    I believe that cotto is a bit damaged after the plaster paris incident with margarito. However, I do feel that cotto struggles against big physical guys such as margarito, clottey, and mosley. He's in his comfort zone when he is the stronger guy and he is able to walk his opponent down, and with pacquiao this will be the case.

    Who knows?

    My gut instinct says he'll be fine, as long as he doesn't take too many. I don't see him toppling over at the first sign of a punch. Their whole plan will be to avoid taking too many shots by utilizing his movement. When it comes down to it I'm sure he'll hold a shot well enough, he is already sparring a big guy that can punch so he won't be completely unprepared.

    Its what makes this fight so interesting...Miguel will not only be bigger, he has the tools to actually make shots like that land.

    If Miguel can rally through the early stages where I see Manny's speed being to much...this fight is going to get really tight IMO.

    I mean this is not a 145 pound de la hoya or 148 pound hatton. The mayweather, and hopkins fight should us that when you take a skilled big man in the ring against a good little bit the end result is pretty obvious. Cotto would knock both of those guys out with ease.

    Cotto has never struggled with smaller guys with speed and pacquiao has never fought someone as big and skilled as cotto. Put it this way i like pac but honestly do you think he can beat a 170 pound clottey.

    I love pacquiao but he will crumble before Miguel, Cotto is too strong powerful and such a better boxer than pacquiao. Pacquiao started to learn boxing recently Miguel has been polishing his skills for years. The little man has heart, but heart can only take you so far. Cotto Tko.

    You guys should bet on Cotto right away if you are so confident. The odds will get much closer after the 24/7, they already have gotten closer than the initial opening.

    I think Pacquiao will win, but I don't have a strong conviction. Seeing people write Pac off reminds me of the De La Hoya fight when I, and many others, did the same. I just hope if Pacquiao wins we won't have the same excuses, and the people who knew Pac was too small will have gained the reward they deserve.
