Pacquiao-Cotto II at 154 lbs + Manny Steward: Who Wins & Why?

After the last beat down do you honestly think Cotto has a chance in hell in a rematch with only a change of trainer? The amount of nuthuggetry that spills out over a recent win here :verysad yeesh! atsch

 

Cotto gets stopped earlier, it's usually easier for a guy to win in the rematch I say Pacman KO in 8

 

look at the poll result, only a handful does.

 

Cotto is a shot fighter, he'd get beat worse this time, Manny Steward changes nothing, Cotto didn't look good against the C Class fighter he was facing

 

Beating yuri foreman doesn't mean you are ready for the 2nd best fighter in the world.

 

this thread aint talking about Floyd.

 

Not my fault Floyd is on your mind so much you're mixing manny up with him.atsch

 

Im not sure about this one. Isn't Manny substantially smaller than Cotto? He shouldn't even be fighting at 147, let alone 154. I know he beat cotto at welter, but at 154, cotto would be significantly larger, weigh at least 160, and manny can't even get past 150. He's P4P #1, but that doesn't mean the deck should always be stacked against him.

 

That`s exactly why it`d be interesting to see how this fight would turn out. Pacquiao`s legacy is already set in stone. Fighting Mayweather and getting an 8th world title is just putting icing on the cake.

 

What are you talking about? Emmanuel would AZZk for a catchweight. He would probably have the same weight as he did on fight night for the first Cotto fight. He'll win just like last time, but it might be easier or harder.

If I was Steward I wouldn't let it happen. Cotto still needs time to learn and develop under his new trainer. 2-3 moar fights should be enough to gauge whether Cotto can beat the 2nd best fighter in the world, one who just beat him dominantly and recently.
