I think Cotto will burst the Pacquiao bubble

[rjj tszyu]

I think I would still go for Pac but I see this being very, very hard for him. DLH was a very good win for Pac and I don't want to take anything away from him but it was a drained Oscar. No real excuses for Hatton though, maybe slightly past his best and going out thinking this small man can't hurt me and being proven painfully wrong.

But Cotto to me hasn't been the same since Marg. Those bricks caused him a lot of damage, not just in that fight but long term IMO. I hope i'm wrong but before that fight I think he would have beaten Clottey much clearer than he did and Jennings was just completely overmatched, Cotto could have beaten him straight after the Marg fight.

The problem for me will be Pac's speed. If he can handle it without trying to get macho like Hatton did then I see him winning, BUT that latino pride just seems to take over so many times. My prediction Pac UD.

I was thinking that Cotto would get the victory in a tough fight, but many people just like you feels that Cotto is somewhat damaged goods after the fight with Margarito. And to be honest I really don't think he has recovered, so I'm changing my mind and going with Pac by TKO.
