    Cotto is defenitely motivated for this fight just like hatton and delahoya was. They both thought they would be too strong for pac, boy were they wrong:lol: Cotto better not get overconfident thinking he only needs one shot to put pac away cuz the other 2 who thought one shot would be good enough got TKO/KO.

    Stil Cotto all the way...

    people were just floating on how good THEY thought Hatton was.

    Cotto is another beast altogether.

    Pac should be the underdog at the first place

    agree. i was suprised that lots of people, even non pacfans, are picking him to win against the bigger cotto, and they're picking him to win by KO. i pick pac to win by ko, but its more of a wish than a prediction. imo ots a 50:50.

    it's always been 50/50 with me with pac the underdog seeing he is going up another weight against someone who truly belongs there. never bought into that cotto had difficulties w clottey rubbish. cotto did what he needed to do with an eye gash, and he earned my respect with how he showed his physical strength in that fight. i honestly was quite concerned for pac in this fight.

    however, contrary to this thread i actually am a bit relieved and leaning a bit more to pac now. their latest pic's showed pac isn't as small as i imagined him against cotto.

    in fact, i just realized the reason i thought cotto was so huge was because his body looks so muscular in relation to his head :lol:, and pac looks small coz his body looks undeveloped in relation to the size of his head :D

    Because when the fight was signed, Cotto's struggles against Clottey were still fresh in most people's minds. Now that we're a little further out, people are seeing the match a bit more clearly.

    I have always thought Cotto could win this. He has all the tools to beat Pacman. I just hope lets those hands go.

    I have always said that Cotto is going to win but over all, I agree with you... I feeel that this is the main reason.
