    Manny Pacquiao does not think that Miguel Cotto will have any size advantage when the two fighters meet on November 14. "I think that the size is not a big difference. He's just a little bit bigger than me,"

    "It doesn't matter, the size. What we need to do is train hard and see who is the best in the ring. Miguel Cotto is also a good fighter and he's a champion. I'm just a challenger here for his belt, WBO, so I need to work hard for this fight in training,".

    Cotto is a slightly small welter Pac just had a chance to measured himself up against Cotto and is saying 'hey he's not that much bigger than me at all'.

    Height wise Manny is correct. Cotto is only a 1/2 inch taller. He'll feel the size difference when he steps into the ring at about 145 and Cotto is in at about 165.

    Manny will probably weigh come in at 148 fight night and Cotto 160.

    Cotto will be closer to 165-170. He usually balloons up to about an extra 20 pounds. They haven't been posting the fight night weights lately, but they say he went up to 168 against Margo.

    If Cotto decides to "act like the bigger man," I think Pac will see that he is wrong on fight night.

    Hahaha sorry dude but I ain't buyin it. Cotto is not a big welterweight I can't believe he blows up to 168. If he did against Margarito can you imagine how heavy Tony was?? 200 pounds ?!?!

    I know Cotto is not considered a big WW - He's one of these freak of nature guys who is heavier than he looks. Probably got heavy bones or something. Regardless - he will outweigh Manny by a considerable amount.

    I think by this time, Pacquiao can handle a little more bodyweight reinforcement without losing speed. 152-153 should be good. Then again, I think it was said that he was weighing 151 before the press tour, so maybe he does go into fight night again below 150.

    They might not be that far off in weight on fight night but the strength of Cotto and the power will be something like Pac has never felt. I dont see how Pac can be the favorite and I give him a slim chance. Pac will have to fight the perfect technical fight for 12 rounds to get the victory and I just dont see him as that kind of technician. If he does beat Cotto in my eyes that would be huge and there would be no excuses on my part because Cotto is in his prime and one of the top 3 welters out there with floyd and Mosley being the others.
