    My take on Pacquiao vs. Cotto

    Cotto is finally facing someone who doesn't throw/ or have a good uppercut. Don't know if people have noticed this, but Zab Judah, SSM, Margarito and Clottey were getting to Cotto because of the uppercut. I've already said, it all depends on which Cotto shows up, last Saturday's Cotto would get handley beaten by Pacquiao. If the Cotto that faced SSM or Margarito shows up, this fight can be very competitive.

    I will say this, I don't see Cotto getting to Pacquiao's body and if he tries, he'll get hit with bombs upstairs. The way to keep Pacquiao off you/ or slowly break him down is by jabbing to the body (Which Cotto doesn't do). That or pin Pacquiao into the ropes which isn't gonna be easy to do. Cotto should approach Pacquiao the same way Mayweather did Zab, go in there with a high guard and pick his shots wisely. Cotto better get his jab going early and try to take him out as soon as possible, Pacquiao only gets better as the fight goes on but this is how I see it...

    I'm gonna say this, I'm not rooting for either but I do believe Pacquiao is gonna win, I'm going with Pacquiao by 9th or 10th round stoppage. Don't see Cotto breaking him down or taking him out early, I see Pacquiao beating the crap out of a very tired Cotto in the 9th or 10th round. I'm willing to bet also, so hit me up if your interested.

    I agree, and also I think that if Manny can hit him flush in that part where Clottey opened a cut, he can open it again. Not saying that Pacman needs to cut him to win, but if Pacman was Clottey on Saturday he would have capitalized on that cut with his speed since Cotto was not seeing from his left side.

    I've been saying this since the fight was rumored, Pacman's speed and head movement will win him the fight.

              He CANT. This is the conclusion I have come to after the Clottey fight. Poor Clottey though he thought he had the fight in the bag and eased up. He had plenty of gas left and cound have stopped him. Also Cotto is a sucker for straight punches, and Pacquiaos punches are straight.

                    I've been as unlucky as Atlas as of late.
