    This fight will not be as one sided as people think. Speed kills and pac is a fast ass mofo. It will be a great fight with both fighters going back and forth and I dont think anyone will get knocked out. It'll go to the scorecards.

          this fight will be a technical draw

          double KO, possibly a ringside casualty or two

              I don't think it is that much a mismatch. Size wise, they are similar in height with cotto being thicker. But manny is supposed ly the #1 fighter. He should be able to handle it with his boxng skills. With that said, i pick cotto to win if this fights happens. Pacman ain't has good as yall think and that ain't hate for pacman, just facts....and arum is pimping them both. He don't care for pacman well being or cotto. He trying to get magrarito a fight in mexico for christsakes....arum is scum!

                This needs a poll.

                Pacman did very well at Welterweight.

                He is just like Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya (who he dominated and, made quit), and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                All are from the lower weight divsions, who have came up in weight, to dominate.

                this would be a very good fight, providing, they stick with 16 oz gloves.

                I got Cotto by Descion. Pacman, doesnt lose anything tho, he is the Roberto Duran of this time.

                if he takes this fight.

                  This is BULL****! ARUM's PARASITIC ASS is attempting to monopolize the fight game by having his top fighters ONLY fight each other, ie...Margarito vs Cotto and now Cotto vs Pacquiao. When Paul Williams beat Margarito's counterfeit ass, instead of Arum setting up the rematch between Williams and Margarito, Arum opted for Cotto instead. And since Mosley, the latest fighter to beat Margarito's ass, is the current champion and who was also involved in a close fight with Cotto, why not set up a match between those two. IMO that would be a much more compelling fight than Cotto vs Pacquiao. As good as Pacquiao is he's not a Welterweight! He's too small and Cotto will break his little ass down! Mosley vs Cotto II!

                    I'd rather see Pacman vs JMM 3 and Cotto vs Clottey or Cotto vs Mosley 2

                      nah, its a huge mismatch. pac weighs 149 on fight night while cotto can come in as heavy as 160. that's not a fair fight.

                      cotto is too big.

                      but in a fair fight pac probably KOs cotto. cotto stamina sux while pac is as strong early as he is late.

                      plus cotto doesnt like to hold even when hurt. that means he get KOed.
