Hopkins predicts pacquiao will stop cotto

[Benncollinsaad]

cotto has no defense, pac is going to land his quicker hands at will

BS. Cotto has superb defense. It's Pacqiao who has subpar defense. Thats why he got so much beating in the fights with Morales and those other Mexicans.

He made a pretty good point there...

So this fight proves nothing for Manny.
He fought an Over the hill DelaHoya
Fought a finished goods Hatton
A damaged goods Cotto
Do I smell a pattern in this?Something to do with careful match making

Oscar wasn't any more over the hill than before, he was just dehydrated and weight drained.

Truth is we don't know how Cotto is after the Margarito fight, he could be damaged goods but we can't judge him by the Jennings fight and not really the Clottey fight because of the cut from the accidental headbutt...

Cotto's defense is underrated, but not superb.

Ok, it's good, not superb. Strong. Man, how can't you Pacman fans see that Cotto is physically stronger and bigger than Pacqiao??

I also remember bhop picking Hatton over Mayweather as well

Hatton is a GBP fighter and Hopkins has always said he is kinda a team player and will back the GBP fighters cause there under the same name and that... can't blame him for backing who he wants to back.

When did I say he wasn't? I am a fan of Cotto too you know...

Truth is he probably has the strength advantage which is a great advantage to have in Boxing but it isn't everything, Pacquiao is faster, has more talent and is the more skilled fighter.

I haven't even made a prediction yet and your acting like I have ruled Cotto out, I have said I aint sure on who to pick for the winner to be yet because its a tricky one, something I will have to pick closer to the fight cause at the moment I aint sure.

Truth is, we don't know how Cotto is since the Margarito fight, Jennings was a confidence build up who I give respect for giving it his best, and in the Clottey fight yeah it was close and Cotto struggled but he had a nasty cut from an accidental headbutt... so its hard to really see whether he is the same kinda fighter any more, I mean he could very well be or even stronger and it was just the cut getting in his way, or it could of affected him... I don't know... that's why its a hard one to pick.

Hopkins is always wrong with his predictions.

Hey, I wasn't talking about you. But it gets on my nerve that everybody is treating Pacman as tho he's the Tyson of welterweights. Unbeatable monster. And as we know, not even Tyson was unbeatable, even in his prime.

We know now why Margarito beat Cotto. Or HOW. It doesn't matter anymore. And it discredits completely what happened, it discredits ******* Margarito.
