This fight is very dangerous for the very, very brave Cotto. It is to my mind a potential disaster to both, but moreso to Miguel.
I hope in this duel, common sense will prevail, and a misplaced valor shall remain unhinged.
I'd rather, that the result of this fight would be a "Dela Hoya", than that of a "Kim Duk Koo"!
I would look forward to the very best referee getting his services tapped for this mega fight come November 15th. It is a necessity for having two, no-quit warriors combating, and battering each other out on fight night. It is necessary to have a complete handle in the officiating of this fight, needless to say... Maybe a "Meeks"?
Submission in boxing, anyone?
im going with pac just based on how theyve both looked in there last few fights
I'm taking Cotto in this one. I like them both. Maybe to go against the grain a bit, but also, Pac's rise thru the weight classes has gone real smooth, almost too smooth and is due for a stumble. Cotto is a person who can force that to happen. He needs to be better then his last several outtings, and pac to be worse. Not beyond the realm of possibility. Is just how the boxing world works sometimes, and that's how I'm calling it.
Cotto late KO/TKO.
lot ifs and buts their blood?
pre-margarito i would of had cotto to absoloute annihilate pacquiao at every weight imaginable. But the guy clearly isnt the same fighter he once was and now has that fragile sense of feeling around him that if you stick it to him you really can genuinely do some damage.
Roach has once again called this to perfection. Miguel is there for the taking if you ask me
one dangerous horrible bloke
If's and but's every time 2 fighters step in the ring.
We forever are rationalizing who we think is going to win, and sometimes we are right, sometimes we are not. We can safely say not many of us even gave Pac a chance against Cotto over a year ago. Yet here we are, the most of us suggesting otherwise.
I don't think Cotto winning would be the best thing for boxing. Pac has stronger drawing power, and the potential for a PAC/PBF fight would be huge, and this could screw that up if he lost. But I know this. Cotto is going in there with one goal. Hurt that man standing across from him. And if Pac stumbles any, he'll do that job.
This is going to be a great fight to watch for me so long as it's a good fight. And I'll prob be a little disappointed no matter who the winner is.
yeah i see your point, cotto is always going to have a good chance against someone as attack minded as pacquiao
Just think miguel is tailor made for pac now. Dont expect the demolition jobs he did on ricky and oscar for 1 second, but i do believe he`ll probably just be too quick for cotto to handle

Pacman's my second favorite fighter to watch at this moment (behind Cotto of course). But I have a problem with the comment "Pac's rise thru the weight classes has gone real smooth." To me this is yes and no. From 135 and up, he has been very selective and hasn't fought the best (I'll give him Hatton, who was undefeated at 140). But Manny has ducked the best at 135 and at 147 de la Hoya was the number 1 pay per view draw, but not the top welterweight by far. Plus there is the weight demands. Now, Manny will be fighting the first or second best welter at the moment, so a victory for Manny will be impressive, especially if it's as dominant as the others have been recently.
