work on what he does well, as his last trainer seemed to do, Steward who see's all of Cotto's flaws as you can tell from his broadcast, can really polish up what Cotto has left to learn.

And whoever mentioned Corley, this was when Cotto was at 140 and still raw as a fighter we're talking like 14 or 15 fights ago. Lets see how well Paq was doing that long ago, I don't even think he was on the radar at that point. And if he was Paq was much further into his career than Cotto was at the time. That fight was exactly what my initial post was in reference to anyway, Cotto has shown flaws but that's because he is in there with people to exploit them thus making Cotto better by working on what was shown in those fights. That fight was a perfect example of over aggression and its safe to say Cotto has certainly learned from that experience. And as previously stated, that isn't the same Cotto as it is now just as the Paq that fought Morales in the first fight isn't the same fighter. Speaking of which Paq lost that fight because he too also suffered a horrific cut from a clash of heads just as Cotto did. Both of these guys have heart that few others have and makes for an awesome awesome fight.
