Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto

[JOM'S]

okey although I want to see this fight happen, I want to see first the mor significant PAC-Hatton for the 140 championship...

True, but at least Cotto has his legs. De La Hoya had no legs (literally; I didn't see legs when I saw him, I saw sticks). He reminded me of all the greats who moved down in weight and lost; SRL (dominated by Terrible Terry Norris), Byrd (well he's not a great but he has a win over Vitali)(got beat pillar to post by Shaun George (who also was TKO'ed in the first round by ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY's boy Matt Godfrey), and RJJ (no need to explain that). Cotto will probably be outboxed early until he finally gets him to the ropes and lands a flurry of body shots and Manny will take a knee. I don't think he could take Cotto's pressure as Cotto wouldn't have to move down in weight anyway and wouldn't have to play counter-puncher like he did against Marg. Mid round KO I see for Cotto.

i get ur points and its certainly possible. i still think though that Cotto would have to come out strong by imposing his will on Pacquiao because Pacquiao doesnt wear down otherwise and his speed especially in the later rounds would really affect Cotto who does wear down a bit. If Cotto were to come out aggressive from the get go and able to use his body to wear down Pac then i would say Cotto easily wins by KO. Otherwise Pac has a good shot himself of winning.

Good points. I don't think Pac could pot-shot him the whole way though; I love Pacquiao, I'm Fil-Am after all. But seriously, I think Cotto's just too big for Manny. Way too big. I thought DLH was gonna whomp Pacquiao though, so I could be wrong. I just have a feeling that the fight will remind me of Cotto-Margarito with Pac playing Cotto and beating Cotto to the punch until he gets exhausted and KO'ed w/ all the pressure Cotto puts on him.

Exactly I mean Paquiao came in at 148.5 cotto comes in at fight night close to 160 and he shows great speed.

You know whether this fight happens or not. Or a fight with Mayweather or watever, the bigger picture and the thing that makes me happy is that this fight by Pac against DLH only helped boxing as an entire whole and i can guarantee will bring more excitement to the sport from the casual fan. Obviously most of us hardcore fans are more easily pleased even if its a good fight between 2 lesser known fighters lol. But its casual fans that ultimately drive any sport to be successful and i think this fight will really help out big time. Manny Pacquiao is the best thing to happen to boxing since maybe De La Hoya cause of his popularity. Anyone who says boxing is dead is a ****in idiot that needs a reality check. Boxing IS ALIVE AND WELL HAHA!!!

Cotto got found out as opposite of Gatti :he has skill but lacks the will!

Skill + No heart = Cotto
Heart + No skill = Gatti!
