Cotto-Pac - Who wins? Fact.

[mad_takamura]

Cotto is going to win and here's my reasoning.

#1 Cotto is a legit welterweight, he's not going to be weight drained
#2 Cotto has shown he can BOX vs someone dangerous
#3 Cotto has a good chin and better defense than he's given credit for, look what Margarito had to do to stop him.
#4 Cotto has big time power and he isn't afraid, but he's also not stupid


When we get in situations where we as boxing fans are going to get a "Superfight" but all the pieces have to fit together perfectly for it to happen, it usually gets spoiled by something and I think in this case Miguel Cotto is EXTREMELY dangerous for Manny Pacquiao.

those reasons alone will eradicate any excuses after the fight if any, don't you agree?

[El Kabong]

...well there's the lingering question "is Miguel Cotto back to where he was before the Margarito fight?"

I think Cotto is fine, if Pacquiao does whup him it will be more impressive than anything Floyd Mayweather Jr. has done at 147

what's your take on this?
from your previous post seems to me you're disagreeing on this one though. that cotto is no longer his older self.

past jennings and clottey, tell me as well, what's cotto's state now?

btw, change that to "lingering excuse."

I have to go with Pacquiao on ths one. Although it's should be a tough fight for the two. Pac by decision because Cotto has a strong chin.

i thought cotto is no longer his old self after that margacheato beat down? but i think too pac is going to win though, beyond those alibis.

If pac wins this convincingly i would put him the fave to beat Mayweather!

Without a doubt.

In terms of viewability, this fight should be better than a Mayweather v. Pacquiao fight. I don't think Pac wins this one. But even if he does, Pac ain't beating Mayweather.

Does Pac move to Ring #1 welterweight if he beats Cotto? I guess #2 because Shane should be #1, right?

Agree on both points

I am going with Pac, I am not a diehard fan of each so whoever wins is fine by me as long as its a good fight. That being said...I thought Cotto looked not so good against Clottey, I thought Cotto did win the fight, but only cause Clottey gave up and decided he should give Broadway a shot mid fight, then again Cotto did have a very nasty cut which he fought through in which he gets full credit for not giving up. I don't think he will knockdown Cotto, I mean if Margarito couldn't lay him out, a large welterweight with plaster, I find it hard to believe Manny will.

My original feelings were for Pac TKO victory due to cuts. I don't think that cut has had long enough to heal. Pac will slice and dice his face all night. I am sticking with my gut, but again I don't care who wins.

If Cotto can work his jab I think it is going to be a long night for Pac...but I don't think it will happen. BEYOND FACT OR FICTION (you decide)

[mickeyluvsu]

i dont know where to begin. i'm seriously shakin while typing and ponderin on what a supreme match-up this will be. i've been trying to figure out both scenarios for the two but this is just mind bogglin.

Here it goes....
Hands down Cotto gets the W. I love Pac but as much i love to see this guy does wut he does, he will get the L. I pray and hope i'm wrong because Pac is just one of those boxers that excites the minds out of everyone. what he's accomplished in his lifetime is astounding. 30 yrs of age and in his prime...WOW!!!! After Cottos lost to Marga i knew he was damaged goods. Mere fact that the punishment he took was not normal. Then the Clottey fight. He looked decent but was getting hit with some good shots from him and i know that the cut bothered him and presevered. IMO he lost the fight. It was in MSG his home town, had the fight been somewhere else he would have lost. See here's the thing....Cotto is gonna show that it takes awhile to really get a chance to show what he really is made of and that is Saturday night. Cotto is the bigger fighter and because of that and his eagerness to prove to himself not to others but to himself that he is the CHAMPION thats exactly what he is going to show. Body shots are gonna wear Pac and a body shot is gonna drop him come the 9th round. That is my take...IMO.....PEACE!!!

There's no way Pacquiao can win, he's far too limited.

All he does is right-hook roll under, same move every time.

Are you one of those that said he couldnt beat hattor or DLH? please....

Pac KO's Cotto late in a thrilling fight

[CFH]

I think Pac's uppercut is going to be a key to this fight. Cotto has shown how vulnerable he is those punches, especially in the Judah fight which admittedly took place a long time ago.

Hey guys, been gone for a while. Stationed in Japan right now so makes it kind of hard to get online since i am in the middle of nowhere over here. you know me though, had to come back just in time to support my man Cotto. Cotto late rounds TKO.
