Pacquiao Vs Cotto: Whats your prediction?

jeez. Pac - he's a hard one to predict. I consider myself a fan - he's so exciting, like a pocket dynamo. But this size thing has got to be an issue sooner or later, hasn't it?

As I said, I'm a fan of Pac but pre-fight, I though he would have to lose to DLH - cos Oscar was just too big.

Pre-Hatton, again, coz of the size thing, I couldn't pick a winner - it looked like a 50/50 fight going in. Who really could have predicted what actually took place that night? (yeah, and I ain't interested in hearing your bull**** saying you knew it would happen, 'cos you really didn't). Edit: ok, it was probably more like 60/40 to Pac going in, but still.

So, against Cotto, again, it looks like a 50/50. Seriously, these three fights for the Pac are all huge. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The man's a warrior.

I don't think it'll go the distance, they'll be a stoppage, 8-12 rounds. At this moment, I'm still sitting on the fence!

 

I knew it would happen:hey Maybe not in the 2nd round but Iv'e never been too impressed with Hatton...he was taylor made for Pac

 

Exactly. You may have predicted a win, but a 2nd round KO? No way.

 

Plus there was NO SIZE DIFFERENCE between him and Hatton...but Pac was a whole lot faster

 

Yeah and I never envisioned Hatton being put to sleep like that...but before the fight it was 80/20 Pac for me

 

I really dont know why, but im thinking an early stoppage for Pacquiao. I know there isnt much to learn from the Hatton fight when comparing him to Cotto. OK we saw that Pacquiao does have power, but i think Cotto and Hatton are two completely different opponents. However Cotto's defence i still think is questionable, it got exploited at times during the Joshua Clottey fight. And with all due respect Clottey is not a top 10 P4P fighter. Pacquiao by KO in the 4th, however i wouldnt be surprised if it was later. Either way Pacman wins.

 

dude, I think you'll find Hatton's neck was twice as long as Pacs. Well, at least temporarily.

But seriously, maybe there wasn't much size difference, but for sure Hatton was more naturally the bigger man. I think he weighed in at close to 152-155 on the night didn't he?

people people,Pac has no chance in hell in knocking out Cotto,Miguel is going to land something big on pac and finish him off

 

Cotto by brutal ko mark my words too much credit is given to manny for his last two victories, he is not a BOXER he is a brawler with amazing speed look at manny's fights before de la hoya did he outboxed his opponents hell no.

 

Pacman TKO5.

 

:good i dont see how some people think Pac will win in the early rounds, If pac was to win it wiil be on points, but like you said slim chance...

 

Cotto, 5-8.

 

Cotto will not be coming in as heavy as many people think. He will still be the bigger guy, but he will try and be at a lighter weight to not compromise his speed. Thats probably why he is training so early. If you
notice, he is focusing on his weight and conditioning with his nutritionist.
He knows he will need the extra speed for Pac, and Cotto has decent speed. More than speed though, he has great timing. Both Pac and Cotto have a very good chance to win. Pac has tremendous pop in his punches, but If its not enough; Cotto with his timing and power will eventually prove to much. My prediction Cotto:5-8 Tko.

 

if cotto jabs him 2 death cotto, but if manny finally find a way 2 actually aviod a jab then pac, but still take cotto on this 1

 

haven't voted yet coz i'm still 50/50 until now. cotto by ko or pac by decision. it all depends on whether cotto can catch pac or pac can budge cottos size with his punches.

but both can potentially overwhelm the other, so i can't see a draw either way.
