    We're talking about Pacquiao's best, well placed stuff.. We know Freddie Roach more than likely believes so. He's guaranteed a knockout.

    Yes, Pacquiao will undoubtedly be able to hurt him. The question is, to what degree?

    If hurt means wobble him then yes. If hurt means KTFO then I'm undecided. Cotto is still a legit welter. He's big and powerful.

    We dont know. This fight is one of the most intriguing fights ever. If Pac manages to stop Cotto. You can ignore ESB, writers, experts and sit back in your couch. You know youve just witnessed legend.

    He couldn't hurt Oscar ..... he was more like a pest !!!!

    If Cotto has his eyes closed and his guard down like Hatton ....he might get stunned....I don't see it beyond that!!!

    No, I don't believe either fighter can honestly. Accumulation stoppage if there is a stoppage at all.

    We dont know. Pac has now over a year acclimated at this weight. Just like you cannot compare a DLH to Cotto. I wouldnt compare the Pac that fought DLH to this one. This one is w/o a doubt a sturdier built, more explosive version.

    Of course. A temple shot doesnt need to be hard to make the guy lose balance...even a light punch to the chin can hurt anyone who doesnt see the punch coming. With Pacman's speed he can definitely land something Cotto doesnt see coming and get hurt.

    Oscar got the beating of his life. I was so sorry for him that night. If he didnt go in the corner and used the ropes, would have been KO'd.

    I don't think so, not unless Cotto rushes onto something which is unlikely since he's quite methodical.

    Pac gonna have to break him down but I'm leaning towards this one lasting the distance actually. I've changed my mind on that over the months.

    Cotto can certainly hurt the smaller Pac if he lands a solid shot which I think he is capable of.
