    Who do you like in the Manny Pacquia vs Miguel Cotto fight?

    "That's tough. I think Cotto might be a little bigger and I don't know if her ever fought anybody who's naturally as big and as strong as Cotto is so I ain't really sure. I love Pacquiao because he's such a busy fighter and he's such an exciting fighter and you love to watch him because he throws so many punches, however, I do like Cotto in that fight because Cotto is a bigger ma so we'll have to see, but I do like Cotto."-RJJ

    Not a technical answer but at least he makes his pick. Now everybody come and respond by saying "well DLH and Hatton were bigger than Pacquiao too and see what happened to them."

    DLH and Hatton are a million miles from even this version of Cotto.

    Cotto is by far a more legitimate opponent then DLH or Hatton...the difference is that Pacquiao has had time now to adjust/grow into his new weight.

    I pick Pac to win because Cotto likes to dictate the pace of his fights, looks uncomfortable when he can't, and Pacquiao won't let him do that.

    Actually he's not 100% sure about his pick, but it shows that in this fight either man can win it.

    Hatton and DLH traded with Pacman ( well Hatton tried) .... Cotto is a very slick fighter with a good boxing brain hes naturally at his weight and will be an awkward fighter for Pacman .... Cotto to win by stoppage late on !

    i think it's funny how those picking cotto only seem to be picking him because he's "the bigger man". if cotto wins november 14th, it's not gonna be because he's the bigger man. after what pac did to hatton and odlh, why would people choose cotto based on size alone?

    Agreed...if Cotto wins it's because of his stiff jab and his body attack will be the hardest punches Manny has ever felt...

    He said bigger and stronger. Big difference Cotto is stronger that DLH and defintely Hatton who was bullied by Collazo.
