TEN REASONS COTTO WILL BEAT PACQUIAO
10.) Speed- Even though this asset goes to Pacquiao, Cotto will know how use it in his benefit and counter; making it to his advantage; not the Pacman’s.
9.) Power- Pacman has tons of pop, but Cotto still has the advantage here, especially given his size advantage and body attack.
8.) Punch Selection- Cotto knows what to throw and when to throw it.
7. ) Size- No explanation needed here, Cotto is much bigger!
6.) Boxing Skills- As much as Manny has improved, he still isn’t as technically sound as the Puerto Rican.
5.) Defense- Cotto has very good and probably under rated defense. He will be able to parry Pac’s straight left hand with ease.
4.) Experience- Both men have significant ring experience, but I think Cotto’s will better suit him for this fight; mainly because of his fight against Shane Mosley.
3.) Respect- Cotto will show respect for Manny’s power instead of simply running in like an amateur a la Hatton.
2.) Will- Both men have great heart, grit and will, but Cotto has had to show it more often, and has no problem doing so.
AND THE #1 REASON WHY COTTO WILL BEAT PAC
1.) Ring IQ- Cotto simply understands the game slightly better; giving him the knowledge and know how to beat Pac.
