Miguel Cotto picks Pacquiao to defeat Mayweather

Of course he is riding with Manny

 

Definitely true

Mayweather usually doesn't do it though so I definitely don't see a spectacular KO in favor of Mayweather

Its either Mayweather by dominant UD or Pac win in my mind

 

lies. he did not made a pick

 

He doesn't pick him he is only saying that because he is with roach and wants to show some loyalty

 

Yep.

 

I too used to like Cotto up to his fight with Margarito. Tony Margarito LEGITIMATELY beat the life out of Cotto. Cotto never queried anything . Not until the ludicrous claim by Nazim Richardson that "Plaster Blocks" fell out of Margarito's wraps. Then he seized on calling Margarito a cheat. He wouldn't rematch Margarito until he knew Tony's eye had been permanently damaged even then he couldn't beat him legitimately. He took Martinez because he knew his legs were gone. Sorry but in my book Cotto is a :| prima donna

 

:rofl

Ive wondered recently how much of his antics recently have been because of the marg fight, the doubt has been put in the minds of some fans as to margs career and even some boxers themselves, and to have the thought implanted that your first loss could have been down to foul play could have hard to swallow, might be on his mind now when he gets into rough waters "am I struggling because my opponent is better or because he has given himself an unfair advantage", could be part reason why he wont go for top fighters as they might have a greater chance to be on something.

It would explain why a fan favourite like cotto - known for being a warrior who takes all challanges has gone in reverse, I could (am prob am) all wrong here, just sad as it does look like cotto has changed.

 

I think it is also because this is what fighters sometimes do when they are near the end of their career and they have nothing left to prove.

 

Three out of the opponents, they fought alike gave it to Floyd, while the other two gave it to Pac. Marquez, Mosley, and Hatton pick Floyd to win. De la hoya has always gone against Mayweather. I believe he still feels a bit salty from being dethroned by Floyd. Cotto on the other hand, is being trained by Roach. I believe his opinion, is based off of his relationship with roach now. It would look real bad on his apart to predict the nemesis of his trainer, as the winner of the fight. Cotto said Pac ability to maneuver around the ring gives him the advantage, but Marquez who lack Floyds foot work and speed gave Pac problems all four times they fought. Keep in mind, he fought the Pac of old, and still gave him tremendous problems. That tells me that Pac so called advantage won't be that much of a problem.

 

Could be, likely... Guys who have direct ties to either camp are not really in a fair light.

 

Shut up you can't tell ****. All you're doing is assuming. It's obvious he's picking Manny due to the wild card/roach affiliation.

 

it's just a very intriguing fight... Sometimes you think about Mayweather's strengths and you think 'PAc has no chance', then you think about Pac's strengths and you think 'Floyd is in major trouble'... when these two incredibly gifted fighters face each other, there is no telling what will happen. It could be argued that Manny is the greatest offensive fighter ever and Floyd greatest defensive fighter ever. Manny gives Tyson a run for his $$ on offensive skills and Floyd is as good a defensive boxer as anyone in history

 

irrelevant.... Cotto had fought both fighters... Jleon on the other hand is a mayweather groupie/fighter.
