Cotto: "I'm Here To Prove I'm Better Than Pacquiao"

[Gabilan]

why? Floyd would have an easy night against Cotto

Based on what precedent exactly?

[TOMA BOXIMG]

Like i said before its going to be a bad night for pacman

I dont think pacman is walking out of that fight the way he walks in. I think it was a dumb move for bob arum and freddie roach to put pacman againts a really good strong welter weight. In the end i think manny is going to get a beating but what a shame. He didnt have to he could have faced the best at 140lbs.

If you didnt know, Pac wanted the fight, he told his team and Arum after the Cotto/Clottey fight

the brain is considered to be our third eye.....the eye that sees what the other 2 can't!!.....Cotto LOOKED bad against Clottey in a fight he fought one eyed for 9 rounds!!.....Cotto LOOKED vulnerable against Marg but it is VERY likely he was being beat with illegal ****!!.....take away the illegal **** and reduce the punishment Cotto took and thats a different fight....take away that NASTY cut against Clottey......and thats a different fight IMO!!!.....for the record I picked Marg and Clottey BOTH over Cotto.....now the third eye has to be on its job to see through the illusion that Cotto is shot or on the slide......he's had a couple of rough nights with a couple of big rough dudes while handicapped!!......Cotto may not be OFFICIALLY undefeated......but technically or should I say LOGICALLY he hasn't lost......stop countin' Cotto out!!.....Manny is fast as hell but he will get hit and when he does......its a wrap!!

i agree with cotto and he will prove that he is better that manny on nov 14.i just hope there is no excuses from the pacman camp about anything and they take the loss fairly.2 great warriors and the best man will win. cotto

And Vice Versa for Cotto Camp.

Pac wouldnt of taken this fight if he didnt see something in Cotto. Remember, Pac was ringside when Cotto fought Clottey.

im quite sure there will be no excuses at all coming from the pacman camp.......coz they'll all be celebrating and doing their karaoke afterwards, you could probably join them, that is if you can sing.

[..WaRSpencE..]

you do realize that speed and angles can actually make a difference in a fight right?

and speaking of skill and defense, i guess you're right...Cotto is such a brilliant technician with an impregnable defense

How much of a difference would it make when you look at Marquez vs Pacquiao and they're pretty much the same size..than you saw Mayweather-Marquez..you figure..those angles would only do so much..because it's already hard to reach Mayweather cuz he holds his head back..when Pacquiao reaches..remember Mayweather is FAST too..he'll be taggin him easily!!..

and I never said Cotto was a brilliant technician..but he has the talent to adapt in the ring..if one things not working he resorts to the next..and it's worked in all but 1 fight..

and as for his defense..it's not the greatest..but even you can see it's better than Pacquiao's and Hattons right?..lol

i do agree with you but as a fighter and a warrior that manny is,i think he wants to test himself against the best at that weight and i think he is in for a nasty surprize.this will be the 1st time since marquez fight he is in the ring with another active elite fighter.manny will be quicker but cotto will be too much in all departments for him.
