    Cotto fighting at 145 is going to deter him from having that stamina and
    resistance he'll need for manny. Also, cotto is a slow fighter in comparison
    to pac, and that'll cost him dearly when pac closes the gap. Add in cotto's
    beard and you have a recipe for disaster. The only shot i give miguel is his body attack, but I can see manny setting everything up with his southpaw jab, and counter with the overhand left and cotto not being able to do much about it. Manny doesn't stand in front of you and bang.
    Cotto will have a hell of a time finding pac, and he'll be eating straights all night, or he'll lay back trying to counter and get picked off with straights.
    It's his choice, but he'll eat for sure. I've always liked cotto, and think he's brilliant fighter, but speed kills in this one. Cotto's weak punch resistance,
    especially with the reduced weight, is the nail in the coffin in this one.

    Just my 2 cents, i could be wrong, but i'm usually not.

    Manny tko in 8

    I fancy Paccy to win this one too. His confidence will be incredible and Cotto looks to be fighting his demons.

    This will be a tough fight.

    MP should be most careful around the middle rounds.

    That's why COTTO is reluctant to fight PACMAN. You can tell by the way he's dictating the fight like a PRIMA DONNA. Truth is he's SCARED. What's gonna happen to him might even be worse than THE HATTON fight. :hat

    imo one things for sure, roach can come up with a gameplan and pacman can execute it very well, but i think cotto is too much for him, I think cotto stops him late.

    I'm a fan of both bruh . . . but more of a Pacfan.

    You are terribly mistaken, this fight is a 50/50 fight and there's no way Pac can dominate Cotto.

    Take note that Margarito and Clottey are big welters and Cotto gave them hell. Only Margarito was able to stopped Cotto but that's not after Margarito himself got battered in the early rounds of their fight.

    Pac can win this via decission after competitive rounds but to describe it as murder is just over HYPE.

    You may call him a boxer with a shaky chin, but I don't think "scared" would fit his description, though.

    I think Pacquiao will roll through Cotto too, possibly within 6 rounds.

    i can see both sides

    i could see pac dominating and slaughtering

    but i can see where your fear for manny comes from. he's not looked good since margarito, but theres a chance cotto could still turn into the monster who gave margarito a battering and beat mosely and judah, and if he does, pac could be in trouble

    its what makes it exciting - no one really knows whats gonna go down :bbb
