Said it before and I'll say it again... PAC wins this one. Especially after last night. Too quick and his style is too dynamic. It would be a better fight than with Ricky but ultimately he suffers the same defeat...maybe not a brutal.
i wouldn't gas up pacman 2 much im a big paquiao fan but hatton had no defense cottos defense is much better then hatton i think cotto stops paquiao but pacman would give him a war i woul favor cotto 70 -30 with cotto 2 stop paquiao on a body shot
At the moment im favouring Cotto. He wont get KO'd early and enough power to KO Pac. Dont forget he was outboxing Mosley some parts, and I think mosley would have KO Hatton inside 3 too. 50/50 for now, I'll wait and see how Pac can really take a punch at these weights. From 135-147, his chin still hasnt been tested. If he can handle Cotto's punches, Pac UD all day long.
cotto to big. i wouldnt want pac to take a fight against him. either floyd or anyone at 140 and some dudes from 135 coming up.
Cotto is definitely big and strong for Manny. But, I am not so sure about Cotto's training group. I think Manny and Floyd are the two greatest Gym Freaks of our times. Training is their way of life. I think these two guys get sick if they spend a week away from the gym. That's the big difference. But I am waiting to see how Miguel looks against Clottey. That will let me know how serious he is about his career. Getting away from distraction in the island was a good step. Let's wait and see..
about a month ago i got laughed at for saying Pac could win it at that time i said Pac could win but i think Cotto should be a slight favorite. Now i think about how well Pac has filled in at 140, i think he would beat Cotto. I used to say Cotto would be too big, but now i don't think so.\ In terms of style, the edge is Pacs. In terms of who is better, its not really close.
Cotto's a lot more technical than Hatton. I can see pac having some success but I think Cotto would retain his patience & composure and eventually knock Pac out, badly.
I'm beginning to believe that betting against Manny might not be the wisest thing to do anymore. Saying that though I'd still favour Cotto slightly. He's a different beast to Hatton. Although we still don't know how Cotto has recovered from the Margo loss, I think the wrap scandal has really helped him mentally as it's a lot easier to think you were cheated ouy of a victory rather than being beat down. I think that Cotto has the chin, the power and enough boxing ability to take this. Wouldn't be shocked if Pac did it though.
