Pacquiao vs Cotto: Large Ring Means Manny Will Box

[start11]

Well... a heard a lot of things before hatton-pac fight... they are saying that hatton is not like de la hoya who is weight drain, Hatton is fighting in his best weight division where he is undefeated, hatton is a good body puncher etc etc... Those words are again being said repeatedly again... After hatton was defeated they even said that hatton is weight drain and now hatton is overrated...

Ring size doesn't guarantee a WIN for pac or for cotto... No matter what ring size would be the better fighter will win the fight... I think both guys have advantage over the other... The only advantage pac has i think is his speed...

Either in a big or small ring cotto has the edge over pac... I'll give 70% cotto to win and 30% for pacquiao...

By the way i am a pacfan...

this might work to Cottos advantage, I think Cotto is a better boxer than Pac Man.

even if i did agree with you there's no debating who is faster and pac would just use that to his advantage...but what was the point of this thread of course pac is going to box he's not looking to trade with cotto there arent many fighters out there that could or would want to do that

[S A M U R A I]

All I gotta say it that if pac can fight oscar at 147, why can't he fight cotto at 147.

He came in at 142 for Oscar.

He came in at 142 for Oscar.

im pretty sure he was talking about the contracted weight

No one has brought up the stamina issue.. I think its a known fact now that Cotto tires after 6-7 rounds.. Pacman doesnt get tired.. Cottos hand speed is mediocre.. Pac will be fine, he isnt gonna give Cotto time to set up. Cotto will stick him with the jab a lot.. But that wont be enough.. Pacman will win the flurry exchanges because hes so much faster. Pac will be fine

Manny is definitely getting everything he wants for this fight. It will be funny if he loses.

a bigger ring doesn't guarantee pac that he will win the fight.

Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter. It is hard to agree on anything else. Let the Ring be 20 footer or even shorter so the fight is a brawl and Cotto couldn't run. I have seen Pacman's recent fights and all ended in KOs after moving up in weight. All of his opponents have trained more than they used to do. This is telling just how great Pacman is.

[streetthrowback]

the way i see it, cotto will be coming forward while pac will be side steppin more often after he connects with a punch so that cotto has to turn left or right before he can set up again... a trick they use on dela hoya and its very effective... i think manny will win this one on points.

i can tell you one thing cotto is not de la hoya, cotto is a body puncher, can thats what pacman has trouble against, the only adv. pacman has over cotto is speed, but i think its going to be a great fight, if the mayweather vs marquez fight does not make fight of the year then this will

All I gotta say it that if pac can fight oscar at 147, why can't he fight cotto at 147. I think I know why, cuz dlh would be weight drained, and cotto would not. Wussy, I hope he doesn't turn out to be like fakeweather.

i dont think 4ft additional ring size will matter much to both fyters.
but why the hell manny's team asked for it?!?
he bitched a lot in this fyt with cotto.
i am a fan but i don't always lawyer for manny's every '*****' move.
