    Default Re: Is Miguel Cotto too BIG for Pacquiao?

    How can you compare their footwork? Manny has faster footwork and Cotto has better balance, but fighting off balance is part of why Pacquiao gets so much power because he puts everything into his left hand.

    Cotto is another one of my favorite fighters, but look how easily people ahve landed on him, you can't get away with that against Manny because he won't be landing back at a higher enough rate. Cotto isn't slow with his hands by any means, but his footspeed is really slow because he is always set to punch and he just seems to tight in the bottom half of his body. Cotto has great timing, but you can't argue its better than Manny's, only Marquez has outtimed Manny, and Marquez is much faster and a better pure boxer than Cotto, maybe easier to hit cleanly for conventional fighters, but much faster to the mark than even Cotto is. Also he didn't really outtime Pacquiao that much in their last fight. Cotto showed great timing against Mosley, but he also showed that if a guy with Judah like speed(which pacquiao has) actually wants to throw punches that they can land, and hurt him, but unlike Judah, Manny stops fighters he hurts them(except Marquez).
