    Cotto is a strong f'ing bull. Yes, Pac has blistering speed but Cotto isnt molasses and quite a bit of his work is to the body. I cant see Pacman winning...

    If I am wrong, I will glady eat my words...

    I can see Pac beating Cotto, but I can see Cotto beating Pac. I give Pac a slight edge, but very close.

    I can see Pac outboxing Cotto, by consistently beating him to the punch. As explosive as Pac is, I really don't think he will be knocking Cotto out. On the other hand, Cotto's only chance is a KO imo.

    Speed kills.... that is what I heard before the Mosley fight. The big question in this fight will be Cotto stamina. That will be the key of the fight

    I have respect and admiration for both warriors. I just want to see them both put on great performance. I'm giving Cotto the edge. I know he's the slower fighter but he's got some great timing. If he can time Manny right as he comes in and out with his jab early in the fight he'll nullify Pacs speed.

    If Manny does come out the winner, he might come out pretty banged up. And might be too banged up to compete with Mayweather. Cotto is tough and skilled, he's gonna hit Manny flush, head or body... any thoughts?

    are u blind? Pac darts in and out and cotto plods. Cotto's hand speed is ok and is only OK... cotto's only chance is to get lucky with a big punch otherwise is a steady beating from pac till he quits.

    If you can't see Pac beating Cotto you lack imagination. There's nothing more to say.

    Cotto has shown great effiency against quick southpaws, and also against quickness in general. Methinks he takes this one in a barnburner...

    That goes for both fighters. It's easy to see either one win especially with imagination.

    I'm sorry but Manny was almost out clased by JMM and is he super fast ?? No where was Manny's lightning speed in those fights ? The more and more I hear about his speed the more overratted it gets .


    If anyone thinks Manny is going to just dart In and out against Miguel they will be in for a rude awakening . Its going to be as entertaing as the morales fight the 1 st one. Both guys are going to have their moments but due to size and power I see Cotto beating the smaller man even by ko . If I'm wrong ill eat my crow !
