    So i guess Pac can't shock the world since he's the heavy favorite.

    Funny how they pick on Pac to win citing his advantages, but suddenly shifts to seeing Cotto as not being the same after Margo. Even Pac wasnt the same when he fought Morales the first time.

    That's not such a bad analysis. Cotto needs to impose himself early because in the late rounds, Pacquiao will be stronger. Pacquaio will also want to make a statement early, so it's going to be a battle royal from the first bell!

    Exactly what I said from jump.....Good competitive fight early on but PAC begins to seperate as the fight wears on and class begins to show. Cotto has a shot early on but after round 5 PAC will begin to pick Cotto apart. Late round KO for PAC is my prediciton.

    Pac can make a statement early on without going all out. I honestly feel Cotto may take some of the early rounds when PAC is laying groundwork for the long haul. I think Cotto is the one pushing the action where PAC is countering effectively but Cotto is out working...then Cotto begins to tire and slows for two reasons.....feeling PACs power and tiring himself from his aggressive start.

    Being a Boricua, what's your comment when Puerto Rico's "Bible of Boxing", the Dean of Puerto Rican boxing is picking Pacquiao to defeat Cotto??

    Actually, Cotto isn't normally a fast starter, Pac is notourious for that. If Cotto tries to impose himself early on Pac, he's gonna get hurt because more times than not Pac likes to blast his opponent early on just to see if he can get him out of there. Cotto will Box a little bit and try and get used to Pac's rythem, I doubt he imposes himself early. He didn't do that with Jennings, I doubt he'll do that with Pac.

    Mario Rivera Martino just said what pretty much everybody thinks anyways. If Cotto doesn't nail Pac early then the fight will go in Pac's favor. That's not a crazy prediction, its actually an unbiased prediction. I wonder what Filipino boxing writers' prediction is:think
