Can Manny Pacquiao handle Cotto’s left jab? The answer is simple…NO!
By Lester Salvador
I’ve discussed the upcoming Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao fight many times with my friends and casual boxing fans I run into. I’ve seen how the media can hype up a fighter and make him out to be something he is not, especially in Manny’s case.
It always makes me laugh when you witness people buying into the Pacman hype train, I had a good laugh today when this woman was talking about the fight at Starbucks, she said “Manny Pacquiao will knock out that Mexican boxer on Saturday” funny she didn’t even know who Cotto was and called him Mexican when he is Puerto Rican.
Manny Pacquiao has fooled people into believing he is some kinda mythical beast, Pacman was dealt a lucky hand with his opponents fighting them at the right time. It is no secret that Pacman was able to catch these guys on the tail end of their careers or in unfair circumstances like catch-weights.
Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao have picked the wrong guy this time, they think Miguel Cotto is not the same fighter, but they will be in for a shock on November 14 in Las Vegas.
The main reason why this fight will be in favor of Cotto is because of his superior timing, especially with his left jab. Manny has trouble with jabs and counters, Miguel Cotto has one of the best timed left jabs in the game today. Miguel Cotto has proven his jab is no joke! Most recently Joshua Clottey who had never been knock down before fell victim to Cotto’s stiff jab.
Pacquiao can do his fancy martial arts movements all he wants, but once Cotto lands his heavy counter jab he can drop the Filipino or even worse Knock him out cold.
For those of you who do not believe me watch the video below. Pachuggers might be bit nervous after watching this footage.

If Manny was dropped by a soft jab like that imagine if Cotto lands his powerful jab?

Dear rookie writer,
First – I want to answer your question…Can Pacquiao handle Cotto’s left jab: Probably not but I also want to ask you…Can Cotto hit Manny?
Second – I just want to make an educated guess…you are one of those self-proclaimed experts who claimed that Pacquiao will be outboxed by Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Dela Hoya, Diaz and Hatton and when the result doesnt come your way…you are quick enough to bring up your automatic excuses…I bet you already have an excuse prepared when Cotto gets knock out and I bet it would be that Pacquiao is a mutant or something…
Lastly – When Cotto gets knocked out, we wouldnt be reading your articles for a long time because you will be like the “BOY WHO CRIED WOLF….” aWOOOOOOO!!! Wolf! Wolf!
This Lester Salvador is an IDIOT! I will save this article and laugh at your f**king face after Nov 14th. Are you sure you know boxing? You think pacman had an easy fight with Dela hoya and hatton? He just made it look easy!! everytime pacquaio fight they say he will fail but it aint happpened yet. People like you should watch wrestling you ignorant fool!
Hey, Lester Salvador: KISS MY ASS, DIMWIT!!!
LOL
he was also KOed by a guy named rustico torrecampo… barrera never even came close to KDing pac… so therefore torrecampo is stronger than barrera… henceforth, torrecampo’s legend should be loftier than barrera’s… torrecampo for hall fame!!!!
cotto’s got a big dick than manny! all of you can f*ck my ass if cotto losses. -lester
dang! youre such a hater and most of all a CRAB!
a bile envious CRAB! envy is eating out your guts. what have pacquiao done to you that you write so much bile and so much hate? youre one low class filipino crab. you can suck cotto’s d__k allday long but it wont change a thing, he will be brutally knocked out.
Wow, I’m pretty sure no is going to believe a guy who drives up to Starbucks to buy a cup of coffe. This guy is no boxing expert let alone a boxing fan. Pacquiao ended up whooping this guy’s ass for a TKO in the tenth so i don’t give a shit about that video. Let me show you some real videos:
This is Miguel Cotto training on the heavy bag for his Pacquiao Fight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgkxvjlLzvA
This is Pacquiao two years ago on the heavy bag two years ago
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7dB_4yXPv4
This Pacquiao training two years ago looks faster, stronger, and even technically better than Cotto of 2009. A little birdy has also told me Pacman has gotten bigger and badder since then. Cotto looks like a man going through the motions while Pacquiao looks like he is training to kill. Shit my comment is better than this damn article.
