    Lose and call it a career. Im betting big on this fight but Im not confident (could be a suckers bet). I know for a fact that this is looming over Cottos (or any athlete) mental state, the what ifs, the quickness of Pacs feet, the angles, how bout that left, whens that coming, what if I feel his punches, what if I cant get him into the ropes. These things are becoming magnified as the fight gets nearer. Pressures on, but for Cotto, you can almost see it in his demeanor.

    \ I honestly don't think he's that concerned with Pac and is very confident about this fight. I think there will always be pressure with any type of fight of this magnitude, and Im sure he feels it, just like any other athlete would, but I suspect he will come into this with something to prove since so many people are doubting and I am sure he feels disrespected by many outsiders prediction of him losing the fight.

    Cotto has been there with many other great fighters and champions. He's an experienced fighter and has trained well enough for this fight. If anything considering how bad the odds are against him, I feel he is going to come in to this fight more motivated and confident than he has ever been. :deal
