    I like both, but i'm going for Pac.
    Cotto is still my favorite fighter after he looses.

    I'm not going to predict off top ... I know that the consensus pick is Pacquia but this wouldn't be that big of a fight if it were that easy.

    I would like Cotto to win, for the reason that if he hadn't lost to Margarito, he would've been p4p king.

    Cotto has underrated speed ... he has power ... and probably a more technical boxer than Pacquiao _ if he lands to the body early and often, he can pull off a late rounds stoppage.

    I can see Pacquiao trying to overwhelm him with speed and ineffective boxing ...

    Id love too see Cotto win this, i do think if he can negoatiate the early rounds he may win on a split decision however it will be close

    Cotto can take Pacquiao to the distance, but i'm not sure that Cotto can stand up to Pacquiao's punch ... one thing that Pacquiao has improved in is pot shotting !

    last couple of cotto's fight... mostly with clottely he was tired in the latter rounds.... it was clottely's for the taking but he was tired too...

    pacquiao has a heart of a champion and wont give up.... i predict someone will get knocked down... hopefully cotto

    Pacquiao by close decision.

    He will land the cleaner blows but Cotto has enough power and skill to cause Manny serious problems.

    Cotto may get wobbled once or twice and Pacquiao may be forced to the ropes quite a bit

    Cotto via tko, logically speaking it can no other way. Though I am prepared for the self described upset, this is boxing and it can surely be unpredictable. I'm extremely confident in my pick, I'd also like to go on recorded professing my utter respect for Pac as a p4p fighter and all around rare talent. I think there where tons of other options availble for him to add on to his legacy, he has walked into trap IMO one that will bring him a world of hurt.

    Im starting to lean towards Pac winning this on points actually...but I picked him to stop Cotto.

    He aint losing either way.
