I'll keep this article short and sweet and attach video evidence to reinforce it. Yes I said it, Pacquiao's left cross will retire Miguel Cotto and it doesn't even take a psychic to guess it.
Unless Cotto switches his game up and turns into a strict counter-puncher overnight, he is simply too slow, too susceptible and too vulnerable to eat Pacquiao's "See you at the Karaoke party" punch- the same punch that laid Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Ricky Hatton, Erik Morales and many others on their backs. If anything, Cotto's big head and big chin only works against him.
I don't know about you, and I can follow this up with a more detailed and elaborate piece for those who need it, but if I was a betting man, which I am, I got my money or Manny by knock out as long as he unleashes that devastating left cross and it connects. And what are the chances of that not happening? Think of a left-handed Hellboy. When this devil of a puncher lands his left, its going to hurt like Hell, boy.
Check out his fight against Zab Judah below. In the first round, Judah rocked Cotto with a counter left hook at the 1:42 mark of the first. Cotto looked in trouble and after receiving a few good hits, tags Judah with a low blow. I can't read Freddie Roach's mind, but this is precisely the video he was referring to with his recent statements of Cotto being a dirty fighter and the possibility of Pacquiao knocking Cotto out in the first. Pacquiao is much quicker and hits a lot stronger than Cotto. And if you still can't keep up with what I'm trying to say, then imagine yourself as Cotto right now against Pacquiao... Too slow.
