While I agree Pac is a more dynamic fighter...Cotto is technically a better fighter. Cotto seems to have made a full physical and psychological recovery from the Margo debacle. Pac is showing wear and doesn't seem fully motivated anymore. If these two fought NOW...and Roach didn't try to weight drain Cotto...i see Miguel winning.Quote:

For the Pac fight, Cotto had practically NO trainer.... at least not one who was worth a damn. Cotto won the first couple of rounds against Pac by employing his jab, and repeatedly snapping Pac's head back. He then lost the fight, by trading much too early with Pac, and getting caught by Pac's superior hand speed. Pedro Diaz would've had a MUCH better gameplan for Cotto to follow. Not to mention the fact that Diaz has worked on Cotto's late round conditioning, and has used some unorthodox training methods with Cotto that seem to have done wonders.
The "Floyd" Cotto certainly has an inmensely better chance against Pac a second time around.
Would someone please stick a fork in this fight.
I dont give a fork.
