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

[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.

[:::PSL:::]

Pac is not just fast. He's a volume puncher. He packs real power and fires in many angles. I think he will win, but it aint gonna be a cake walk.

PAC by stoppage. The ref waves his arms without completing the 10-count, while Cotto lies flat on his back.

I disagree!! I think Cotto will be on his face in the canvas just like David Diaz!!!

Cotto has the tendency to get lazy in the ring


Pac will exploit the moment and explode


Pac wins TKO 7th

Thats what I said :

Me too, Pac tko 7th.

Hope Cotto wins though or at least takes his legs away early and its a war of wars.

Wanting Cotto to win,but dont see it.I don't think Pacquiao will drop Cotto but will cut him up very badly.Cotto still backs to the ropes and gives up his height,slides there and squats but he will return more fight in a few rounds than Manny has faced in the last 18+ rounds combined.

[Rican]

Seems to me that Cotto is very motivated for this fight while Manny, his people, and his fans are overconfident, with the gall to say that Manny will KO Cotto. I mean, Manny is not even in the ring yet, choosing to honor his commitments first. I believe Manny can win, but it will be by decision by staying out of Cotto's range and counterpunching. But there is no way Manny will KO Cotto. Strong welterweights could not do it and one, with loaded wraps (check out Margo's hands after the fight with Cotto) could not lay him out. And Cotto has a lot of heart and mental toughness. No way I see a total destruction by Manny.

It's funny how suddenly people are writing Cotto off after loosing to Margarito (I do believe he cheated because definitely Mosley was not his first) and the fight with Clottey (after that enormous cut in the 3rd round taking his left eye vision for most of the fight getting hit hard and still win (barely))
Cotto has become to some Ricky Hatton. Cotto would have beaten RH at 140 and kill him at 147. Cotto has boxing skills good chin at 147 (he took plaster shots and Clotteys shots).

So to say he will loose by Ko or trying to think he will go out like Ricky in a 1 KO punch think again, because if you do your probably a hater, not very good boxing knowlegable or just a kid who barely knows any boxer aside from Manny Pac.

About Pac I just can't say nothing but that he is the man right now but he is not facing Hatton, Oscar or Diaz. IF he does think Cotto is close to any of them he hast to re-think his gameplan.

My prediction = Cotto stops him with bodyshots!!

[Kel]

I'm all for Cotto and here is why.

If Pac beats Cotto he will get a LOT of credit from me.

[Rocky Balboa]

My prediction = Cotto stops him with bodyshots!!

That's his best bet. Even though he's changed a lot, Pacquiao was KO'd by a bodyshot from a guy that throws with a fraction of Cotto's power. No amount of technique and training will fix that though it may alleviate it. If Cotto wants win he needs to go downstairs big time.

pac changed alot and is not struggling to make weight so his body is pretty conditioned. for every bodypunch cotto throws pac will surely give two more in return. alot of boxers tried to go to pacs body pac usually stops that by bodypunching back.

I'm a Pac fan as well as a Cotto fan, but of course I'll be rooting for my hometown fighter here (Cotto). People that write off Cotto point to Pac's two victories at 140 or higher... DLH and Hatton. Let's start with DLH. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed (and could watch over and over) Pac's destruction and humiliation of Oscar, even I admit it wasn't the same Oscar. It was a shell of the old Oscar, and everyone knows it. Of course, kudos to Pac and his camp, because they had no way of knowing this beforehand, and still took a great chance.

Now for Hatton. There is NO WAY IN HELL that Cotto should EVER be confused with Hatton. Hatton proved for all to see that he didn't belong in the same neighborhood, much less in the same ring, as Pacquiao. All this pre-fight hype and Hatton saying he was fighting for the world's p4p title... HAH! He was exposed in a vicious two-round annihilation. No defense... rudimentary boxing skills... suspect chin.

Cotto, on the other hand, is a proven warrior at 147 with all the tools. Over different fights in the past, he's shown speed and boxing skills (Mosley), heart and guts (Clottey), power (Quintana).

It won't be easy for EITHER fighter. In fact, it's gonna be one of the more entertaining fights in recent history. Why? Because both fighters leave it all in the ring, and neither one is going to back down.

My only concern is that Pacquaio does pack a good punch and is a slick southpaw, not a comfortable opponent for any fighter.

But it's gonna be a hell of a war. Can't wait!!
