    same sh*t different opponent....

    Diaz will bulldoze Pac back to SF

    Hoya KO's pac by a jab

    Hatton would body punch pac to pieces

    Cotto will make Pac taste something he doesnt tasted

    Guess we will have to wait and see the first round should answer a lot of question's.

    I also thought about this. Pacquio has been knocked down in his career and I remember Eric Morales hurt him in the first fight. On the other hand he fought big punchers in Barrera, Morales, JMM and wasnt knocked down in 7 fights. Also Oscar although not a big puncher is bigger than Cotto and couldnt hurt Pac. Then you got Cotto famous for his power but in his last fights he wasnt able to KO Margarito, Mosley and Clottey. Those guys have great chins but they didnt have any problems taking Cotto's attacks. Its hard to tell. I think Pacquiao's speed advantage might be the difference here.

    Forget speed, how about cotto has never faced someone with the skill of a prime pacquiao. The closest hes experienced is mosley.

    I see once again the sport of boxing has been dumbed down into who punches harder and who takes the better shot. You would have though people would have learnt that isnt what boxing is.

    I hope cotto isnt thinking the same way some people on this forum are. Thinking that all he has to do is pound on manny till he breaks, you dont beat the p4p 1 in his prime by doing that.

    I agree on all the points except the one highlighted. Pac was never hurt in that fight. If at all, he was hurt by a headbutt shutting one of his eyes. The scores were close but decision was unanimous in all judges.

    Andrey had some good questions and points that I asked myself before the fight...... It seems Pac has passed the test.
