With Soto's lack of lateral footwork, less head movements, and weak chin... he would make a great prey for Pac.
I don't think Soto will last 6 rounds with Manny.
WOAH!! Lets not hug on to Manny too much. He's a wonderful fighter,someone whom I've defended many many times BUT he is flawed and can be beaten. To describe Soto's chin as weak is very poor judgement. He took a haymaker which would have staggered ALOT of fighters and rather than hold on,fought back.He also showed his chin in the Juarez match in which Rocky landed that super(and his ONLY good punch ) left hook and Soto took it. He has decent lateral movement and his defence was good apart from those 2 moments.
I'd favour Manny but I think Soto has the tools to beat him,it's his lapses in concentration which would be his problem.
Are you actually comparing Pac/Juarez power punching? ???
Juarez can't even carry MAB's spit bucket.
I like Soto. He's very humble and he reminds me of young Erik Morales. And we all know that EM beat Pac.
But Soto haven't been in real war yet. Pac is a pressure fighter and Soto will just be overwhelm.
You need to be reminded that both Medgoen Singsurat & Rustico Torrecampo KTFO of your PACDEAR. YES I am comparing Juarez power not velocity to Pac. Also MAB barely escaped Juarez twice. Ans not being in a war does not mean the inability to excel in one. The funniest thing are the references to Soto being humble as if he would be lesser if he were saying he would KNTFO Pac. Pac man is also humble and I like him for that. It is his followers that lack personal success, class and in some instances common sense. That is why they post as if you were talking about their mama.
Whilst your repsonse is very powerfully if not harshly worded,I think I agree, Addicted to Boxing. Hey,we ALL nuthug at one point or another because we all have our fave fighters but Pac nut huggers,dang! It's on an entirely different scale.
I REALLY like Manny,he earned my respect by beating Morales(one of my fave fighters) his fights with JMM and MAB were excellent too. But when it comes to the point where one cannot even contructively criticise a fighter for fear of offending fans,that is abso fwocking lutely ridiculous.
Juarez left hook IS comparable to Manny's left hand in terms of power. (Thats all,other than that,Rocky is a woeful fighter ). Like I said,Manny would be HOT favourite to win but I'd MOST DEFINITELY be cheering for Soto. And as AtD stated,Manny has been knocked out by lesser fighters and was rocked by Larios who moved up two weights.
BestP4P,I know what you are saying and I agree,boxing needs someone like Manny to keep the fans coming BUT it does not mean that he cannot be beaten etc.
And with regards to the JMM fight, the judge may have scored the first round wrongly but in most who saw the fights eyes, JMM won. Manny won the first and second easily and may be one or 2 other rounds. JMM boxed his ears off and rocked hi to his boots at least 2 times.
PAC FAN MY BROTHER,IF YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
