Fight prediction pacman vs cotto

My scenario. Pac will start the fight a little cautious, testing the speed of Miguel, and see if he can handle the power.

Than he`ll gradually let his combos do the work, going in and out Cottos tight defense.
He won`t fight like he did with Marquez. He will fight like he did with Oscar. In with the quick right jab, quickly opening a bit Cotto`s defense for the immediately following straight left, and immediately after this, running out the fight and from the counter punches Cotto would want to land.

Imo Cotto would be frustrated by the speed of the "In and Out" footwork of Pacquiao, by the constant movement of him in the ring, and the head movement.

As I saw again his fight with Clottey, Cotto is also a bit over rated at the moment. He wasn`t able to throw as much as we expected against an almost static, one dimensional defensive Clottey, that doesn`t have the best head movement in the sport. He often backed off when he had Clottey in the corner.

People think that size will make the difference, because of the Mayweather - Marquez fight. It`s not the same thing here. We had Pac at 145 against De La Hoya in tremendous shape. Manny can put quality weight on, without losing speed and stamina. Manny didn`t turn much more smaller than Oscar, and Oscar is clearly bigger than Cotto.

Manny of us also saw Cotto as not the same fighter in his last 2 bouts, but seems like some of you want to forget that, and maybe hope that the Cotto that fought Mosley would return. I don`t believe that.

So, if you ask me, I think it will be a boring, one sided match. Manny scoring by 2 punch combos, running out quick and comming back when Cotto would not expect. I believe the match will end due Cotto injuries, before round 11.

Also, don`t forget, I`m absolutely sure, if Joshua Clottey would`ve got the decision against Cotto, most of the people woul`ve said Cotto`s career is done, or at least, he ain`t the same fighter.. But people try to hide behind that gift decision Cotto was granted, and over rate him, as they shouldn`t.
