Neg rep ay?

Unlucky mate

What can I say? Sometimes, the young ones need more models than critics. It is all cool... growing pains for an old man, is all it is.

Iam picking Cotto by late tko.He will get tagged early much like the Judah fight,once Cotto settles down i see him landing more shots as the fight goes on and then landing the more telling shots later on in the fight that Manny Pac wont take.

[belakbox]

I'm picking Cotto to KO Pac inside of 9. I think he'll start slow the first 2 rounds and will catch up to Pac as well.

[kingfrnk]

I want Cotto to knock Pac the fuk out but i think Pac has too much speed for Cotto.

[C-Lo]

I can't vote on either cause I really don't know who wins. I always look at a Pacquiao fight as a matter of "IF's." If Cotto gets Manny on the ropes often, I don't see Manny lasting.

I'll just say that Pac's recent actions is really pissing me off!!

[the inbetweener]

I honestly think Pacqiuao will stop Cotto late. Neither are the hardest to hit, but I think Pac will expose Cotto's vunerability to attacks directly down the middle.

[Nameless]

If you're as good as in your last performance, I would say PacMan high above after a very entertaining fight, Cotto is damn skilled but since his defeat to Margaplaster, I feel that something got broken inside somewhere and I am not sure he'll become the one he used to be.

I've been following boxing since 1969. I started watching fights at the Honolulu International Center; it is now named after their former governor, Neal Blaisdell Center. Most of the fighters in Hawaii were from the Philippines. Hawaii's demographic consist of over 25% filipinos, they are the biggest group.

There has never been a fighter like Manny Pacquiao. Some had power like Ben Villaflor. But he couldn't fight a boxer. Navarette was good but had no discipline. Andy Ganigan was a one dimensional power fighter from Waipahu. Pacquiao has it all, chin, adaptability, speed, stamina, discipline, work ethics, power, talent, and also what most misses about him, the ability to improvise. Some would mistakenly label it as being amaturist. He takes a lot of chances, but that is part of his greatness.

I just can't see Roach instructing Pacquiao to go and mix it up with the bigger Cotto. Pacquiao will fight by moving and boxing. They'll wait for Cotto to tire out in the late rounds. Cotto has shown he gasses out in the late rounds. That is when Pacquiao will make his move.

Cotto was not even knocked out by a huge WW in Margarito who might have had cement in his gloves. He also wasn't knocked out by two big WW in Mosley and Clottey. So I don't see Pacquiao knocking out Cotto. I see a decision win for Pacquiao. It there is a stoppage, it will be due to cuts or a towel being thrown in.

I will be laughing out load on you guys when Pacquiao beat the crap Cotto.

Speed and Power, Left and Right handed, Nice footwork, Combination in any angle and never stop throwing punches, Great body/Chin.

Pacquiao by TKO stoppage.

I bet you guys will come up with BS excuses again everytime Pacman won.

Oh his to old
Oh not on his prime anymore
Oh his shot fighter
Oh his a bum
Oh his trainer suck
Oh his team did not take care him
Oh his camp got destructed
Oh his damage goods
Oh Pacquiao cherry pick him
Oh Pacquiao needs to pick up his size and fight bigger fighter - ( huh? Pacquiao is a small fighter) lol
Oh his left-over
Oh he got rob
Oh Pacquiao is taking advantage "negotiation"
Oh his dehydrated

etc....

I already know your excuses. Excuses already scratch long time ago.

If Cotto wins against Pacquiao I will give him full credit for beating an ATG fighter.

Cool post, now if you already know all this you can go away and stop repeating yourself can't you. But then you knew I was going to say that because you know everything.

Not a bad opinion. Pacquiao won't stand and trade with Cotto until maybe the second half of the fight when Cotto consistently shown fatigue. Cotto ran from Mosley in the last three rounds and he ran was pulverized by Margarito in the last three rounds after winning the first five.

But, can Manny deal with real WW power? Cotto is sufficiently fast enough to hit Manny.

No he can't. And yes, along with good timing, Cotto IS sufficiently fast enough.

The thing about Cotto is, unless he is tentative... it's very hard to be 1st against him. I see Cotto being tentative not when he is hurt, but when he is not hurting the guy infront of him. Pacqauio will eventually put himself in a compromising situation and get badly hurt.
