    if pac would not carry the weight difference and cotto digs in to the body enough to slow pacman, he has a great shot.

    In either scenario, I think Freddie Roach is smart enough to realize that Cotto is a much safer option than Mosley.

    roach would also be smart enough to take the bigger purse because he knew that this could very well be pac's last fight if not his last few fights.

    Actually, you can see people saying COTTO was already done when he fought MARGO after the PACMAN decapitate him! If he fights MOSLEY, after the fight, he's already washed up , old and shot. If he fights GAYWEATHER, after the fight, ring rust and old already. Sane thing with MARQUEZ, old and worn out chasing PACMAN. :hat

    Cotto will have 2 eyes again so I favor him by late stoppage.

    Cotto is now shot because he struggled with a very good fighter in Clottey after having been brutally cut by a vicious head butt? Dude, sign out and NEVER come back.

    Most fighters would have taken the easy way out after the cut.

    Cotto's eyes is not trained or fast enough to see pac's punches!

    Of course Cotto has a chance but I believe Pac's speed is tooo much for
    Cotto. Yes, I know Cotto can handle big punches from big guys but I'm not too sure if he can handle pac's speed.

    All I can say is that ALL PAC's opponents looks slow in the ring. Cotto isn't an execption!

    And Cotto at around 165 thus a 15 lb difference seperating the two. If you couldn't see the problem about this, you must be blind.

    If Cotto agrees to a weight with Pacman whether is 144,145, or 147 is because he believes that he can make the weight. If Cotto wants 145 or nothing then is because he knows his body and knows that he will be drained at anything below that. I am confident that if they agree to a weight both fighters feel confident enough at that weight. Unlike DLH, Cotto is about boxing first money second and he will not step in a ring to be the clown (like some fighters) and cash in his millions of dollars.

    Cotto gave a spirited fight but he could not handle Pac's combination of speed, movement, skills, and strategy.
