All signs point to Cotto, but the nut hugger in me says Marquez KO's hiim in 7! Then again I am a big Cotto fan too :-(
As a big cotto fam I say marquez draws or maybe wins a split decision (the version that fought pac ofcourse)
UPPERCUTS & COUNTERS! Cotto might be too much at this stage, but if JMM were to pull it off at welter it wouldn't be the biggest upset ever.
maybe too strong and too big, but cotto is nowhere near as good as marquez. marquez is one of the best in the business.
my mind is telling me its gonna be cotto by Ko but this will probably be marquez by split decision. Marquez cant KO Cotto or better yet Cotto wont let Marquez KO him.
Marquez might pull an upset, but he has to go the Pac way. He needs to be the man at 140 (Khan/maidana/Morales?), then test the waters at 147, by going for a tuneup fight (Berto/Bradley/Ortiz 147), then go straight to Cotto. But what the hell, go straight to pacman! THIS IS SPARTA!!!
this post was way back in 2009 and cotto just lost to margarito and beat jennings. so cotto was still seen as a prime fighter back then and would brutalize jmm and pacquiao. so cotto was shot now?
