    That would be terrible.. Take a nasty ass cut to stop either them though.

    I don't, but I liked Bo.

    I still have the MNF game against Seattle somewhere in my collection.

    Cotto is strong maybe TKO PAC.

    The problem is always been the speed and workrate.I have never seen Cotto go ballistic anyway at any fight.That's not his style.He boxes.However he seems slow.THe Speed and fast punches is what he should be concern about.He will have to fight every sec of every minute of every round.Morales and marquez are tremendous atheletes they can go all night.Cotto seems to tire tho.

    Pac's beaten off more than he can chew here. He selected the easier option which clearly wasnt Sugar Shane. But Cotto is too big too strong and too good a boxer. Cotto can be hit and is a slow starter which is what makes this soo interesting. But Cotto isnt just an average fighter. Cotto by KO.

    Not true about Morales being tireless. MAB got the better of Morales late in all three fights.......and the first Pac fight narrowed on the scorecards only because Morales lost the late rounds.

    Throughout his career Morales was never a fighter to score late KO's.

    In Morales-Pac 1, Morales beat Pac strictly by boxing, and when he tried to go for some gusto, he began to lose rounds late.

    Even though Cotto may tire late, he could still decision Pac if he built a big enough lead as Morales did.

    Study the PAC/JMM fights and learn a thing or two, Cotto is also a technical boxer, but not really a defensive master, he should take advantage of his strong jab, and just keep moving around. Dont force the KO, instead be patient and grab it when it comes.

    Cotto said he will try to improve his defense in preparation for PAC's fast punches in bunches... Good... Cotto just needs to anchor his offense (or counterpunches) from that defensive shell ala Clottey... Cotto can't stay being defensive and just wait for PAC to tire or to stop his offense coz it won't happen... PAC loves to crack people's defenses...

    this is a great oppurtunity for Cotto to really improve himself as a fighter and boxer... go back to the basics, work on his defence like he says hes going to, re commit to the body and stamina.... god i hope all this can come together.
