Tell me oh ignorant one of the shire, whens the last time you even saw Pacquiao knocked down? What your doing is called wishful thinking. It will be competitive, but to say Cotto stops Pacquiao in 4 rounds is the most ubsurd thing ive ever heard. Cotto is great but he didn't even stop jennings in 4 rounds and you expect him to KO the greatest fighter in the world under 4. At least my mistake was an honest one, you just lack common sense or a brain for that matter!
I didn't say Cotto beats Manny inside 4 rounds, I said he MIGHT if he lands early. He blew Quintana away in quick time, he battered the shit out of Alfonso Gomez.

Cotto has been fighting far far better competition in an absolute sense than Manny has. You stick David Diaz, Ricky Hatton and a 147 lb Oscar in with Antonio Margarito, Joshua Clottey and Shane Mosely and they are all getting mashed up.

Manny went life and death with Marquez twice, most people thinking Marquez won those fights and Marqeuz didn't win a single round against Floyd, he was embarrassed as much as Jeff Lacy was against Calzaghe.

Cotto is a HUGE step up from a past it, and never that great Ricky Hatton, and a completely weight drained and shot Oscar.

Manny is in for the fight of his life.

I'd love to see Manny do it, he's a superstar and a fantastic fighter, but Cotto is a great fighter in his own right, and will imo be too big and too strong for Manny.

Yes Manny has speed, but Cotto isn't slow, he went in and beat Shane Mosely after all, and speed aside Manny is outgunned in every other attribute.

I think a lot of people will make some smart money on Cotto ending Manny inside the distance.

Cotto is aggressive, and if he hurts Manny he won't let him off the hook.

In 2010 Cotto vs Mayweather will be THE fight the fans want.


Nope, if theres one thing that will pull manny thru the fight it is his iron will. Cotto has excellent skills but in several fights i've seen that oh s*** look on his face when he got into trouble. Loaded gloves or not all Cotto had to do to beat Margarito in those later rounds was bob weave, get in get out, instead he tried to slug it out (which takes strong will) but it takes an iron will to get up when your knocked down. If it turns to a slug fest Pacquiao comes out on top. No one ever said Hatton wasnt that good until Manny obliterated him, all I heard for weeks was "Hatton is undefeated at 140, and too scrappy for Pacquiao". By the way I love Cotto, one of my favs but at the moment Pacquiao has been steam rollin fighters so im not gonna get off the train until someone can prove otherwise!
You mean fights against other top WW's? Cotto actually looked like he was in a fight? No kidding?

Saying that kinda reminds me of how pac looked against morrales in the first fight, or in against JMM in both fights...You mean that look?
