I wrote this to show how easy it is to pick either fighter come November.

Go Cotto!

10 - Don't count on Cotto being damged goods. People - including Freddie Roach said the same about Hopkins before he whupped
Kelly Pavlik. People thought it was over for Mosley, yet look what he did to Margarito. Sure, Cotto didn't look great against Clottey,
but for someone who was supposedly "shot", he held up pretty well against a dangerous, much avoided fighter who re-hydrated to 168 pounds.

9 - Pacquiao better start training. This is the biggest challenge of his life. He is fighting someone stronger a bigger than he has ever fought.
Cotto isn't the type of guy who you train 8 weeks for. Manny needs to stop making movies and get his ass in the gym, because the only way
he will beat Cotto is with a game plan, like he had against De La Hoya, only this time, he will have to exectute it almost flawlessly.

8 - Speaking of Oscar, who was supposedly a zombie when he fought Pac, took an ass kicking, but he didn't get knocked down, or even
knocked silly. Oscar even brushed off Pacquiao's punching power. Why would he say the guy couldn't hit if he thought he couldn't?
Oscar is a promoter, and if he thought Pac could punch, I sure he would have said so.

7 - Roach in his heart of hearts, wanted this fight to be at 143, but because of greed and pressure put on by Bob Arum, was forced to
fight at a much dangerous weight. Roahc knows this will be quite a task for Manny, which is probably why he has publicly complained
about the training situation.

6 - Manny could have fought someone else besides Cotto. They didn't have to pick someone so dangerous, but they did, because after
a string of big wins, suddenly Pacquiao is Superman. Pac could have fought Tim Bradley, Edwin Valero, and even Micheal Katsidis, but
Cotto was chosen because of money.

Go Pacquiao!

5 - Stop using the "Margarito had loaded gloves" excuse as to why Cotto lost. Margarito walked through everything Cotto threw as if he had
plaster on his face. Nobody can prove Margarito did anything fishy that fight, and the point is moot, because like I said, despite what he
may have had in his gloves, he still took many shots from Cotto, and kept coming forward.

4 - Pacquiao has suprised us before. Many people thought he was biting off more than he could chew against De La Hoya. Many people thought
Hatton would wear him down, but he proved everyone wrong.

3 - Pacquiao has a excellent chance of winning if he uses the same dart in, throw punches, jump back out strategy against Cotto as he did
against De La Hoya. Cotto may not wilt as easily, but if Manny can do this successfully, his face might end up being beaten into a pulp.

2 - A panel of 26 experts predicted a winner, and every single one picked Pacquiao. This was a panel with some well known writers, trainers, and
fighters - guys who know more about boxing than most of us do. How can 26 guys be wrong?

1 - It is Pacquiao's time. People are saying that he his biting off more than he can chew, that this will be his downfall, but who is to say? Maybe
he truly is at a point in his career where he is invincible. All good things must come to an end, but perhaps it just isn't time yet!

10 Cotto is not Shane Mosley or Bernard Hopkins.

9 Agree

8 :blurp How can you say that Osar was not knocked or wobbled by Manny's punches? Did you even see the fight? During the later 7th and 8th round, Oscar would've gone down if the ropes were not holding him. You should've also seen his face. It looked like was stung by bees! One more round and he would've gone down!

6 Of course, boxing and other sports revolve in Manny but this time fight Cotto is one of his best choices. Fight Valero the bum, and Katsidis will be boring and Manny will just kill them.

5 Did Pacquiao say that?

2 Many are picking Manny to win because of the style match up, not to mention that Manny did so well during his last 3 fights.
