Cotto's a big name who's still in his prime and has many good fights left. I doubt that him and his team would risk making a weight too low just for a shot against Pac. If Cotto's team says he can make 145 then I trust them more than any other poster here saying that Cotto will be weight drained @145.
You know, i dont think cotto has a stronger chin than hatton... i may be wrong though. But i would love to see Cotto win, but something tells me Manny will stop him
Same story huh? Once again, Pacman's opponent seems to have all the advantages. Just like I figured de la Hoya would get him, just like I figured Hatton would get him, I am going to predict that Manny's YET UNTESTED chin at this weight is going to be his downfall. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Manny beats Cotto all over the ring like he did Hatton and takes only a scant few good shots to the chin. Manny has just been that good. But I'm not fool enough to predict he will do something that incredible AGAIN. Cotto by mid round KO.
this will really be a war it will be difficult but i see it in cottos favor im sorry i anyone doesnt agree its just cottos got too many advantages here many has his also dont get me wrong but watever happens we wil all be happy we got this fight " a shot cotto" no way, " a shot manny" neither both still hav a lot left
I honestly think that this is Cotto's "retirement pension" fight...I think Cotto realizes that he may never be the same fighter after the Margarito fight...he's cashing out on this one. This is going to be a blow-out!!
As much as I would like Cotto to win this fight, he won't. This is a bad matchup for him. One big mistake that Cotto makes that I notice is after he throws his left hook whether to the head or body, he freezes for a split second. That is all it takes for Manny to throw counters. Side stepping counter-punches will be huge in this fight for Pacquiao. If I can see it, I know Roach sees it. A cut will be the determining factor in this one.
I'm kind of worried that Pacquiao is going to just come out swinging and Cotto won't have time to adjust to his speed. Should be a good fight for as long as it lasts. Hopefully Cotto remembers to go to the body
im a cotto fan but i see manny's speed takinng control of the fight and stopping cotto in the mid rounds or late rounds