You will be alarmed big time if you compare the two working on the heavy bag. Manny is lightning fast with crisps punches thrown in combinations of 4, 5, 6. Cotto moves in slow motion. I hope he’s faster than that, if not, he’s going to be KOed in the first round.
Haha! I didn’t read the post above mine when I posted my comments. .
u said it urself … media can hype up a fight … and so is this article which is full of non sense. i really pity u as u are a very low class writer.. u are trying to hype up this fight but in a very wrong sense. though u are successful to get replies from boxing fans … but also u got negative responses. i suggest u create another alias after pacquiao-cotto fight as u’ll be eating ur own words back and as expected will write so many excuses why Cotto lost.
Lester Salvador, what the heck, are you talking about? That loss by Pacquiao is with a fellow Filipino experienced boxer 17 years ago and if you think 13 years later Pacquiao never learned his mistakes, you must be nuts.
You better learn how to report news not just grab it from the tabloids. Good Luck, and I don’t think you place a bet on Cotto either.
LESTER?? irr such a fReak!!.. envy? ha!! guess what,
pacquiao is also an ass kicker.. he’s goin to kick your buTT!!!!!!!!!
kupal ka
lester salvador, now its done, you should quit your job! nonsense writer.
OK mofo lester salvador..now it can be said…

PUKINANGINAMO! BOBO!!!
Lester, lester lester… What have you done? All you did was humiliate yourself…
And, oh, Pacquiao did handle Cotto’s jabs. Not once, not twice, but thrice.
I bet he’s gay.
) loser.
And, oh, Lester, get back to your job as Beakman’s lab rat.
The writer is a moron. Now that Pacman won, what’s your excuse?
What now? Now give us an explanation of how did this happen…
HA HA
AND HA HA
AND MORE HA HAs.
with matching finger pointing to Lester.
N|OW |Y”OU” KNOW TH”E ANSWER T”O ?YOUR QUESTION!! THE FIGHT IS OVER! MANNY BY TKO !! NEXT TIME DONT J”UST WR”ITE “ONE S”IDED ART”ICLES C”OZ “ITS EMBARRASS|ING IF EVER ?YOU’re proven wrong!
I bet Lester’s gona have this article closed to avoid further verbal abuse..
like.. You LOSE LESTER! Come up with a more neutral analysis/prediction next time so you won’t get too humiliated!
HAHAHA!! WHAT CAN YOU SAY NOW LESTER SALVADOR?!?! WHO’S STUPID NOW?! SO MUCH FOR YOUR SO CALLED “BOXING KNOWLEDGE” LOL! YOU’RE THE LAUGHING STOCK IN PACLAND AND ON ALL BOXING WEBSITES! EAT YOR STUPID WORDS YOU MOHTHAFUCKA!
@lester what now? do you have more excuses!
NOW WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?! YOU SAID NO EXCUSES RIGHT?! JUST ADMIT IT, YOU’RE AS STUPID AS YOUR MOM AND DAD! YOU SHOULD JUST HAVE BEEN ABORTED BY YOUR MOM WHEN YOU’RE STILL A FETUS!
Damn, you destroyed everything about Cotto man. Cotto is a very good fighter but he is waaaaaayy far from Pacquiao’s talent. You will die with no dignity. Bring your father with you and fuck your mom!!! Damn faggot!
You called yourself a boxing analyst?
We all feel sorry and laughing (ALSO) that you
did’nt even know manny.
Hi Lester, I just want to drop by one last time just to tell you that history has been made and Manny is the undisputed, greatest fighter and you my friend will be forgotten by the rest of us come tomorrow morning.
