    Pac by tko reopenning scars around miguel's eyes. But I'm predicting that with a gun pointed at me and the gunman screaming for me to take a pick.

    Unless Pacquiao opens up that scar tissue over Cotto's eye I see Cotto by late TKO or UD.

    More people voted for Cotto. A little surprising.

    Pacquiao by mid-fight stoppage, around 7-9. I can see Cotto gassing out and Pac taking advantage.

    I'm going back and forth on this one but I think I know what the key to the fight is. After watching most of manny pacquiao's fights its become apparent to me that the only way to last against him is to either be a tight defensive smart boxer in the mold of a marquez or a mayweather. Or you have to have a brick chin like morales. Because if you give him the chance Manny will start ripping off combinations at speeds faster then you can see coming. Morales was able to weather these storms somewhat because he's more evasive then people give him credit for and because he's got a rediculous chin. So he was able to suck up Manny's pressure and then return fire when Manny was done. This got manny on the back foot and made it easier for him to land his Jab. Miguel Cotto is no JMM. We all know he's going to get hit. For me the big question is can he take Manny's sunday punch followed by the traditional wild man onslaught. If he can weather these has more power then Manny can take for 12 rounds. If he can't he's screwed.

    Also I have an incling that Manny is not in his best condition for this fight. I have a feeling this fight is going to look a lot like the second Morales fight....I'm just not sure which fighter is going to be playing which part.

    Pak by TKO rds 9-11

    I think Cotto won't be knocked down/out due to Pac's punches. He may be standing, but the ref would likely be stopping this fight due to Cotto's inability to see and fight caused by wide-open cuts above Miguel's eyebrows. I don't see Cotto stopping Pac through body-blow or his killer left hook, he just could not find his range. It would be hard for him to beat an ever-mobile pacman...

    Pac by KO mid to late rounds. Cotto is the bigger and stronger fighter. But can he catch a speed demon like Manny? Manny has shown he can knock down a middleweight in sparring. Cotto handles speed very well, but he's never seen this kind of blinding speed in front of him. 9 days left!
