Dont know if this has been done already so I thght I would throw it in the mix
A few years ago this would have been considered a totaly one sided fight in Cottos favour.
Now,who knows.

Pacquiao by stoppage. Too much speed.
I would have to agree with you. Cotto will probably get stopped in the late rounds. I wont count cotto out though as he like Manny is a great technical fighter. I think Cotto also has the better chin of the two. If cotto wants to win he will need a stoppage because he wont win on points. Manny is too fast and will most deffinatly get more landed punches.
In the end I think the most deciding factor will be Freddy Roach. He always seems to have a better plan than the other trainer.
I just have to think its cotto, and quite comfortably.
I'm still not convinced by Manny's weight jumping as i don't think there is much to be gleaned from the DLH and Hatton victories. Also, personally, I half forget about Cotto- Margherito fight. Cotto is a bull of a man, but he is not ponderous, he will catch Manny sooner rather than later. However i should also say that if Pacquaio wins, then surely all avenues of doubt surroundung him should be closed permanately.
Pac's movement is going to befuddle (real word?) Cotto. I think he will win by quite a wide margin. I really like Cotto, but don't think he will be able to move with PAC.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Strange how just a few of years ago if you even mentioned a Cotto-Pac fight you would have been laughed at but now its happening and Pac is the favorate.

Depends which Cotto comes to the fight:
Cotto 1. He keeps his hands up, fights aggressively, and goes to the body (somewhat like he did before the Margo loss). Early in Pacquiao's career, he was dropped by a single bodyshot from a nobody. No amount of training will cover up a weakness that great. If Cotto can capitilize by going to the body (and he sure can) he might actually shock the world with a KO of PAC. He just needs to keep his defense tight and counter. Unlike Hatton, this Cotto will not charge hands at the hips. I suspect Cotto #1 to win by KO in rounds 8-9.
Cotto 2. This is the Cotto that most recently fought Clottey. This Cotto gasses easier and prefers a slower paced fight. He is still strong but almost sluggish. This Cotto is doomed to lose by UD or even KO. The lightning-fast Pacman races circles around him all-night long with that almost limitless gas tank of his. I might even go so far as to call this a PAC domination. Speed Kills.
It depends which Cotto shows up.
I dont think you can judge cotto on his last match with the big cut he had. He had no choice but to be cautious and stop that cut opening further. However I dont think he has been the same after his defeat against Margarito. Mainly I would say the deciding factor will be Freddy Roach. He always has the best training regime and tactics on the night.
Cotto on the other hand has had all that trouble with his uncle which will also make a difference.
I honestly wouldn't like to say. I think its foolish to write off Cotto however who has never been an easy night's work for any man.
Manny struggled to get by super featherweight J M Marquez only a couple years ago so is not exactly the unstoppable force he's been built up to be.
Cotto is a great fighter and could easily prove to be too big and too strong for Manny.
I just hope whoever wins that they get the respect they deserve from the fans.
Who i think will win Pac. Who i want to win Cotto![]()
Cotto but if Pac wins this time I give up.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Ive gone Cotto i just think Pac is going to come unstuck against these bigger guys soon he likes them weight drained but hopefully Cotto only coming down 2lbs should be ok.
