    Hopefully, you're right. I'm rooting for Pacquiao but I feel like Pacquiao is not training hard enough and concentrating more on his other career.
    Boxing needs full time attention. If you put your soul into it you're just gonna get destroyed by your opponent(s).

    LOL Cotto is big. He has been fighting bigger fighters before. He is a "weight jumper" after all. The difference between Pacquiao and Margarito is the speed. Cotto impressed with when he fought Mosley but I believe that Pacquaio is faster Mosley and Juddah, not to mention that he is one of the best south paw out there.


    Manny's "little speed punches" should not be underestimated as well because he can back his speed with power. Of course, I'm saying that Pacquiao will win this for sure, Cotto is a legit test for Pacquiao.

    I've been favouring Pacquiao since day 1. I favoured him to beat Oscar, and Hatton, infact a long time ago I said to a well known ex-poster here that he'd have a good shot at beating Margarito and I was considered insane. Pacquiao is a great physical specimen to fight bigger men, its like he's engineered for it. Unless you take it to a ridiculous level and throw him in with Pavlik :p

    I agree, people disrespect Cotto when the fight was announce. Cotto is no joke, finally people starting to realize that now. I favor Cotto.. he is a smart fighter, strong fighter, and has power. Pac is in for a long night against this beast.

    Cuz pac has look invincible his last 3 fights while cotto has struggled that's why majority pick pacquiao when the fight was first announce. Lately there has been a lot of distraction about pac's training camp. I've been a pac fan for a while and this training camp distraction crap is not new to me. Pac trains hard everytime his getting ready for a fight. All the talk about him taking cotto lightly is bullcrap. Pac trains hard for every fight so don't be fooled cotto's camp or cotto will be in for a big surprise.:good

    cotto is one tough and will sure provide the test for pac. in fact, i don't discount the possibility of this fight being 50-50.

    cotto has much more ring IQ than hatton and this will surely come into play. i may root for pac but cotto will be one scary test.

    bigger test than dlh, cotto or even jmm imo. Jmm was a stylistic nightmare although i think jmm does not have the pop to ko pac unlike cotto which i think will big enough to overpower pac, hurt him and even KO him.

    Ive always thought Cotto would win, if anything im thinking it will be a closer fight then i first thought because pac is much bigger then i thought hed look next to cotto...


    That being said i hope the pac people start to make noise again because pac was the favorite when the fight was announced, i want to be able to bet on cotto as the underdog and make some $$$$$.....

    to think so many say pac is cherrypicking cotto, and that cotto is done, ect, ect.... will just continue to fuel cotto to maul and destroy pac.
