[Pavlik]

If PAC wins, hopefully there is no excuses.

there will be because cotto weighed 1 pound less than his last fight, that would make him severly drain

[JazMerkin]

It would have been smarter to take it at 147 so nobody could complain. Pac still beats him there IMO

[BlackHawk]

Damn! at fight night Pacquiao will only weigh 148-149 lbs. That's the highest weight Pacquiao can make. While Cotto can go up in weigh at fight night at 160 -170lbs. That's 10 to 20 lbs different.

Cotto have the advantage at weight

and

Pacquiao have the advantage on speed

[LEGION]

Cool; can't wait for this one. Should be a helluva' fight; but I'm going with Pac to win.

Pac could always fight Pavlik He's in a lonely division.

I have been following Cotto's career from the beginning and I have never seen him come in on fight night weighing more than 157 pounds. Cotto is a big junior welterweight and an average-above average sized welterweight. At 145, Cotto will be fast enough for and still bigger than Manny. If Cotto weighs between 160-170 on fight night, then he will be a sitting duck for Manny.

I was complaining; but fukk it if Cotto isn't bothered with it then who am I to complain? I just want to see it. This board will be fun in the buildup

Where's Bilbo to give his self-aggrandizing speech

Oh brother Well I doubt he'll miss the opportunity to come in and stomp his furry feet in this thread.

[Spicoli]

What, hes sending his silk adorned emissaries now lol.Think Arum will kiss his ring when he receives him

I think Manny will cause many cuts.I just dont like Cottos bad habit of backing to the ropes.Enough math tutorials and calculating fractions.Just box.Going with Pacquiao.

[rjj tszyu]

I never thoought this would happen. Good on both men and Arum for seeing sense!

lol he won't fight Mayweather but Marquez a year from now is realistic, maybe not exactly 12 months, but say by the end of 2010. I see no reason why Khan, as long as he continues to improve won't be too fast, young and even smart for Marquez.

People seem to assume Marquez would just open up and blow him away but Khan WON'T be fighting like that any more. Against Marquez, Roach would have it ingrained into him more than ever to just get in and out and keep away.

Marquez isn't hard to hit and he'll be in his late thirties and probably coming off a loss to Floyd so the tide will shift. Who would have thought 18 months ago that Khan could beat Marco Antonio Barrera?

Nobody stays at the top for ever and Khan will have a decent chance at upsetting him by the end of 2010 imo.

PS. I'm NOT saying Khan could beat Marquez right now, I'm talking end of next of year. All you who scoff who would thought a couple years ago that Carl Froch could ko Jermain Taylor?
