Cotto has never been in the ring with anything like Manny Pacquiao...

    I'm cheering for Pacquiao, but the Cotto vs. Clottey fight convinced me enough that Cotto is going to win against Pacquiao.

    I think Cotto's counterpunching with his jabs would throw Pac off balance.

    As far as work rate is concern, if Pacquiao could survive the first half of the fight with enough stamina to work Cotto, I'm sure Pac has a chance.

      This is your problem -- you think everyone else is ****** and cannot think for themselves.

          Ya'll better stop drinking the Fanny Pac koolaid.

          "His punches are so fast his opponents can't see them"

          LOL

          As if fighters don't get KO'd all the time by punches they don't see.
          Manny is a much much better boxer than he was a few years back. He uses both hands, ducks away from punches, and grabs when on the inside. He rolls off the ropes when trapped and slips punches like a champ. The only thing that Cotto has over Pac is the body work as Pac does little body punching at all. Mark my words, Pac's new weapon this fight will be the left uppercut.

            Pac got the skills to beat Cotto, just not the size. If it turns out he can take Cotto's punch, Pac got this. I don't think he can at WW tho.

              I hear ya, but Manny's surprised us in both the Oscar and Ricky fights. That same question was posed in those fights: Can Manny handle Oscar's power, Can Manny handle Ricky's power. It both cases, it was a non-issue. I think Manny is for real at or around 140. At 145 against Cotto, he should be able to handle his business.

                  What surprised me in the Hatton fight is that Manny was the one pushing Hatton when they clinched. Most people thought Ricky's only chance was to work Manny on the inside, but he couldn't. Pac has got underrated strength.

                    That's what everyone will be saying after the Cotto fight... "Was this really a surprise"... "Tony ruined Cotto"... "Cotto is the next Fernando Vargas". I don't care if you all say Oscar was weight drained and Ricky was china chinned. Manny beat the snot out of those fools, and he's got a very good chance of doing the same to Cotto.
