    Manny was around 2/5 to beat Hatton, I think them odds are pretty fair to be honest maybe 4/7 Pac would be about rite, but Cotto didnt look great last time out if im honest.

    I'm not sure how the odds might change....but probably going more towards Pac as he is the man with the momentum and the more noticeable performances.

    Man Cotto did some great things in his last fight against Clottey. Cotto knocked down Clottey with a jab (no one has ever knocked him down!) and fought with a gaping hole above his eye for nine rounds and managed to make it a close fight as opposed to one sided in favor of Clottey. Cotto even roughed Clottey up by picking him up and throwing him down (that boy's strong!) and even made Clottey a whining bee-atch later in the fight. Manny is in for a very long, difficult and brutal fight, whether he wins or loses.

    Speed will be the factor as in all of Mannys fights as of late, if Cotto comes in weight drained he will be in trouble

    speed isn't everything, as evident in Jones/Tarver II, timing can be used to neutralize speed, and IMO Cotto's ability to time punches is phenomenal, and IMO he's gonna be too much for Pacquiao

    same here i'll be rooting for Cotto but have nothing against Pacquiao himself, his fans on the other hand, that's another story, it's a pretty even match-up honestly and after re-watching

    Cotto-Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Urkal, and Clottey
    and
    Pacquiao-Marquez 2, Diaz, Hatton, Morales III

    i think Cotto has a slight edge, just due to physicality and well unlike Hatton, Cotto can actually box, should be a good fight

    Agreed he won't just wait for the shots to come and hope he lands a bomb, Cotto will actually box...I like the idea of this bout should be good
