everyone is saying pacman will ko cotto. or pacman will outbox cotto. all that is bs. there is no way pacman is a better boxer than cotto period i dont see it. yes, he is faster thats all. I see cotto taking his time chopping him down and by the 8th it will be all over. Roach made a mistake picking Cotto as a tuneup for PBF. Pac is not god people. imo
We must all remember the pressue is all on Pacquiao, not Cotto. Manny is the favourite, he's recognised by most as the NO.1 P4P & the heat is on for him to remain in such a position! Pacquiao is only going to have seven weeks training for Cotto - Manny was scheduled to start camp today, while Cotto has been in training for weeks! No disrespect intended, but Cotto is an entirely different proposition to that of De La Hoya & Hatton! Even against Margarito, Cotto was not knocked out, he took some big shots & still kept coming! I do not see how Pacquiao can seriously dent Cotto? Freddy Roach has said he's does not believe Pacquiao will win by TKO or KO, which suggests Pacquiao strategy will all about hitting & moving, not being a staationery target for too long at all. Cotto will probably have that at the back of his mind, therefore I epect him to be in the shape of his life come Nov 15, because he will need to execute cutting off the ring effectively! This has the making's of a great, great fight, a classic! Pacquiao needs to fix up & fast because Cotto is confident & is coming to win!
are you picking Cotto despite the fight being at 145 and despite claims that he was ruined by Margarito?
If you're picking Cotto by late KO, you better not take your ass to the fridge for a beer thinking you will see a fight when you get back. Cotto in under 3.
I think COtto will win too. But I dont know about a KO. People that says Cotto is not the same since Margarito are forgettin how tough is Joshua Clottey. Cotto is not the first fighter to have a hard time against Clottey
Cotto by embarassment. Pac will have the weight to blame and fall back on. Pac will then fight David Diaz again but this time for a Diamond catchweight belt. Then Pac will fight Khan in England for a vacant super diamond belt of some sort and Pac will tecqniqally be dubbed a 20 weight divison champ and surpass SRR in the eyes of Philipine fans who only know of Pac and Gary Penalosa.
Actually I think he is a better fighter after the Margie fight....as far as the weight issue he came in at 146 for Clottey and has maintained his conditioning... As far as Cotto being " ruined " thats a claim being made by you guys looking through the microscope without removing the lens cap !!!! Cotto will flat out STARCH Manny and have him belly up in the 7th !!!!
i wont go as far and say Cotto is gonna destroy pac but i think he is gonna whoop him preaty bad, but im no Cotto Fan you know...
i just dont beleive pac has the power to back him up like margo. plus cotto boxxes better than pac. cotto is know to cut off the ring pretty good. hes not to going to lay down. hes coming to fight and pac is going down this fight.
