    Dude, your hate for Pac isn't healthy:lol:

    I'd be shocked, I don't see Cotto winning this fight and there is a strong possibility he gets stoped.

    So I suppose you could say I'd be shocked.

    great point. i think if cotto can keep the pressure on and keep coming forward as he normally does when not in the ring with a margarito or clottey he has a great chance of winning this fight.

    Cotto doesn't do well with guys that throw straight punches either. Pac has the best straight in the bis, comming from the left wich will set up nicely against him.

    I just think Pacs feet will be too much for Cotto, he will never really get a chance to unload, he will be kept off ballance and pot shotted into submission.

    I voted shock, it would be a huge surprise if cotto can make manny kiss the canvas especially if its from a single shot. When was the last time pacquiao was knocked down legitimately? On a side note however will this be the first time pacquiao has fought someone who will outweigh him in the ring by about 10lbs?

    Cotto is a much higher caliber fighter then Hatton and should be a much tougher fighter for Pac. Everytime I think about this fight I feel like Cotto has a great chance then I remember how slow he is on his feet. While he can fight off his backfoot when he wants to, he's not really quick on his feet. Hatton has much quicker footwork than Cotto and Pac completely destroyed him while displaying precise and quick footwork that Cotto can't backpedal/pivot and hook/side step jab against.

    It's gonna be a great fight but unless Cotto can control the ring and put Pac in spots where he can put some combos and dig into the body I see him losing this fight. I vote shock as the only way I think Cotto can drop Pac via body shot is if its through a sustained beating to the body.

    Clottey also comesi into the ring at 160 and is physically larger than Cotto and Stronger.

    I'd be thrilled, but it wouldn't be too shocking...
    However, I don't expect it to happen

    yeah. i honestly love miguel cotto throwing those thunderous hooks to the head and the body, then i look at his opponents' reaction to those shots. i ****ing love it. but this time, i'm gonna have to see it hitting pac:-( dammit!!

    i also wouldn't want cotto flattened ricky hatton style:twisted:

    just as i thought. this thread's a pre fight cheap shot at pac.

    better spit out your chuckle now else it might get stuck in your throat.

    pac as usual could leave you choking speechless again at fight night.
