Why people won't hate on Miguel Cotto for fighting Manny Pacquiao

[TitoFan]

Argument # 2: "Cotto is too slow for Pacquiao." I only got one word for THAT argument... Shane Mosley (well... two words). People conveniently forget how Cotto expertly out-jabbed and out-boxed the great Mosley. Mosley was washed-up, you say? Well... ask Margarito just how washed-up Mosley is.

I thought Cotto's handspeed looked noticeably slower against Clottey than it was against Mosley. His reflexes didn't seem to be quite the same.

That being said, I do agree that this is a very, very tough fight for Pacquiao.

You know... I noticed that too, SweetPea. I don't know whether Miguel just adjusts his fighting style (including handspeed) to suit his opponent, or whether it's something with the training or whatnot. Whatever's the case, I hope he realizes that his handspeed's going to be key for a fight against Pacquaio.
