    Of course Cotto wins. Didn't you see how he was gassing in the first fight?

    Get the **** outta here. He didn't gas. He got the **** beat outta him.

    The only difference this time is that 154 lbs hits the deck instead of 150.

    A slower more plodding Cotto presents more of an easier target. The extra weight won't protect Cotto from the same punches he couldn't see the first time around. I say Pac takes him out earlier this time.

    I would favor Cotto at 154, but that's a little too big for Manny. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing this at 150/151.

    Nope, Cotto above 147 is even slower, as shown by his fight against a shot Mayorga and one leg Foreman.

    Cotto would never beat Pacuqiao. Cotto gave him every possible look he could 3 years ago and Pac still dominated him. Not a good matchup for him.

    I will buy the 154 weight for as long as Pacman will be allowed to come in at 148.

    Same result though, Pacman may not be able to floor Cotto because of the weight but Cotto will end up like Margarito.

    Anybody who thinks cotto will be magically far better at 154 is wrong. He will be a bit stronger and better but that's it. PAC still stops him late and beats him up again. Delusional IMO to think this fight is a pick em fight now....

    Cotto at 154 with 10 oz gloves and Diaz in his corner? There was good reason Pac tried to drain him back down and then went to Bradley instead.

    Why not make them face each other at 200lbs? Pac still beat Cotto.

    Bladerunner,

    That's why reporters are reporters and not fight judges. When it's close it's always going to the prominence. It worked that way in the sixties and it still works that way the underdog has to do something extra to get the point
