    What weight would they be fighting at?

    147? I'd go for Cotto late round T/KO

    140? I'd probably go for Pacman by UD

    if clottey was hitting cotto cleanly, who is somewaht feather-fisted....

    i see manny putting cotto on his ass, and this fight will be over in 7 or less.....

    the p4p miguel cotto that version, was buried by a guy named antonio margarito, and all of cotto's dreams and aspirations with it.....

    very sad story, but true

    Could be interesting because as someone said earlier in the thread, Cotto loves that little momentary pause to set himself before throwing a combination

    Pacquaio would pounce on those pauses


    But I'd go for Cotto, Pacquiao's achievements have been somewhat logic defying and somewhere along the line jumping 17 lbs in no time at all is going to get him beat up...

    In my opinion he got Hatton and Oscar at very opportune times. Cotto is still very much live and he's a very, very good 147 fighter.

    Cotto would kill him but thats if Pac can even make welter. If he cant then he should go fight in a division where he can make the weight. Pac seems to avoid fights where he doesnt have some sort of advantage. If you cant make 147lbs then dont fight there, simple!

    He can 'make' welter.

    I mean actually have the fight at welter rather than some catchweight where Cotto ends up drained and dehydrated.

    i voted Pac by T/KO, on the basis that if its the same Cotto as the other night it will end mid to late rounds!

    If the cut was the problem and his self-belief is now back, then i see a Cotto win.....

    I'm not a Pacquiao fan,but what was his advantage vs Hatton?

    When you are the best fighter in the world,you tend to have advantages over all opponents

    I think Pac Man would win. He would be too quick and strong for Cotto who would struggle to avoid his punches and then get stopped late in the fight.

    At the moment I have decide never to back anyone other than pacquio after my last prediction went south.
