ANTONIO MARGARITO: "Pacquiao Will Beat Cotto"

[STILL_DETOX]

Question: Cotto vs Pacquiao, who wins?

"Pacquiao. From the very first round the advantage would be Pacquiao.”
-Antonio Margarito

“I think Pacquiao is a quick starter, and if I had to lean toward a fighter, I would say Pacquiao."
- Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“Basically, I see Cotto busted up. I don’t think his face is gonna hold up through 12 rounds of the fight."
- Bernard Hopkins

“Pacquiao will win.”
- Mike Tyson

"I believe that Pacquiao should put him on the canvas in five or six rounds."
- Marquez's trainer Nacho Beristain

"Cotto keeps coming, this other kid Pacquiao, is so good, so slick. I think Pacquiao is the best fighter right now.”
- Muhammad Ali's trainer Angelo Dundee

"All of these guys underestimate Pacquiao thinking he's the small man. When I met Pacquiao, I wasn't saying how does this guy make welterweight? I was saying how in the hell was he making 130 and 135? Pacquiao is a big dude."
Mosley's trainer Naazim Richardson

"That’s not even a question. Manny Pacquiao all the way. I love him.”
- Kobe Bryant

What do they know. Idiots!!!!! They don't know anything about boxing, hehehehe

i like pac but i think he is being overrated by everyone due to the wins over hatton and hoya he is a good fighter but not against a real ww like cotto. i could be wrong but this is my personal opinion i just dont see pac being able to beat cotto in any way

Fair enough. Peace.

It is easy for any of us to pic Manny to win the fight. After all Manny is riding an incredible wave while Cotto is just starting to gain momentum back in his.

The first reaction for anyone might be well Manny has been busting guys up and disproving the doubters all along. Cotto has recently been shown to be very human.

There are intangibles here though that need to and will get addressed. Cotto while still putting his pieces back together is still far above and beyond Manny's last three opponents. He has better timing and ability than Manny's last 3 opponents put together.

This fight could go either way people. For me it will depend highly on Cotto's timing and jab. If he gets those together to time Manny's rushes, it could end up to be a long night for Manny. What Manny has to do is use the blueprint he used against DLH in this fight. Use those legs and every square foot of that ring. If Manny tries to start too fast, he might end up on his back. He has to box, pick his spots till the mid rounds and then increase intensity.

Many like to write Cotto off, but he is still very game. I say by the third round, one of them will get their game on and it will be an uphill battle for the other from that point on. Once one of them gets the momentum in their favor, the other one will start to falter and make mistakes.

I am real shocked how people are going to be disapointed November 14.

I am more of a Pacquiao fan than Cotto fan, but people are really understimating Cotto.

Juan Manuel Marquez has more chances of beating Mayweather than Pacquiao beating Cotto.

Now i'm crazy, 14th November i am going to watch people giving excuses.

[The Underboss]

This would be 10-4 odds in favor of Pacquiao.

[RRICAN]

damnnnn they are gonna loose a lot of money. i hope cotto trains real good cuz this is the fight of his life

[The Underboss]

If cotto gets a new EXPERIENCED trainer like Manny Stewart it would be truly a War.

Didn't Margarito pick Margarito to beat Mosley? WTF does he know. I look forward to making a ton of cash on Miguel just like I did when Mosley pounded the cheat.

Timing my friend. Timing.

Cotto's good great handspeed as well to boot.
