    And got no chance whatsoever. Cotto Is Very damn good. Pac-Man Is great. WHen Cotto was fighting Clottey you could see Pac-Man watching the fight telling his promoter that this would be easy you could see it in is face.

    Pac-Man is just going to prove it again how great he his. There not even in the same class. Cotto is not a ATG because he pull it off against mosley that night.

    Cherrypicked my @ss. Cotto could very well KO the smaller Pac.

    Are you just being an ass?

    How can you cherry pick a top tier fighter like that, it's not like Cotto has not been doing very, VERY good lately. :patsch

    I honestly think that Roach allowed his own Ego to over pick if you know what I mean, and it started to show as it got closer to training camp, 1st he was confident, talking **** we will stop Cotto etc....

    as it got closer and closer you heard Roach saying we wanted the mayweather fight thats the fight we really wanted:think Then you have these training camp issues Pac MIA, Adviser hanging up on Roach, training in the Philipines Roach wanted it in Mexico....

    Not saying Cotto is the nail in pacquiaos coffen I am just stating its clear as a bell that Roach would rather not have this fight...

    Thats right.

    And for good reasons, I don't think Roach expected Cotto to accept the title on the line at 145lbs, but he did.

    Cotto has always been successful to the body with fighters who have given him a chance to find that range. Pacquiao will get hit to the body, and I think Cotto will stop him.

    Just because Pac chose Cotto because of his fear of Mosley does NOT mean he will beat Cotto!

    Wtf is wrong with u? Pac may very well have chosen Cotto because he THOUGHT it was the easier option but Cotto may very well knock Pac the **** out.

    I'm going with Cotto KOin 8.

    For all these Cotto backers, I can probably count on one hand how many of them are willing to back their predictions with money.

    You are right.....and the more tape he studies of Cotto the more concerned he is getting. Pacquiao doesn't seem too worried at this point because he is sheltered by all of his yes men who are blowing a lot of smoke up his hynie !!!!

    So by your logic, anything excpt picking a fighter you know you cannot beat is cherrypicking?

    Of course Pac reckons he can win this. That doesn't mean its cherrypicking, Cotto is an elite fighter.

    Apparently Roach wanted either Khan, Morales 4 or Barrera 3, but realised the public wouldnt buy yet another sham

    He was forced to pick from weither Shane, Miguel or Floyd. Shane at 140 would be another sham, so they couldnt do that, and they werent keen on Mosely up at 147, Floyd already has his commitments, so they took Cotto. Not without concessions though - 145 catchweight and belt on the line

    Still, its a good fight and im looking forward to it. Think Mannys speed, movement and speedpower will be the key. Cotto willl be bloodied
