    People are underestimating Pac's strength. He's going to hurt Cotto, badly. I actually think Pac will KO/TKO him between round 5-7, seriously.

    I can see Cotto getting confused like Hatton did, im not saying he's on Hatton level, because he's not. Cotto is going to be real suprised by Pac's power.

    Honestly we dont know how well Pacquiao can take punches at 147 or even at 140. De La Hoya didnt really hit him with anything memorable, and neither did Hatton at least with the Cotto fight we know that Pac is gonna get caught with something and we'll see how he reacts to it

    I think the same thing Pac carries his strength up as his weight goes up Cotto is more on the elite level than Hatton will ever be but I see Cotto being hurt a few times by Pacquiao I think it would be smart for Cotto to go in as a counter puncher for this fight it would fare much better for him in the end

    I'll still stick w/ my opinion that Cotto is a bleeder. He cuts easy ( barring any accidental head butt.) I respect Cotto a lot but MP will win this by TKO.

    yeah Im questioning his balls. If he have the courage and not thinking he will lose to a smaller man and not just fighting for bigger payday, then he should put the title on line. :think

    Pacquiao could very well win this fight. Yes, he's smaller, but he's SO MUCH BETTER overall than Cotto. And his defense and movement is amazing.

    EVeryone is forgetting that Miguel Cotto has a jab, and good timing- two things that DLH and Hatton did not.

    This is not going to be as easy as the Pac nuthuggers think.

    this is not an easy fight but cotto is quite flat footed. pac will be able to dart in and out in this fight. pacs speed will be to much for cotto.

    On top of that, Evangelista Cotto is a shitty trainer. everyone knows Cotto was training himself. I will be interested to see what he can do with an actual trainer instead of a douche uncle that clearly hates him.

    If Cotto gets in the body work early in the fight he could slow Pacquiao down and catch him later in the fight. That's Cotto's best chance in my opinion.

    I think people make a big deal about pac fighting bigger guys when in reality Cotto has been doing this since he stepped up. Margarito is huge, as was Clottey, and Mosley had height and reach advantages. Cotto has lived with and beaten these bigger guys and so in theory he should be able to manhandle and finish pac if he hurts him. Its all about Cotto's jab and whether or not he can time Pac consistently for 12 rounds.
