My main demand if I'm getting out of bed at 3am to watch this is that it isn't an absolute snoozer....I've got great respect for both of the fighters, and I really hope they put on a spectacle that will be the career pinnacle for the winner and a noble defeat for the beaten man.
I think, as I have before if I'm honest that Pacquiao isn't big enough to compete strength-wise with the bigger man of Cotto, and that Cotto will land the more telling punches. But I was wrong before and I won't begrudge the Pacman if I'm wrong again!

Hey man, I'm doing as well as I can. Thanks for the rep.
The only questions I have about Cotto aren't really about HIM so much as his "trainer". To beat Pacquiao he's going to have to execute a good gameplan, they are going to have to have had a great training camp and Miguel is going to have to be in terrific shape.
You figure despite all the commotion in Pacquiao's camp with Freddy Roach et al that Manny got in a great camp and knows he has to bring his A game because Miguel Cotto is more dangerous than De la Hoya or Hatton

Well first, I was a little surprised by some of my friends picks, but oh well.
Obviously you all know who I am going with, and it's not just "fangirlism".
I'm picking my man Miguel, because I have faith in him, and in his abilities. I will ALWAYS stand by my man, no matter what.
Miguel has great ring smarts, and knows how to make adjustments as a fight goes on. I think that Manny will win the early rounds due to his speed and volume of punches, but I see Miguel eventually using his jab to keep Manny at bay, and he'll throw in his left hooks to the body and arm, and begin to slowly break him down.
I think it will come down to who wants it more, and I see the hunger more in Miguel, than I do in Manny.
Will Cotto stop him? Not sure, but I'll still say it will be a TKO in the 9th. My only concern, is that I hope that Miguel does stop him, because I think if it goes to the cards, and it's a close fight, Miguel will get screwed like JMM did, because there is too much money at stake if Manny loses. So, I just hope that it is judged fairly, because I will be upset if he gets screwed.
IF Miguel loses to Manny fairly, of course I'll be disappointed, but I'll be disappointed for Miguel, because I know how much he wants this. However, I won't be disappointed that he lost to Manny, because I am a fan of Manny's as well.
Best of luck to both men, and may they both come out of this fight free from major injuries.
WAR COTTO!!!!!!!!![]()

Geez, this is a close poll. I've been saying Cotto from the beginning & I'm sticking with that. Possible late stoppage!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
I voted for Manny but I'll be cheering for Cotto during the fight because a. he's the underdog and b. the forum will be unbearable for a while if Manny wins.
pac won... FACT!
Like I already said, iv never thought Cotto was very good, hes too one paced and takes too many shots, he keeps his hands high but loads of shots get through.
Even an old Barrera gave Manny a harder fight
I dont think Margarito was cheating against Cotto, look at the state of his face here, its just his crap defence![]()
