Pacquiao initially installed as the 2 to 1 favorite against Cotto

[DaxxKahn]

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

We will see come fight time, I like both guys and both have advantages in their favor...will be a good one

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

I'm suprised at how much Cotto has been written off. Nobody has ever had an easy time with him and Manny is hardly Mr invincible.

A lot of people thought he lost to J M Marquez only 4 fights ago and that was at super featherweight.

I may put some money on Cotto for this one, he's FAR too good a fighter to be written off against a man effectively moving up three weight classes 18 months ago.

I am not writing Cotto off, just said that speed will be the factor for cotto and Cottos body punching will be the factor for Manny...

To write Cotto off would be stupid..why because of his loss to Margarito? A close bout with Clottey.....

Skipping the Margarito loss to avoid obsessive hand wrap comments...a tough Bout with Clottey means nothing...Who doesnt have a tough time with Clottey?

If Cotto can get some good body shots in he might have a chance of landing a few straight rights, which he throws very well. Then switch back downstairs once Manny tries to block them. I think Cotto will win this fight by KO.

I've been about 60% on with my predictions. That's why I don't gamble. But I still feel that Cotto will win by KO too. I think that Cotto has already fought the tougher fight with Clottey.
