    i've always liked pac, but i'm a cotto fan all the way. Only thing is i know roach will have uppercuts in his game plan. I hope cotto is ready for it.

    This is Cotto's last shot to me. I think he has to look impressive or he is done. Just hope that he looks better than the Clottey fight. No prediction for me, pac has proven me wrong to many times lol

    I think Cotto by stoppage or UD.

    I think people are putting to much emphasis on pacs win over weight drained, old, & Part-time fighter DLH and his win over super overrated Hatton.

    I also think people are dismissing Cotto's sskills based on the Margarito fight and Clottey fight. His offense vs Marg was superb. He simply ran out of gas against a bigger & stronger fighter (which pac is neither of those 2) and against Clottey, he was FORCED to box for 7 or 8 rounds b/c of that cut, not b/c of Clottey's pressure. He had to change his game plan b/c otherwise he would risk the cut worsening.

    While possible, I do believe it is highly unlikely that Pac hit's harder than Zab, Mosley, or Margarito. also, people keep talking about Pac pressuring cotto. That is also unlikely b/c Pac will not be physicallly able to impose his size on cotto. cotto is just too big.

    the only way pac can win this IMO is to stay on the outside the whole fight usiing "in & out" quick combos. But i think pac is too much of a warrior to stick to that type of plan, which will be his downfall.

    however, i will say this. If pac beats Cotto, that victory would TRUMP any accomplishment mayweather has ever had PERIOD. If cotto beats pac, I think it will be a good win, not a great one simply b/c of pac's natural size.

    I'm going with the speed of Pacquiao. Late stoppage on cuts.

    cotto is powerful but slow. pac's game plan is attack and retreat. there is no way he will be standing toe to toe with cotto. Cotto will have his body shots and will have some moments but thats about it. Pac's being hit by sticks thousand times and further strenghtening in that area will help him enough. cotto is not a master counter puncher. cotto gets tired easily in the later rounds. pac overwhelms cotto's face most of the time. speed kills. pac takes this via TKO in 8 or later.

    I think Pac UD i really do, I cant see either fighter knocking the other out aside maybe some flash knockdowns, and pac is going to win more rounds imo. A fan of both boxers though, just think this is pacs fight.

    Round 1 - Cotto puts the guard up and bravely throws a few. Then, Pac catches him around the gloves, contacting hard enough to make Cotto think 'F*ck, thats gonna hurt when my glove isn't there'.

    Round 2- Cotto thinks he at least has to try. Pac smacks him roundly on the side of the head and sends him reeling. The guard comes up for the remainder of the round and Cotto slinks through - just.

    Round 3 - Cotto comes out looking worried but soon realised he has nothing to worry about as he is laid on the canvas with lots of blood and wondering what happened.

    The End, and everyone realises Cotto is finished and looks like a shadow of his former self. Too slow and looks far too punch wary nowadays. Pac will walk this.

    No question in my mind this one is going to a NC.

    Cannot wait for this. I'm a huge Cotto fan. I'm rooting for him in this one but think Pacman will take it late. I think cotto will have to improve on the clottey performance.

    I'm gonna wait for Roach to pick the round - the man doesnt seem to get much wrong nowadays!

    This would be a truly remarkable feat if Pac wins this - I'll be routing for him
