Ive got this feeling Cotto is going to burst the Pacquiao bubble i see him stopping Pacquiao early or late but definately stopping him if Cotto can stand up to being hit in face by building bricks from Margarito for 11 rounds he can take Pac's shot. I like Pac i just think he's going to lose this one Cotto is going to be a lot harder than both Hatton and the weight drained De La Hoya.

Agree, I have said a few times, the first person who will be hitting Pac back after 5 rounds takes him. He has had an easy last few fights and runs out of ideas if the big left doesn't do it for him. Gonna hang it out there but I go for Cotto 7 round TKO .

I'm with you! I don't think Cotto is as much on the slide as some are insinuating. I'm not ready to predict how he wins just yet but I definitely feel it will be a Cotto victory!!!

As i say i like Pac but looking back the win over David Diaz was always going to be a win win fight for Pac then De La Hoya was beyond weight drained being rehydrated via intra venus then was Hatton shot to pieces after Mayweather?? he looked rubbish against Lazcano but good against Mallinaggi but was that because he has no power are we getting caught up in Pac hype and is this the real 140+ lbs test just a thought.

I'm absolutely convinced of this. Cotto is ging to stop Manny Pac for sure and finally force PBF into a true welterweight clash for once..... Cotto to win inside 8 rounds....

I agree to a degree about Pacs wins over Diaz, DLH & Hatton but they were impressive non the less. He did what was expected against Diaz but it was still a superb performance! He exceeded many peoples expectations against DLH although not at his best was still given the worst beating of his career & yes Hatton didn't look great against Lazcano but he was still undefeated at 140 & was annihilated!!!

In saying that though I feel Cotto is just a whole different best, loss to Margarito is now questionable, & Mosley & Clottey would give anyone fits! imo Pacquiao has bitten of more than he can chew with Cotto, but that just shows what a great fighter he is to step up to such risky challenges!

I agree. Cotto will beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Marquez are great fighters but not big enough for a true welterweight.

IMO Cotto has lost something since Marg, expecially confidence wise. Proved against Clottey he still had the balls when he carried on even with the possibility of an early night via TD, but he just seems a bit more indecisive and hesitant.

Still, some people have gone way overboard after the Hatton KO about Pac's power, seeming to forget that he pummeled a drained Oscar for 8 rounds without dropping him, and a little longer even to take out the lightweight Diaz. Pac's best chance is by decision.

Yep, I'm going for Cotto by stoppage. Probably body shots

Pacquiao has power though and Cotto can be hit. Other than the Margarito fight, Cotto just seems to eek out wins in tough fights. You must be good if you can beat Mosley, Clottey, Judah, Paulie, and Quintana. Cotto will show why Pacquiao needs to stay at 140 to continue his winning streak.

i'll go on record and say i have no fucking idea anymore... sometimes i think Pac's speed and power could cause Cotto fits.

than i think Pac did get hurt ((if only for a second)) against Hatton and Cotto hits alot harder than Hatton, so if he catches him its game over.

its gonna be a fantastic well matched fight this one and i can't wait.

as for Mayweather he done great against the old small Marquez over the weekend but didn't answer much for me apart from the fact he outboxed a guy who outboxed Pac.

all in all at this point in time its looking very good for Mayweather as i sadly can't see anyone beating him.

Thats exactly what I had Saddo. Meaningful shots from Cotto will bowl Pac over I think....

...at least nobody who he is willing to fight

No he does not. Pacquiao beats Cotto. And I'm willing to have a one month sig bet.

You need to watch the fight again. Pacquiao was off balance. I'm a big Hatton fan but he never hurt Manny once.
