You biased fan, you!

I think this will be a decent fight. It's hard to count out Pac considering recent form. Having said that, Hatton did fight like someone with serious mental impairment. I have seldom seen such a bizarre approach to a fight of that magnitude. And it was more than a little bit dissapointing.

Pac is quick and somewhat elusive. But I would venture that Cotto is more technically sound than Hatton and hits a fair bit harder. A few of those Cotto leads land on Pac and we might well see Pac in for a rough night. It works both ways though. Pacs speed would obviously cause some problems for Cotto too.

I would prefer Mosley to be given a chance, but this comes a close second.
