Between Manny Pac and Miguel Cotto, Who is the More Exciting Fighter?

[acb]

To me its a no brainer, these two fighters bring more action than any other fighters in boxing.

Its hard to say which one brings more excitement, as of now I would go with Manny, but in two to three years Miguel Cotto will be the most entertaining fighter in boxing.

[Dostoevsky]

Manny Pac.

Its not even fucking debatable.

[acb]

Manny Pac.

Sure it is. Cotto keeps racking up wins by KO, dislocating peoples shoulders, breaking their jaw bones, making them quit, one by one... he is an exciting fighter.

I also say Manny takes it at this point, for the level of competition he has taken and destroyed in past years, although I think he needs to now do this against the younger fighters in his division.

[Relentless]

cotto

[Marnoff]

I'm not a fan of most raw bangers like Pacquaio, but I really respect and enjoy what Cotto does. He goes to the body, hurts the guy, and makes him quit - either with broken body or broken spirit.

[fernando4cv3]

Let's put it this way. Pacquaio does what Cotto does (and arguably better) and yet Pacquaio does it to HOF'er and ATG's whereas Cotto does it to garbage bin and puerto rican no names and still manages to get rocked and almost KO'd.

Nuff said.

zab judah is a no namer? cotto is still young. You need to give him time before he starts fightin all the top guys. no one starts off fightin top dogs

[Relentless]

Let's put it this way. Pacquaio does what Cotto does (and arguably better) and yet Pacquaio does it to HOF'er and ATG's whereas Cotto does it to garbage bin and puerto rican no names and still manages to get rocked and almost KO'd.

Nuff said.

i remember you picking judah to win against cotto.

[Relentless]

no i remember right, i said 'tell everyone how cotto will destroy judah' and you said something like 'thats not going to happen judah is the one thats going to do the destroying.'

[Relentless]

:rofl:rofl:rofl

He's 27 and has 30 fights. Don't try to make him out to be like he's a beginner. There's PLENTY of fighters I can name right now that have fought for and won world titles at or before their 20th professional fight, Mayweather being one of them. When is Cotto gonna fight his first name, when he's 50-0 like Hatton after years of fighting tomato cans? :rofl

Oh sorry, I forgot according to you Zab Judah is equal to MAB, Morales, Marquez, et al.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

26

[Relentless]

look at cottos opponents records.

[Marnoff]

Let's put it this way. Pacquaio does what Cotto does (and arguably better) and yet Pacquaio does it to HOF'er and ATG's whereas Cotto does it to garbage bin and puerto rican no names and still manages to get rocked and almost KO'd.

Nuff said.

Pacquaio is a southpaw headhunter... Cotto is an orthodox body-puncher. Pacquaio's bread and butter is a straight left to the face... Cotto's bread and butter is more of a looping shot to the body. Pacquaio squeezed a draw out of a fight in which he knocked a man down three times in the first round... Cotto is undefeated.

Yes, very similar.

Edit: They do both wear boxing gloves.

[Relentless]

what you got against cotto?

he fuck your mother?

[Marnoff]

Just curious why you said "very similar" as if I called them similar.

You said Pacquaio does what Cotto does.... Figure it out.

[Relentless]

No he fucked yours and I didn't like that since technically that means not only was she cheating on me but now I'm not even sure whose son you are anymore. :-(

ooooh so original:hey

[Relentless]

I know, almost as original as your original crack. :patsch

sorry, i dont understand Swahili

[dangerousity]

Pacman for me, Cotto is no.2 though. Pac carries more power and is explosive and fast. Watching Cotto, hes more technical but its a slow process. With Pac his man can fall anytime if that left lands correctly and his explosiveness, energy just makes it a hell of a fight. Watching him get pissed off at the 6th round against Solis for example and he just lays into Solis not giving a crap about incoming shots, throwing none stop power punches.

[brooklyn1550]

Pacman...it's like watching a person go 200 miles per hour

[Toopretty]

Pac is not a one punch KO guy. He may get some knockdowns. But dont put guys lights out with one punch. He is a hard puncher just like cotto. Both have power in both hands. Styles are very different, but both have been down and hurt in fights. Hey thats whey they are exciting. Cotto getting hurt, he is like a wounded animal. Dangerous. lol. PAC to. Remember. Pac should be fighting at 135 now. He comes in on fight night at welterweight. But Pac is the most exciting and Cotto #2.:yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep :yep

[pipe wrenched]

I really like to watch Cotto do his thing. Pac is also ALWAYS a good show.
I don't know, but if they were both on at the same time and i had to choose I would likely be watching Cotto. (depending on their opponents too).

:bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb :hat

[robert ungurean]

I like Cotto
Dont like watching southpaws all that much.

[Marnoff]

Please lets not go start a Cotto vs. PAC

These two are the saviors of boxing and so far everyone has enough respect from both of their fans to not start a thread pitting these two against one another with one of these who beat who better BS!.

Theres nothing there to start a controversy, lets leave it at that.. they are both great fighters and classy as well.

If you don't want to debate, why are you on a forum? Secondly, if you think boxing hinges on two fighters, you can't know much.

[PacDbest]

I think Pac right now has no competition in the most exciting category. Pac is running for the most exciting fighters of all time. He's in the league of SRL, Hearns & Tyson. One thing you can say to all these guys are, "They simply are amazing." Cotto is my top 3 favorites but he hasn't reach the amazing category yet.

[Marnoff]

Just curious why you said "very similar" as if I called them similar.

No reply to my response? Take a walk.

[Oscar de la Roa]

pacman cause he is quick and goes forward every fight

[hellblazer]

Manny Pacquiao
Miguel Cotto

[psychopath]

Similarity? They both destroy opponents.

Difference? Style!:yep

Cotto stays there and exchange bombs until the opponent surrenders.

Pac? Dances, moves in and out and when he sees the opponent hurt? He'll attack with a hail of punhes coming from all directions.

Now which is more exciting? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[knockout]

Its has to be Floyd Mayweather,Cory Spinks,Jermine Tayor:roll: :verysad "YEAH RIGHT" but for realz its Pac and Cotto.:smoke

[knockout]

Sup Pyscho! Happy fourth:smoke :hi:

[psychopath]

Sup Pyscho! Happy fourth:smoke :hi:

Happy fourth? :roll:

What's up? :D

[knockout]

four of july you dont celabrate it? besides i think pac has a more exciting style.

[psychopath]

four of july you dont celabrate it? besides i think pac has a more exciting style.

Oh okay, same to you. :good DAMN, I was thinking of something else. :D

We're having barbecue right now with the whole family. So I'll logged out pretty soon. :hi:

[knockout]

Laterz

[PH|LLA]

Pacquiao is better than Cotto at everything exept body punching

[Bangis]

gotta be winky.... lol
seriously i think PAC takes it!

[Marnoff]

Never reply to my post ever again, take this reply as a priveledge that I even responded to you.. nitwit:patsch

You're on here trying to stop a debate....

[Marnoff]

gotta be winky.... lol
seriously i think PAC takes it!

Winky is becoming a more fan friendly fighter. He has been for a while now.

[Bangis]

Winky is becoming a more fan friendly fighter. He has been for a while now.

yeah i think beating good fighters makes you fan friendly no matter what your style is.... i really admire his excellent defense ...

[theunderdog]

the dude guts a headbutt then a cut in his eye then he goes freaking ballistic and ko's his opponent. now that's exciting. but cotto's not that far from pac. i think pac is more exciting because he runs purely on emotion while cotto is a poker faced killer

[Pimp C]

I find Cotto more exciting. The way he looks at his opponents with that ice cold stare with no emotion, his methodical pace in the ring. The guy is a cold blooded killer in the ring who enjoys hurting people....he's pure evil.

[myk]

I enjoy watching them both but a Pac fight always keep me at the edge of my seat

[PATSYS]

Cotto is exciting, but Pac brings a hell lot more excitement.

[theunderdog]

Well from everything I've seen and heard from expert trainers and analysts, and from everything I've observed myself, the ages from 26 to 29 are considerd to be a pro fighter's prime. So most fighters really don't start to decline till about the age of 30. So at 27 Cotto is dead in the middle of his prime.

i think he's just about to peak. therfore near the middle of his prime

[MSTR]

Cotto for me. I love the way he stalks his opponents and closes the distance. that said Pac is a very exciting fighter also.

[DanePugilist]

In terms of excitement - Pacman by far, but Cotto has some likable assets as well.

