seriously after watching saturdays fight 10 times ive concluded...pacman boxes cotto's ears off..cotto is open very open for uppercuts and str8 punches..he has no head movement what so ever...his offense is great but wheres the defense??pacmans speed will beat cotto..i mean i like cotto but saturday showed a very beatable cotto...i know ya'll will say the cut did it..but clottey outboxed him before the cut imo

hopefully im wrong and cotto just had an off night

Larry, to me it all depends. The Cotto that faced Margarito, Shane and Zab was alot better then the Cotto that faced Clottey. I don't know what was up with Cotto, not what I'm used to seeing. It all depends on which Cotto shows up. All I know is, Saturday's Cotto gets K.O'd late by Pacquiao.

blah blah blah cotto is a ***** for fighting a small pac man at a catch weight.. blah blah . doesn't this sound too familiar to the floyd haters, hating on PBF for fighting JMM at a catch weight? Why do I not hear the same for Cotto fighting Pac at a catch weight?

Yup, if you go by what you seen of both fighters last performances, Pacquiao has the upper hand. Anything can happen but I don't blame anyone for picking Pacquiao to win and maybe even by knock out.

His skills are all there. it's just that Clottey is a better boxer than Cotto. If there is anything missing from Cotto it is his confidence. However, pacquiao will beat him IMO not based on power, but based on speed and accuracy. Pacquiao is just too fast.

You might be right, it seemed that way to me also.

Manny has already fought at 147
Floyd was draggin little guys up two weight classes son. Marquez has never fought at 140 or 143 or 145

i mean cotto is still a soilid fighter..but i think he's on the downside of his career now..pacman is to damn fast for someone with no defense
