Cotto or Pac-Man,who will win???VOTE NOW

[porkypara]

Strange how just a few of years ago if you even mentioned a Cotto-Pac fight you would have been laughed at but now its happening and Pac is the favorate.

[Rocky Balboa]

Depends which Cotto comes to the fight:

Cotto 1. He keeps his hands up, fights aggressively, and goes to the body (somewhat like he did before the Margo loss). Early in Pacquiao's career, he was dropped by a single bodyshot from a nobody. No amount of training will cover up a weakness that great. If Cotto can capitilize by going to the body (and he sure can) he might actually shock the world with a KO of PAC. He just needs to keep his defense tight and counter. Unlike Hatton, this Cotto will not charge hands at the hips. I suspect Cotto #1 to win by KO in rounds 8-9.

Cotto 2. This is the Cotto that most recently fought Clottey. This Cotto gasses easier and prefers a slower paced fight. He is still strong but almost sluggish. This Cotto is doomed to lose by UD or even KO. The lightning-fast Pacman races circles around him all-night long with that almost limitless gas tank of his. I might even go so far as to call this a PAC domination. Speed Kills.

It depends which Cotto shows up.

I dont think you can judge cotto on his last match with the big cut he had. He had no choice but to be cautious and stop that cut opening further. However I dont think he has been the same after his defeat against Margarito. Mainly I would say the deciding factor will be Freddy Roach. He always has the best training regime and tactics on the night.
Cotto on the other hand has had all that trouble with his uncle which will also make a difference.

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

I think Pac will win as i think Cotto's chin wont be able to withstand Pacs power.
Pac KO 6-8 round.

I'm going with the underdog here. Even though Pac has shown he can put on weight well, we haven't seen him take a welterweight punch. I think Cotto has enough speed to stay in it and enough power to make it interesting down the stretch. We also have to see if cutting weight will mke Cotto gas earlier than usual. I like both fighters and usually wouldn't bet against either one but I'm guessin Cotto by SD.

Pac in 7

[Chris Nagel]

I wouldn't mind if this fight goes the distance, but I think Pacquiao will win this.

I'm just curious, sure Pacquiao has speed, but what makes you think that he'll do better than Mosley?

Who Me? :-)

I think Mosley although he has more speed and more skill in some areas than Cotto; deals with things in very straight lines.

Manny is all over the shop and theres more angles occuring and more power with the added movment.(although he could get it turned around on him and caught side on with a good temple shot one day)

Cottos tighter and turns and fights well from out of his style and it could work better ;but for my thinking its more like a set brickwall against a wrecking ball that has more angles and more speed so it will take its toll further on the mid rounds.

Pac KO 6-8 round.

Cotto has the tendency to get lazy in the ring


Pac will exploit the moment and explode


Pac wins TKO 7th

Pacquiao by stoppage. Too much speed.

Pac in 7

Andre, CFH, Spade, Manuel...

your probably a hater, not very good boxing knowlegable or just a kid who barely knows any boxer aside from Manny Pac.

LOL

[generalbulldog]

Pacman wins due to the fight being stopped on cuts. Pacman by TKO around 8th round.
