I'm 50-50 at the moment. Pac has never faced somebody with the size and power of Cotto and while Cotto has beat fast fighters in the past, Pac's footspeed/footwork is something new for him to deal with.

PAC trains on time PAC destroys Cotto PAC does not train on Time Cotto Murders PAC WILL wait for final comments of Coach Freddie Roach Seems PAC is taking Cotto lightly coz Cotto has been training for about 3 weeks already while pac has not reported to the gym yet. If PAC does not train on time, Cotto Destroys PAC in 3 rounds. Nobody to blame but PAC himself. 101% credit goes to Cotto. No problem. Cotto the better boxer among the two. Some people learn the hard way. I hope PAC trains soon!
its almost a 50-50 fight. but if you put a gun on my head to bet, ill take the pacman.. (i just feel he has a little edge against cotto on this one.) :good IMHO a fight with PBF is more difficult though. PBF is a lot smarter, quicker, and the most defensive fighter that pac is s goin to face. PBF by decision. :think But if PAC wins impressively against Cotto. ( like dominating majority of the rounds leading to a 8th-10th round Ko) then, ill be more confident of a pacman win against mayweather if they meet in the future. :thumbsup
you think pac (or anyone for that matter) would have looked impressive against josh ****in clottey with a gaping hole in their face for 9 rounds? i actually thought how cotto fought that fight was pretty impressive, given the circumstances and the guy he was fighting.
cotto's dropping down for this fight isn't he? if that's true i don't think it's a move in his favour.
Sure Cotto will have his monments in the mid rounds.....then he gasses out, pac overwhelms his ass, couple of low - blows from cott... .fight goes on, pac is n top of him again....cotto eating a bunch of straight left...ref stops fight...PAC BY KO 10
I honestly think this is simple... PAC will try to hurt Cotto in the beggining of the fight and will realize that Cotto's chin is not going to be tested at the beggining of the fight. He will learn then how's it feel to be hit flush by a guy who knows how to hurt and is not going to be drained like Oscar nor as easy to hit as Hatton by any means. Cotto is already 3 weeks into training... don't count for him to be tired during the last rounds... Pac is in for hell this time and the fact that he appears to train in his homeland and it looks as if he is taking the fight lightly because his advisors are telling him that Cotto is damage goods it's all going to come down to him and bite him in the ass. Mark my words.
It is pretty early but what's going to change by then? Maybe the addition of an elite trainer by Cotto or how they'll look at the weigh in. I guess I answered my own ?
