    Hatton didn't KO Paulie, If Paulie's corner didn't threw the towel he would have gone the distance. Paulie wasn't hurt enough to get stop.

    I am a big Pac fan bit honestly I would rather see Pac fight PBF than Cotto.

    1st of all people are already dismissing Cotto due to his loss to Margo so Pac will not get full credit if he beats Cotto.

    2nd Cotto destroys fighter from top to bottom. PBF will just potshot and run.

    U can't always take the huggers seriously. There's nothing you can do or say to convince the masses otherwise. Prime example would be the gentalmen that rates Hatton higher than Cotto based soely on comparing Cotto and Hattons preformances against the magic man. Another example is claiming Manny has a superior skill set when compared to Cotto when in fact pac's jab is nowhere near as technically sound as Cotto's Manny's uniquely executed swarmer style is what distinguishes his fighting talent not his so called superior skill set. This is what makes the world go round and why even though some may feel Manny tattoos Cotto or Cotto batters Manny we will all be spending $49.95 on Nov 14th

    Well if you consider the posts you just put up. You have Cotto fans and Pac haters here in this list.

    I too think Cotto will win, but a vast majority of NEUTRAL boxing fans and critics think Pac has this in the bag.

    I picked Pac over Dlh and Hatton, and ileven though I knew he'd win he still
    Managed to shock me each time

    So if theres one thing i've learned its that we can't measure Pac, by his most recent performance, we can only assume he will be even better then he was against
    Hatton come Nov.

    But at the same time Cotto has survived adversity many times, he's been
    In with bigger guys, faster guys, tougher guys, harder hitters, and better technicians, he's seen it all, and outside of his 1 controversial loss he's dealt with it all, the man is a prodigy

    So realistically this is a pick em', a complete toss up, you can make a case for either fighter... Both men can take a good shot, but can they take each others best? Both men can be hit and can be hurt but very hard to even knock off there feet, and at the same time both men are capable being illusive and hard to catch, not to mention both are very good combination punchers and even counterpunchers, and they also seem to thrive on adversity

    I can see this fight ending early for both fighters, or being a long battle for either fighter, so this goes without saying but I can see either one winning...

    Cotto hasn't faced such a multi level threat since Mosley, and even though he's smaller he is the best fighter in the sport and he is in his prime

    And Pac hasn't faced such a well rounded and overall talented prime fighter since JMM, and even if many people will say Marquez is the superior fighter compared to Cotto, Marquez has been known foe hitting though canvas (even though he always gets up) and not to mention Marquez was not as physically equipped as Cotto is

    All I can say is it's gonna be amazing, and I can see why people think Cotto will lose, although I do think people are reading to much into the Clottey fight, the man had the worse cut I've seen all year and still put up a brave victory with just 1 eye

    and as for Pacs critics pointing out the weight drained DLH and the ez wins over the 1 dimensional Diaz and Hatton, that may be true, maybe they were all right for him, but even so not just anybody could of beaten them 3 that easily, it take a special fighter to do what he did, how he did it

    But yeah, moral of the story is let's just sit back and enjoy what will most likely be one of if not THE most memorable fight of the decade, and give respect to these 2 warriors

    Cotto has a chance but i would say its less then 30%.....he has to become a counter-puncher, like he showed when he was younger.....cotto is underrated in this department......but if he is the agressor, I think manny will pick him apart.....and agression will be cotto's downfall...

    The best way to beat any fighter is to exploit their weaknesses with your strengths. Cotto is an excellent bodypuncher and I guarantee you he will hurt Manny to the body and Manny will start fighting off of his back foot and that's when Cotto will take over.

    well, hatton was supposed to be an excellent body puncher too.... hatton did try to land a few in those two rounds but was unsuccessful in doing so due to pac's speed and movement.

    cotto has a chance. all he has to do is to land a big shot on pac. pac has the advantage in speed and footwork (imo) but cotto is the stronger fighter. i'm a pacfan but i'm not really that confident. i still think that this is a 50:50 fight.

    Are you seriously telling me Cotto only has a chance in this fight becaue he's the naturally heavier guy, the naturally stronger guy? That's a disservice to Miguel in my view, seeling him short!

    People are going on like Pacquiao is invincible, but remember, no one is, no matter how competent they are! With people acting like Pacquiao is going to destry Cotto, if Cotto emerges victorious, they better no try to take the credit away from Cotto!
