Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto: Who Has More Punching Power?

 

 

Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto Odds: With the Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto November 14th mega fight right around the corner, fight experts from Vegassharps.com have decided to break down which one of these power-punchers has more dynamite in their Everlast. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto fight will be staged at a catch weight of 145 Lbs. and the bigger man physically will be the 5’7” Cotto who is “natural” welterweight. The 5’6” Pacquiao started his career at 105 Lbs. and has campaigned primarily at 130 Lbs. the last 4 years except for his last 3 fights where he has weighed 138, 142 and 134. Despite Cotto’s advantage in size the question is whether or not Cotto actually punches harder than the best boxer in the world Pacquiao?

 

Manny Pacquiao has KO’d 68% of his opponents in his 54 pro fights while Cotto has stopped 77% of his foes in his 35 fight career. Both of these numbers are legit and not artificially inflated with both of fighters having most of their fights against top-flight competition. The southpaw Pacquiao is a speed puncher that scores most of his KO’s with blinding fast punches thrown with bad intentions to the head and body. Pacquiao best punch is a searing straight left hand that he sets up best behind a double jab. Pacquiao also has a short right hook that is quick, accurate and powerful. Miguel Cotto is a heavy puncher that likes to batter opponents to the body. Cotto’s best weapon is a left hook to the ribs or liver that is delivered with tremendous leverage. Cotto has an explosive straight right thrown with textbook form that complements his left hook nicely.

 

Both of these guys beat people up but Pacquiao’s power is more a result of speed rather than pure power. When Miguel Cotto is given the opportunity to sit down on his punches and deliver them with 100% levearge he can hit about as hard as anyone. Cotto has permanently damaged or deteriorated a number of top level boxers with his power over the span of his career.

71 Days to Go before Rumble Time!

 

 

I think isa sa mga strategy na pag-aaralan ni kutz rutz dito is yung right hand ni cotto, kasi napanood ko yung mga last fight nya, bihira lang niya bitawan yung right hand nya, ginagawa lang nyang guard sa mukha sabay magdu-duck kapag bumitaw ng suntok ang kalaban nya.

 

 

Just my observation lang po!

I've read an article just now that Manny decided to train in Baguio as opposed to Freddie Roach's proposal which is in Mexico. Roach doesn't like the idea of Manny's training in the Philippines because of too much distractions. Roach also advised Team Pacquiao to get serious because Miguel Cotto is the most hardest foe he'll ever face in his career.

 

I hope Manny gets back to his senses and forget the glitter of showbiz, it's one illusion that he have to accept and face reality...and that reality is from Puerto Rico.

Pacquiao-Cotto: Manny's Weight Shows Size Difference

 

 

Manny Pacquiao's recent statement about his weight shows a clear picture of the size difference going into the fight. Miguel Cotto has already been in training in Puerto Rico for the last few weeks for their November 14 bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. There has been some concern from Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach because his fighter has not begun his training as of yet.

 

Cotto began training early because he has to work a lot harder to work off the extra weight and the fight is scheduled for a catch-weight of 145-pounds. Cotto usually walks around at 165-pounds. Pacquiao stated that his current weight is 150-pounds, or 5 pounds away from the November catch-weight. The weight shows the obvious size difference. Pacquiao is fighting close to his walking weight. Cotto is expected to put on at least 10-pounds after the weigh-in.

 

Pacquiao has already started running and plans to start camp after the media tour that begins on September 10. There is a still a question mark as to where Pacquiao will hold his camp.

 

 

145 pounds - WBO Welterweight Class -fight is scheduled for a catch-weight of 145-pounds

165 pounds - WBO Supermiddleweight Class - Cotto usually walks around at 165-pounds.

150 pounds - WBO Juniormiddleweight Class - Pacquiao stated that his current weight is 150-pounds..

155 pounds - WBO Middleweight Class - Cotto is expected to put on at least 10-pounds after the weigh-in.

Well, at the end of the day, sa pulitika pa rin siya mapupunta if it his will to serve people. Yung nga lang marami lang talagang "amoyong". Ngayon pa nga lang sangkaterba na ang nakapaligid sa kanya na mga buwaya ( i mean it figuratively)

[lokolokoboy69]

nagstart n b ang training?

[dongt]

manny hasnt even started training yet although he can always fake an injury when worse comes to worst just like floyd mayweather did. this is so far mannys best competition so he better shape up or face the probability of getting hurt. but then again, he can also do a de la hoya who just went down on his knees when hit by a bigger and stronger bernard hopkins, that is, just to avoid irrepairable damage. i just hope manny doesnt make any excuses when he gets the beating due to his lack of focus and training. i still wanna see a 100% pacman when fight time comes.

I'm still hoping for Manny to win. And if he loses, i don't think it's fair for people, or us here, to abandon him. Don't you just hate this kind of mentality. Anjan sa tabi pag nananalo and pag natalo iiwan na agad. After all the glory that he gave and he worked hard for. If he loses, then let that be a lesson for him.

nowadays pacquiao is aloser already...wala siya sa condition. mismo si michael knocs may sabi na dapat mag overtime sa training si pacquiao dahil tumataba na siya ay grabe kumain ng matataba.......cotto will knock manny in 2 rounds pag ganito sitwasyon
