I think Cotto will savage Pac and stop him in the mid rounds
Its an exciting and intriguing match up and personally i cant wait for saturday night as ive been looking forward to it for months! I honestly cant pick a winner, its a 50-50 fight as far as im concerned. How will Manny deal with Cottos power? How will Miguel deal with Pacquiaos speed? I LOVE IT!![]()

More I think about it the more I see it the same way. For long couldn't decide and thought it could go convincingly either way. Cotto has the defence and toughness to withstand Pac who'll struggle to cope with Cotto's strength and power. Some fans got carried away when Ricky KO'd castillo, suddenly he could do the same with a prime Weler with the best D in the buis, I think people will be in for a similar rude awakening on Sat night, though I'm hoping for a competitive showing.
It's even more moronic to claim Pac can't KO Cotto early.
You're gonna look like a proper mug should this happen. Pac has a serious speed advantage, he hits hard, Cotto doesn't have a great chin.
Good luck.![]()
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
This fight is at 145 not 147.
But anyway.. Pac punches more explosive than Margarito. Maybe not with the strength but certainly with the element of shock.
Cotto was bothered by Zab, Mosley and Clottey. He was knocked drunk against Corley and Torres.
With that amount of evidence, it would be foolish to say Pac CAN NOT knock-out Cotto. That's all![]()

I agree just look at the prediction contest, I'm in the know, some people, not so much.
This fight is exciting because opinion is so divided. Cannot wait for this fight!
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
They're going to gain weight after the weigh in?
I do agree with you here Fenster.
One thing we should all know for certain now is that you never know what's going to happen in boxing.
Yes I think Cotto will be too strong for Manny. Yes I can't see how a guy who beat Shane Mosely, destroyed Quinatana and beat up Zab Judah, and got a win over Joshua Clottey, can be beat up and knocked out by a former flyweight.
BUT I thought Manny would lose to Oscar, I thought him and Hatton was for certain a 12 round fight and I expected the size and strength of David Diaz to cause him problems.
I think Cotto's chances have been underestimated by the fans and media alike, but this is a fight that I just don't know for sure how it's going to go.
My head says Cotto wins in the late rounds, but I've bet against Manny a ton of times before and he always suprises.
It's probably wisest not to say too much before the buildup to this fight as a lot of people will end up with egg on their faces methinks.
I don't think it's fans and people not knowing shit....i'ts more that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and people see fights different ways. That's the thing about boxing you can think you know all you want then boom out of the blue pac beats oscar, buster beats tyson so on and so forth. After every fight half the people picking are wrong right off the bat but i wouldn't say thier stupid. This is a sport of inches, turn your head the wrong way, mis-anticipate and al that training and so called "know" can go right out the window. Some pick pac, others cotto. There are arguments to be made for both sides. Myself i think if cotto tries to go in there and so called "beat up the little guy" he'll loose. If he goes in there and boxes and uses his advantages smartly he'll win. Hey if anyone i don't know shit, i very rarely pick any sport right.

I agree Pac is fast, also he hits while bodily on the move and goes out on weird angles and covers his path with a cross.
He can catch other more routine style fighters cold or even worse on a turn trying to follow him (the target.)
Thats why someone intent on removing him wont be able to . I think it wil take a text book skill of control and making him pay for his mistakes to be able to beat him. Cottos needsto be in the zone from before the fight right through it,with no preconcieved ideas about how it will go.
But you never know if Cotto fights to the letter and holds control over his own centre line and keeps Pac where he wants him ,comes out from behind the jab and does it when he earns it, in controlled spurts (Then Pac will pay and may feel it harder than he has ever done before.
Ii live in hope. Go Cotto.
But I wont be so dissaointed if Pac wins hes a great Champ great for the sport anyway.
Just God help us with his not so humble fans telling us which way the wind blows all based on one fighter and how they are the prediction kings of all time.
