Im goin with Cotto by stoppage.. Somewhere around the 10th.. I really like Cotto top fighter and seems a top guy too.. :good
i learnt to never pick against Pac, or his opponent would get dismantled and whooped on! sorry oscar & hatton..oh & mr Cotto.
I got 6-1 for Cotto on points off Betfred so im going to stick on that .. Ive changed my mind so many times on this fight .. Its a 50/50 fight for me, Is Cotto weathered and on the slide ?? Has Pac's last 2 fights distorted the truth on how good he really is with the truly great Floyd Mayweather on the horizon .. Oscar De La Hoya wasnt fit to be in the ring with Pac at 147 and Hatton fought like an over excited 10 fight rookie .. Cotto will be Pac's biggest and toughest test, Cotto has been in with some decent Welterweights in Mosley, Clottey, Margarito and did well with these big guys, i also dont think Pac will be able to land clean on Cotto as easy as he has done with recent opponents .. Im on the fence with this one, I want Pac to win so the mega fight with Floyd happens, as for Pac v Floyd, that will be one way domination, Mayweather is in a totally different league, the latest in the line of boxing artists that include Ray Robinson, Leonard, Whitaker and Roy Jones ....
I've always favoured Cotto to win this one ever since the fight was first announced. I think a late stoppage, somewhere around the 9th.
It seems to me that top rank and the WBO etc are all trying to set Cotto up for a fall but hopefully the 145 limit isnt too much of a hindrence to him coz a 100% Cotto beats Pacman withought too much trouble.
I'm there with the "heart says Cotto, head says Pacquiao". But hopefully a mid to late stoppage for Cotto!
