Is just how the boxing world works sometimes, and that's how I'm calling it.

Cotto late KO/TKO.
lot ifs and buts their blood?
If's and but's every time 2 fighters step in the ring.

We forever are rationalizing who we think is going to win, and sometimes we are right, sometimes we are not. We can safely say not many of us even gave Pac a chance against Cotto over a year ago. Yet here we are, the most of us suggesting otherwise.

I don't think Cotto winning would be the best thing for boxing. Pac has stronger drawing power, and the potential for a PAC/PBF fight would be huge, and this could screw that up if he lost. But I know this. Cotto is going in there with one goal. Hurt that man standing across from him. And if Pac stumbles any, he'll do that job.

This is going to be a great fight to watch for me so long as it's a good fight. And I'll prob be a little disappointed no matter who the winner is.
