    That's his opinion, so ****ing what? Don't mean we all have to say he is full of **** because of it.

    He might be right, nobody knows yet what the outcome will be. I dare say speed is by far Pacs best weapon and to counter that Cotto will need his timing to cope with that speed in the early rounds.

    It's his opinion and anyone has one.

    I agree that Cotto is not over the Margarito beating but that don't mean he won't win.

    I'm not a huge Max fan, but I agree with him here.

    Max Kellerman knows boxing way more than me, or anyone else on ESB, but the fact that he is relying on the "Cotto is not the same" theory troubles me...maybe I should read the article, though. I suppose he could have gave more insight than that.

    We really still dont know if Margo ****ed Cotto mentally. If his last fight is anything to go by, he is well on the road to recovery.

    He fought one eyed against a big strong WW, the warrior and heart in him came right out and proved what he is capable of.

    I've stopped picking against Pac.

    I remember a time when I said Diaz wouldnt be easy as he is coming up in weight again, a world title at a 4th weight is never ever easy... Pac knocked him out. Then I pick Oscar to beat him, way too big, even after cutting weight by the time they get in the ring DLH will dwarf him...Pac knocked him. Then Ricky Hatton, okay Ricky isnt an ATG but he is a beast at 140, he wont be weight drained like DLH, he'll be stronger and more aggressive than Pac and will be able to make the extra weight count... Pac knocked him out.

    I now know, size doesnt matter if your good enough! And Pac has proved time n time again that he is very very good.

    I think his speed will tell against Cotto, as will his workrate and awkward southpaw style. Cotto has been troubled by slicksters with tricky styles before, he has also been stunned in quite a few fights and with his defence being questionable I can see Pac taking advantage.

    Pac stops him late in a very good, bloody fight.

    Pac TKO.

    Its all about speed so far for Pac. Thats everyones best argument for Pac beating Cotto.
    I remember everyone was saying the same thing when Mosley was matched up with Cotto. I also agreed with it.
    Cotto surprised us all with his speed and not to mention his timing. He was timing Mosley and sometimes even beating him to the punch.

    Thats why im saying that speed wont matter with Cotto. Against older aging fighters yes it will matter but not with Cotto.
