Fernando Vargas (former Light Middleweight champion) says that Pacquiao is the man to beat right now because hes been beating top-notch fighters. He believes that Cotto will not be able to deal with the best pound-for-pound fighter in the game. Hector Macho Camacho (former Junior Lightweight champion) thinks that Cotto will hit and hurt Manny. Although hes not sure of a KO but he believes that Cotto is simply too strong for Manny. Teddy Atlas (ESPN Friday Night Fights Commentator) - thinks that Pacquiaos tenacity combined with the Margarito memory will get rid of Cotto inside of five maybe three rounds. He says that this will not be the epic battle that people are expecting it to be. Paulie Malignaggi (former Light Welterweight champion) - says that everyone will have their reality check on November 14 when Cotto knocks the Pacman out. Panchito Reyes (boxing trainer) has no doubt that Pacquiao will win by KO in six rounds. Floyd Mayweather Sr. (self-proclaimed best trainer in boxing) - believes that Roach made a mistake by thinking that Cotto is not that good. He says that Cotto is a good puncher who can take out the Pacman once he hits him to the body or to the head. Cory Spinks (former Light Middleweight champion) - believes that Pacquiaos speed will get him on top even though hes not as big and strong as Cotto. Emmanuel Steward (Hall of Fame boxing trainer and commentator) - says that Cotto will punish Manny with pressure, weight, size, and punching power. Even though it will be a very dangerous fight, he is confident that Cotto will still prevail. Bernard Hopkins (former undisputed world middleweight champion) - does not think Cottos face can withstand 12 rounds in this fight. Juan Baby Bull Diaz (former undisputed lightweight world champion) - says that Pacquiao is like the energizer bunny as he just keeps on punching but Cottos power will give him the victory. Yoel Judah (former fighter and father of Zab Judah) says that Pacquiao will slip and dip and give Cotto the shoulder rolls. He thinks that Pacquiao is just too fast for Cotto. Andre Dirrell (Super Six Middleweight tournament contender) - says that Cotto is too slow and that he has never seen anyone get in and get out as well as Pacquiao during his fights. He is confident Pacquiao will win either by knockout or unanimous decision. Felix Trinidad (former Light Middleweight & Middleweight champion) - thinks that Pacquiao wont be a full Welterweight on the night of the fight and that Cotto will start taking over by rounds 7,8, or 9. He believes Cotto will win by decision or even by knockout. James Lights Out Toney (six-division world champion fighter) says that Cotto is an overhyped class B fighter courtesy of his promoter Bob Arum. He believes Pacquiao will destroy Cotto because of his speed and power. Ronnie Shields (boxing trainer) - says he is going with Cotto in this fight as the only person who ever stopped him was Margarito whom he thinks was on to something during their fight .
For once, the old crack addict is on to something. Every body has spotted Cotto's flaws over the years, yet the only guy to beat him was someone who possibly cheated and had a styles advantage. Tells you something. I think too many people are tricked by the Manny mirage.
pacs footspeed will be to much for cotto, he needs to plant his feet to punch, and pac will land first and clean to often.
