I'm picking pac based on foot speed and hand speed + southpaw. I think those factors will trouble cotto... we all saw what happened in the earlier rounds when he fought Zab.
Roach already said Pac will not compete at 147 . . . and we all know . . . because he is too small for that weight class. Then it was Cotto who said he is willing to go down . . . just to make the fight happen . . . so it shouldn't be taken against Pacquiao. . . . if that's the case . . . better no fight at all. I believe Pac will be beaten black and blue by Cotto at 147.
Like I always said . . . all fighters are bounded by physical limitations . . . after what he has accomplished I don't want the guy getting hurt outside of his limit . . . the risk is not worth anymore.
i'm basing pac's chances with his foot speed and hand speed and then there's that southpaw stance. We all saw what Zab did... and he's nowhere near pac's mental and emotional game. :good
If Pacquiao and Roach dare enter the waters of real Welterweights then Pacquiao will lose any strength and size advantage he ever had. A boxer like Cotto is way too freaking dangerous. He has a great inside technique, good defense, good speed, and big power on both hands, not to mention he would outsize Pacquiao by a minimum of 10 solid pounds.
