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.
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.

First of all, to discount Cotto's speed and power is akin to imprudence and bordering on ludicrousness. Pacquaio can not afford to be haughty against Cotto. We have witnessed how Cotto dealt with Mosley and we know he can handle speed very well.
Last year, this fight would have been called preposterous and anybody who would think that Pac has a chance is a lunatic and a hopeless nuthugger.
Pac will have his most difficult fight against Cotto and my mind says Cotto has a 60% chance of winning however, unlike my prior disposition when PAc fought DLH, I shall go with my boy this time.
If Pac comes fully prepared (hope he's not busy with his commercials, tv guestings and gambling),he will win a UD or a late TKO.
Hoping against my erudite analysis, PAC wins after the 7th round.![]()

Check out the bold quote first...
Did you knew that was last Cotto's fight at 140 try to get a picture of Cotto vs Malignaggi weight in pictures, Cotto lookes like a zombi or a drug adict.
He was weight drain no matter how much you put fight nigh going that low the day before takes a lot from fighters. Or do you actually think that Pauli will be compettitive vs Cotto at 147? think first dude

So you guys thing Pac has the chin to handle Miguels shots, as well as the body?
Cotto is a very, very intelligent fighter with excellent timing and a great jab he couples with deceptive handspeed.. Going with Cotto, he has dealt with bigger fighters and a ton of adversity... I think he dosent get enough credit for cracking and denting Margaritos chin. That certainly made Moselys night easier.
People forget margarito got beaten up real bad too even though he won, Pac will get broken down as well
