    I am interested seeing what the actual size difference is on fight night. I think Cotto is going to KO Manny. In brutal and embarrassing fashion.

    Yeah...it's funny...Hatton's camp supposedly sized up Manny Pac and was ready for the fight...so did DLH.

    Miguel will not know how to handle Manny's speed and accuracy.

    I don't know how the fight will turn out, but Cotto has fought very fast boxers before; Judah, Mosley, DeMarcus Corley, and Quintana is pretty fast too. Cotto definitely has a much better chance at beating Pacquiao than DLH and Hatton did.

    Cotto has the skills to do what's necessary to win.

    I predicted Pacquiao to beat DLH, almost everyone knew that Pacquiao was going to knock out Hatton, Cotto is a whole different scenario because Cotto is a legitimate threat to Pacquiao. To say that Pacquiao will easily knock out Cotto out is not analyzing right.

    Cotto didn't beat Mosley, Judah, Clottey, Quintana, Maligannagi, Corley, Torres because he's a slow slugger.

    Everyone knows what PAc is going to do. DHL & Hatton knew, but getting out of the way and countering is another story

    Normally I wouldn't have a this type of assenine opinion but I have kinda noticed you can pick up somethings about strategy watching these things. The Hatton example was the perfect example. Hatton's camp obviously saw the footage of Manny right hooking and Rolling under. The rest you all know is history. So honestly maybe 24/7 did pick up on some real talk about Manny. The part about them countering Manny's hooks was obviously bogus...cause honestly you'd have to be an idiot to try to counter a punch that fast. Don't expect Cotto to try it. The parts about him going crazy and not liking it to the body are bang on though. Problem being they don't tell us much about what Cotto's looking to do.

    Irregardless I think the munkey's kinda out of the bag when it comes to Cotto's strategy anyways. The blue print to beating Manny is and always has been the Erik Morales fight. But you need balls to pull it off. Cause essentially it involves out Boxing Manny (either on the front foot or back foot) and taking his shots to give yourself opportunities to go ape-****-crazy on his ass.

    Erik won because of the headbutt on Pac. Are you suggesting dirty tactics like headbutt and low blow which are proven to be effective weapons in Cotto's arsenal. I just hope Cotto keeps it clean.

    Cottos weakness in the clottey fight was that he was fighting with one eye.

    Team Pac showed exactly what they were going to do against Ricky. Ricky knew about it. But yeah, Roach has been playing mind games recently.
