    lol, Ill take my chances lol.

    I am of the opinion that Pac will actually be getting hit back in this fight unlike his previous 3 bouts where he hardly took a clean hit apart from Hatton's left hand that nearly had Pac on ***** street.

    I think Cotto is going to fight smart and not steam in with his hands down like Hatton did and I can see it being similar to how Cotto vs Jennings started off. In the sense that Cotto did not rush in and he was patient and Jennings was the one trying to work from the outside because he was afraid to get in close incase he got landed and eventually Pac will edge closer and closer until he gets himself cornered and that is when Cotto will unleash. I just see Pac getting worn down after a while because he will be doing a lot of moving to stay out of Cotto's range and Pac will have to basically imply what he did against Oscar but it wont be so easy to this time because he has a live opponent in the ring but thats only if he is not drained from this catchweight nonsense...what you think? I know you favour Pac lol

    Pretty ordinary against who exactly???

    If you have ever boxed in your life you will notice the small things much more and trust me when Pac got buzzed for that few seconds that was enough for a good fighter to capitalize on that

    Cotto has got more skills than just to fight off the back foot and a Jab, that just shows how closely you dont watch boxing, your making an assessment of one fight, the Clottey fight and dont lie.

    When has Cotto looked pretty ordinary against A Grade opponents ???

    If your fighting A Grade opponents then your not expected to look like your superman, when you fight tough fighters your in with someone who is just as good if not better so I dont understand your logic for him looking ordinary, how do you expect him to look???

    Hey man am great, how about you bro?

    It's all good my man,:good

    Well, first Pacquiao is NOT any of those fighters to began with, Clottey couldn't even stop a blown wash up shot fighter in Corrales(R.I.P.) and even though he had a change to beat Cotto but he blew it:-(, Mosley CAN be out box, i just thought that he fought a bad fight against Cotto and he was coming back late in the fight, but it was too late, i pick him to knockout Cotto if a rematch takes places, as for Zab who has he knocked out at this weight seens Spinks? I just dont see Cotto beating Pac man.

    That's just my opinion bro peace.

    I don't know but since you are putting it that way, I can have second thoughts... After all, you know how I got to see Cotto-Torres as most of Cotto's fights! You were picking Hatton against Pac like I was, and I bet both of us were picking Hoya by demolition against Pac... I didn't get to c Cotto-Jennings but I'm sure I will.
    It's hard to c Cotto not making it physical, giving his face to try to land a big one as Pac steps/jumps back and forth light on his feet like he did against Oscar... Cause Pac will be coming in wild unlike Jennings... So my point is all about what's gonna Cotto do when Pac comes and how is Cotto gonna worn Pac down if he is constantly in the receiving side? I guess you already answered by saying that he will trap Pac in the corner at some point :huh... I believe Cotto is so much stronger than Pac but not while they are in fast motion, get the general idea? I favour Pac even if it's not at a catchweight below 145... It's gonna be extremelly tough for both and it can't go 12 rounds, it's the sort of thing we expected between Castillo and Hatton, somebody gat to go.

    I'm not confident of my prediction, but Cotto should be Manny's toughest competitor to date. Not only is that a testament to the ability of Miguel Cotto, but also the drive of Manny Pacquiao, who is determined to take on challenges every time out. I wish them both luck, but I will be supporting Cotto in this fight, I feel he has the tools to win. He just needs to put it altogether on the night.

    manny's not gonna catch cotto with a bomb like he did hatton. i see him peppering cotto a hell of a lot, but not straight knocking him out. this fight will be a true test of manny's punching power and punch resiliance at the higher weight classes.

    the only thing i know for a fact is manny's workrate is going to frustrate cotto a hell of a lot, but when manny gets hit clean he's definitely gonna feel it.

    i still don't understand why manny/roach decided on cotto after they laughed at the idea of fighting margarito. clottey just said that cotto is much stronger than margarito and we all know he's a much better technical boxer with better defense...

    Well said. Its a breath of fresh to read a post with substance. I for one will not count pac out and would not be shocked to see him dominate with his godly like talent. I just can't favor the man over the technically sound battle tested boxer puncher that Cotto is. Manny will feel the heavy handed jab the first time it lands.

    Regardless of what Clottey has said, it is pretty clear to me that Margarito is the physically more imposing fighter of the two. He is also less inclined to feel Manny's punches whereas Cotto has had a history of being hurt and often going down. Corley, Judah, Torres, and Margarito all seriously hurt Miguel when they fought, although half of those happened at 140lb.

    Cotto is more winnable for Pacquiao because he has not shown the kind of punch resistance of Margarito, the seemingly neverending stamina, and is not as physically imposing.

    Not too bad bro it's just too hot over here right now. There is no air, I feel like I am in Dubai, it's that hot lol...

    LOL well there is definitely truth in that so I wont argue that point and I still think that Pac's style is on paper trouble for Cotto but I think this fight will shock alot of people especially that twice now Pac has had people calling him the underdog but against Cotto he is now possibly the favourite and this is where I see this saga ending. I think that the looser will still get big fights and so will the winner so there really cant be a looser when all is said and done.

    I respect your opinion bro, Aight im signing off, catch you later....

    i agree. i just feel that with manny's speed, stamina, and elusiveness he would more easily take a slow, plodding margarito to a 12 round UD. either way the guy's a ****in monster for stepping up. if the fight's at 147 manny's gonna have a hell of a time seriously hurting miguel unless he can get sneaky and land a bomb.

    this is a biased post, you said diaz was taylor made for pac and made him look 10 times better than he is. how do you explain the demolision of barrera morales 2 hatton oscar. its not just coincidences that he demolishes these fighters. he is a great fighter.

    p4p pac is a better fighter than cotto. what cotto has is stregth. if pac stays elusive he will outbox cotto and beat him.
