Thread: Bet for Cotto vs Pacquaio

I'm starting this thread to formally call on bettors. This fight is too big and too historic and as fans of the sport we need to take sides. Let's enjoy this fight with a bet.

My prediction and bet: Pac wins over Cotto.


First come, first served. Only one bettor per prize so I can maximize my bets.

The prizes:
You may change my:
1. avatar (for 3 months)
2. signature (for 6 months)
3. name ( for 3 months)

edit: Here's a nice story about Pac's beginnings. The author and I have seems to have a similar story about how we have seen Pacquaio during his early beginnings. I was really shocked how Pac would dominate his foes early in his career.A skinny guy whom you think does not know how to punch is TKoing opponents like crazy. Pac was really funny with his awkward style but he was already very entertaining then.

Chronicling the first years of Pacquiao's career: Why Cotto's size won't matter (part 1)

I pick cotto so you will be changing your name buddy

I've already got my bet intact with Jimboogie... Hope he hasn't forgotten...

I'm tipping Pac as well.. I love Cotto and will put him against almost anyone out there, but Pac is too fast and he is growing more confident in his defense every fight...

FIVE more sleeps to go!!!

LOL. Just to also let you know, I've never been defeated in my bets here except when I bet against Pacquaio when he fought DLH. I did that because I was so anxious with the size of DLH so I bet against my boy. hehehe.

In case Cotto wins, this will be quadruple jeopardy for me.

I will lose my name, avatar, signature and the pride of never been truly defeated in bets.

signature (for 6 months)

I can't participate as I am in a bet with Jaz for Bute-Andrade II, haven't made my mind yet about this fight though.

Bastid, we only had the one bet. I was going back and forth between these guys, but I'll take Cotto. I want your Avatar and your siggy when I win.

sh*t i want cotto as well

But ive got your number and am on a roll

shall we say 2 weeks??

Ooops, I meant Pac. I'll take Pac. Avatar and siggy for 2 weeks. You're going down. And I don't mean in the same way your mother did last night.

Can't really make my mind up on this one, i don't think Manny Pacquiao has fought a genuine Welterweight yet. And im not sure if Miguel Cotto is still 100 percent after the Antonio Margarito fight, he looked a bit stale in the Joshua Clottey fight, mind you Joshua Clottey is pretty much a tough fight for anyone.

Is body shots the key to beating Manny Pacquiao ? those KO losses were obviously from being weight drained, but still is body shots the way to go ? i haven't really seen Manny Pacquiao tested to the body, except when JMM hammered him in 8th or 9th round of there 2nd fight. and if it is there is no one else who can test Manny Pacquiao body's better than Miguel Cotto.

The key to beating Miguel Cotto ? uppercuts now Manny Pacquiao doesn't really have an uppercut, but he does have a good right hook. Which will be the key, Manny Pacquiao fans just see the DeMarcus Corley fight.

Speed vs Power which one wins ? i honestly don't know. Im sitting on the fence with this one, and may the better man win. I just hope the winner gets an immediate shot against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
