    "Miguel should win. He is too strong for Manny. Miguel is a natural welterweight with a lot of resources. The key is to be prepared. If he is well prepared and imposes himself on Pacquiao early on, I'm sure he will take it before the eighth round." "I've seen some fights with Pacquiao and I've seen that the two times he has been knocked out, is from his opponents working the body. I do not think he can take Miguel's punches. He is not the same fighter like De La Hoya or Ricky Hatton."

    "Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach says Santiago is too young and not experienced enough as a trainer to know what to do in a fight on this level. Evangelista showed Santiago the ropes during their years of working together with Miguel. He says Santiago should do well. "People bring up Joe's inexperience, but they forget that for he's been working in our corner for a long time and he knows what it's like to be in that position. I think Joe will do well".

    It's good to see Evangilista support his nephew even though Miguel fired him, viciously attacked him, and put him in the hospital.

    Who says he supports him? he's just calling the fight as he sees it, whether he is in Miguel's corner or not - regardless if he got into an altercation with him and filed a lawsuit - in his eyes, he doesn't Pacquiao beating Cotto.

    I think Evangelista and Cotto will reconcile soon.

    That's not a good example...:lol: The first time Manny got knocked out, he was like 17 !!! The second time was 10 years ago and he was only 20 years old...... He was still a kid and a work in progress !

    Can Manny take Cotto's punches now, that's another story but it's ridiculous to use examples of Manny when he was just a very young guy in boxing...when most guys are normally amateurs at that point in their careers.

    I'm surprised his eyes still work after the thrashing he received from Miguel.

    They bring it up becuase it can happen and it has.... Cotto can punch and this is Mannys first real test north of 130 against a guy who can box who can punch and who has fought bigger men and beat bigger men his entire career.