So you can read more of Pacquiao’s fans’ comments from YouTube, your main source of “research” material so you can cry some more. I suggest you watch the fight in slow motion and see how Manny dominated your precious Cotto and count how many times Cotto fell down.
PS one last suggestion, write a follow up article, “Did Cotto Win? The answer is simple…NO!” bwahahahaha!
i can’t say that youre stupid… already redundant.
once again another asshole got owned by pacman.
i’ll be waiting for your next article where you will write excuses.
I better not read another whining, full of excuses article why Cotto did not win because if you do, you really one stupid boxing “analyst” and one who cannot take a hint, Pacquiao is the best. PERIOD.
Next time, if and when you decide to write another boxing article; learn to be more subjective and neutral just so you won’t come across as a bias, knows nothing and has $h*t for brains pseudo intellectual.
And for calling Filipinos stupid and not able to speak english well, then let me say this in a language you will understand; eres un gran hijo de p*t@. Tu, Lester, es un mamon y un hombre pendejo. Intiendes?? Si?? Esta bien.
Once again, the so called “Pacnuts” do a better job at predicting the outcome compared to some boxing scribes. If this website pays you to write junk, they should hire me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
In your face, a part of me wants to show class…But for you Mr. salvador and only for you, all you get is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH (insert excuses here)
Lester, your analysis sucks and it looks like you just lost your credibility…the pacman just mauled your Miguel Cotto hours ago.
Why don’t you write about something else, say, about global warming…or whatever topic you can find.
And please, no more lousy attempts at analyzing prize fights in the future.
Lester Salvador, Stop writing now and go to the bathroom then kiss yourself.
To Lynn Claire, estoy de acuerdo. Lester is “un mamon.” o di ba? tamimi na seguro yan ngayon.
now what… I saved this article to let you know that you are just a Manny hater… sorry men your man was beaten up… like a rug
ha ha ha . . . NOW LET THE EXCUSES BEGIN. . . let’s hear what the sore losers have to say now!!!!
well I just hope i wont see mr salvador making any more articles for this website. He(salvador) just took this websites integrity with him down the drain.
pfffft.
congratulations manny pacquiao! it looks like you did not only defeated cotto but your critics also.
7 title in 7 weight divisions?

Lester Salvador, I owe you a debt of gratitude as you made watching every second of that fight that much better knowing that I was gonna come home and type this rubbing the Pacquiao ass kicking in your face (all over it).
You were right about one thing, Cotto’s jab is pretty good.
Cotto danced pretty well the last 4 rounds, he might be lookin to be a contestant in Dancing with the Stars. I’m sure you’re available to be his dance partner since you have no business being a writer.
Nostradumbass hahaha!
HEY LESTER!!!! I really searched for this article to fuck your mouth up. Your such a mouthy dumb ass so-called boxing expert. LOL. EAT ALL YOUR WORDS SUCKER AND KISS THE ASS OF MANUEL PEREZ, AND TELL US HOW IT TASTE.
Lester!!! eh, kulban caldero la na trabaho muchaz grasas, del trambotso el gago, de estupido el karaho me maldito, eyyyy. UNDERSTAND!!!!!????
Lester Salvador..you know what.. you’re a disgrace to all the scribes…this is what you have clearly and authoritatively predicted..
“Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao have picked the wrong guy this time, they think Miguel Cotto is not the same fighter, but they will be in for a shock on November 14 in Las Vegas.
The main reason why this fight will be in favor of Cotto is because of his superior timing, especially with his left jab. Manny has trouble with jabs and counters, Miguel Cotto has one of the best timed left jabs in the game today. Miguel Cotto has proven his jab is no joke! Most recently Joshua Clottey who had never been knock down before fell victim to Cotto’s stiff jab”.
Now what excuses can you give that altered the result? My opinion is that you are just an asshole and plain asshole. As simple as that…you are an A S S H O L E and no need for further explanation.
Manny Pacquiao even handled Cotto’s left hook.
