Well, I'm not on here quite as relentlessly now that I've got a job, but when I do post, I make sure I know what I'm talking about, although generally I stay out of threads in Let's Get It On unless I'm very well informed on it, hence why I've mostly stayed out of the Hall of Fame 'gays in the army' thread.

The irony is Bilbo, I often do agree with you when it comes to boxing matters, I see us more like Al Pacino & Robert De Niro in Heat.

On this point though, I'll explain why I'm going for Manny. It's not because I think he's unbeatable, it's more down to Cotto. I'm pretty sure he's not the same fighter he was before, I think he's slightly more gunshy & his timing has gone a bit. Moreover, I really do think he'll need to KO Pac to get a win. Cotto being the fighter he is, he will give away at least 4-5 rounds in the fight, plus he is liable to fight dirty. Now whilst he might be able to get away with that in New York against Clottey, Mosley & Judah (I know he KO'd Zab), he won't get any of the benefits against Pacquiao. He will lose some rounds & has to be careful not to lose points 'accidentally' low-blowing & hip-tossing Pac. I think if Pacquiao gets at least 4 rounds he will win the fight, because Cotto will leave some too close as he always does & this time in Vegas with a Mayweather fight on the horizon, he won't get the breaks he did with Clottey in New York.

So yeah Pac has to survive to the bell, which I think he will & he'll be the new champ. If it's close, we'll then have many new posters joining to express their outrage at the decision & how they're never gonna watch boxing again etc etc. Meanwhile the minions of Xadu will all pile in here to make our lives unbearable & ratchet up support for Mayweather ahead of their fight.

Fact.
