    Pac has reached the limit.
    Cotto will bottom him out.

    MC will win this by either UD/T.K.O.
    (Papa Roach will be throwing in the towel)

    Too many are on the Pussiao bandwagon....

    Wonder what will happen when Cotto starches him in 7 !!!!!

    I agree, if pac does not do damage to cotto in the first half of the fight I think pac lose's, I Pick cotto to win. A lot of people are underestimating cotto:nono

    food for thought and a very good point, by a body shot! by a smaller man Cotto is a great body puncher, Pac is short and right there.

    Good post Rafael, i agree with you this will be MP's hardest test to date- he'll be in there with a legitimate, in his prime (younger than MP as well) Cotto...I think this is a pick 'em fight and normally i would lean with Cotto but the way MP's rolled through his last few opponents (albeit guys who weren't in their primes) makes me hesitate to pick an outright winner now...

    Im in the same boat, but then I look at the guys Cotto has been faceing and I look at Manny's opponents and I think that goes a long way in makeing Pac look invincible and Cotto ordinary! sort of what Foreman looked like after pounding Frazier. No one thought Ali would win and yet?
    again I need to see the 24/7, the training camps and physical as well as mental states of the fighters leading up to the fight to make a final decision, right now something tells me Cotto....... but we shall see.

    i share the same opinion man. i love pac, but i dont see him bulldozing cotto at all. this is gonna be a tough fight, and the winner deserves a lot praise.

    Cotto by decapitation. Yeah I said it. It needed to be said, so I said it.

    Not to mention, I think Cotto has lost something since his lost to Margarito, and Im still picking him to take Pac's head off.

    I agree, a lot are definitely underestimating Cotto, and these are the same people that keeps on whining about Pac wanting the belt on the line. If they were thinking clearly, and knows just how good this fight for both fighters, making it an exhibition fight since there's no title at stake, makes it less meaningful should either one win.

    This fight is going to be harder than people think i would not be surprised if the stopped fighter is Pac.

    Im on The Fence with this one
    keep changing my mind who will win ???
    cotto is definatley the best fighter pac has faced since moving up
    If cotto had the workrate of hatton with his own skills then manny is in for a tough night!!!!
    The Thing is 'He Doesn't'
    cotto likes to work at his own pace and if you don't let him and change
    the rythm ....he doesn't like it!!!!
    even malignaggi boxed circles around him ....for a while anyway
    And Pac is alot faster and stronger than paulie
    we didn't really see what hatton's power was like against manny as rickys
    defence was terrible ......BUT on the flip side miguels is Not!!!!

    I Think The Fight comes down to IF Manny can take Miguels punches or be elusive enough to slip them.
    But manny can't run too much he has to Land Shots and i can see him causing facial damage to miguel.
    However if manny fights the way he does full on with no fear :bbb
    At Some point in the fight cotto is going to land:deal
    And we will see if manny can take it ????

    MY PREDICTION - Someone is going down ....don't know who tho!!!!!

    The Real Winner here is Floyd who will prob fight the winner in march 2010

    I don't think it will be an easy fight for either fighter. I give Pac an edge, but.........

    Cotto can punch hard, so anything could happen.