[MSTR]

Definitely, it is Manny Pacquiao.

Its like comparing Wade and Iverson in their physical prime. I mean Wade does his damage. But then you also look at Iverson, he does the same things that Wade does, only that you play the fast forward button a little bit and a little bit more. After you can put them to each side and compare. From there, it is easy to distinguish that Pacquiao is just quicker, faster, throws more and as hard hitting w/c makes him a little more exciting to watch than Cotto.

Pacman makes Cotto look boring in a head to head match-up IMO. And I am not saying that cos I am pinoy, but because its the truth.
Your biased opinion does not constitute the truth. Don't even think for a second that it does.

[theunderdog]

Your biased opinion does not constitute the truth. Don't even think for a second that it does.

i think he was being sacrastic dude. he was bashing pac in the other thread

[cpnasty]

Pacman

[boxbox]

pacman, he's fights are always fast paced. cotto is exciting in a way=)

[retriever]

Pacman..then Cotto.

[dangerousity]

Yet both MAB & morales whoma Pac fought when they were 29 were past prime or shot ;)

[Chiko_Tech]

Let's put it this way. Pacquaio does what Cotto does (and arguably better) and yet Pacquaio does it to HOF'er and ATG's whereas Cotto does it to garbage bin and puerto rican no names and still manages to get rocked and almost KO'd.

Nuff said.

No namer 8 former and current world champions, 5 undefeated fghters no afraid of nobody, 2 olimpic medalist you call this no names and whant you to remeber Pac have been down and rocked by a jab.

[Chiko_Tech]

Both are very exiting but i will pick Cotto only because of the ecximent of seing a fighter form your own country.

[Shpion]

I think you had gone a bit hard on Cotto but I completely agree with you, the level of their competition is not even comparable.

[ericfabre]

Pacman.

[digiram]

Pacman. He has that one punch KO power.

[Circa]

pac

[koko of phil]

I say both are exciting fighter. But I choose Pac more, when this guy fighting you can't even afford to get your eyes off tv. Cotto's style gets you a little dull sometimes. But if you're looking for great skill to watch, Cotto is the man for you.

[joito3]

miguel cotto ... watching him destroy guys with skill is more entertaining than watching pac destroy guys with just raw natural talent

[Shpion]

miguel cotto ... watching him destroy guys with skill is more entertaining than watching pac destroy guys with just raw natural talent

So MAB and EM are just talented but raw ordinary boxers, hah?:patsch

[coffeehunk]

equaly exiting.

[Boom_Boom]

miguel cotto ... watching him destroy guys with skill is more entertaining than watching pac destroy guys with just raw natural talent

when was constantly punching the body with brute strength skill?

[joito3]

when was constantly punching the body with brute strength skill?

have you ever tried going to the body in combination ?

[joito3]

So MAB and EM are just talented but raw ordinary boxers, hah?:patsch
the post is not talking about their opponents

[Shpion]

After I understood the meaning of your post, it was too late to edit. My fault.

[retriever]

Pac :)

[PATSYS]

Manny Pac.

Its not even fucking debatable.

Agree.

Cotto is exciting but he is very methodical - not saying it is bad. Pac, although he tries to be ver methodically, usually throws the strategy out the window and gets wild.

[PIPO23]

Pacquiao because he isn't textbook the guy is wild,and Boxing has never seen anything like PAC before.He is one of a kind.

[Leonard]

manny pacman pacquiao

[Dxero]

Talk about old thread, 2 years ago, but it is a hard choice because both of their styles are unique and exciting at the same time to me, but if I had to choose it would have to be Pacman for what PIPO said:

"Pacquiao because he isn't textbook the guy is wild,and Boxing has never seen anything like PAC before.He is one of a kind. "

[bachatu]

Both are exciting but it also depends on which style you enjoy more. I personally enjoy Cotto's style of breaking a guy down with body shots and then chopping the head off, and don't mind that he gets in some exchanges here and there, makes for a more dramatic fight.
Some other guys enjoy Pacquiao's erratic movement and unpredictability.

[Silvermags]

pac..

there's nothing to debate here!

[MAG1965]

No complaint about either fighter. They are both exciting. Manny is a little more technical and efficient than Cotto. Manny knows how to win and not get banged up in the process. Cotto has been busted up even in his wins.

[kettu]

Pac, it's not close
