Cotto v. Pacquiao in 2009!

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

i've have seen 4 fights from cotto so far (recent ones i think) and dont see a reason why pac can't beat or compete with the guy

i believe hatton is stronger than cotto, pac stronger than hatton? we have yet to see

Malignnagie already said himself, that Cotto is stronger and hits harder. And that was a weight drained Cotto. You should start watching more boxing son!!!!

This fight will never happend. But if for some reason it does, Cotto nasty KO7

Word around is that if cotto beats margarito and manny beats hatton, those two (pac, and cotto) would be meeting each other later in 2009, any thoughts?????

My first thought is that Margarito is gonna beat the **** outta Cotto......
My second thought is that IF Cotto wins and its a close fight , Margarito desrves a rematch.......
My third thought is i think its a very bad match up for Pac....

the only way cotto beat margarito is if he potshots and holds this time. otherwise it'll end earlier.

that would be huge...

i know cotto has the skill and talent to beat margarito but sometimes i wonder if he has the SMARTS to beat margarito.

He tried to pretty much stay on the bike all 12 rounds against margarito and it worked well...until he tired out around the 8th round.

If cotto would have fought that SAME fight but put more work into the BODY rather than margarito's HEAD he could have walked away with a pretty clear UD win...instead he got on the bike and elected to head hunt 95% of the time and it cost him the win...

if cotto makes this adjustment i dont have any doubt he can win a decision over margarito...

if cotto ends up winning the rematch and facing pacman it would be HUGE in my opinion (at least as a diehard boxing fan).

for the casual fans its not something they will really get into.

however for the rest of us its definately the fight fan's fight.

it would be great to see.

Cotto tried to go to the body but there weren't any openings which is the reason why he went to the head all the time. Also it left him open to uppercuts which is Margarito's favorite punch. My brother says the same thing and he thinks Cotto will win the rematch but only if he holds this time which isn't very Cotto-like.

First Cotto has to get through a bigger Margarito, Pac has to get through Hatton (Hatton is not a washed up Hoya)Hatton is a very aggressive fighter and 140 is where he does his most damage.
But if they Both get through those guys the Cotto will destroy Pac. No ifs and or buts....I have alot of respect for Pac...but now way he gets past Cotto.

Almost a year later a different story is told
