Hopkins Believes Pacquiao Will Break Down Cotto's Face

[boricuarn]

Hopkins is heartbroken because Cotto did not sign with De la Hoya. Because Hopkins is a boxer does not mean he has more knowledge that somebody else or could be right about his prediction. The more people choose Pacquiao, the better for me when I bet in Las Vegas. I am not a crazy fan which get blind; I know very well what each boxer can do and what the weaknesses are. But I am going to say one more time; my prediction for this fight is Cotto will destroy Pacquiao in 6 rounds. I know many people think the same way that me and I know some people disagree with me, but that is okay, this is boxing and I love this sport.

Yep, it's going to be a bloodbath

I'm sure Jim Lampley will start crying after the fight.

Cotto must have a lot of scar tissue. Look at his recent fights: Clottey nasty cut on eyebrow, Margarito - nasty cuts on eye, lips and nose, Mosley - cut over right eye, Judah - cut over right eye, lips/mouth bleeding badly, Urkal - Cotto cut up pretty bad above his left eye.

The only fights he hasn't been cut in recently were against Jennings and Gomez. Against everyone else he's been cut up (obviously margarito & clottey being the worst).

That means there is a lot of scar tissue all over his face. Both of his eyes have been cut bad and he's had problems bleeding from the mouth/lips and nose as well. Bhop isn't far off here, Cotto WILL be cut up provided the fight lasts more than 3-4 rounds. The question is how bad it will be.

agreed and with pac's razor like hands its gonna be nasty for cotto

We will see blood in this fight, I wouldn't be surprise too see Manny getting cut as well he cuts frequently on the right eye and Cotto has a heavy jab and hook to open it.

I would have to agree with all of you above on how many times Cotto has been cut and that Pacquiao will probably cut him, but consider that the cut with Clottey was from a head but and even though Clottey punished Cotto with his hand he never cut Cotto with them. Also consider the possible "plaster element on the fight with Margarito. But yes Cotto is a possible blood fest when he steps in the ring

There going to let him use plaster because thats the only way Cotto face has taken any damage

I cant agree with you Buddy. Pacman is not that type of boxer, he is no cheater in the ring.

Bernard Hopkins, the former two division champion, does not believe that Miguel Cotto's face will be able to last the full twelve rounds of his November 14 bout with Manny Pacquiao. He feels that Pacquiao workrate, combined with the anticipated high-impact nature of the fight, will be Cotto's downfall. [details]

Counting on a cut to stop my boy, just spells out HATERS to me!!!

It's going to take much more than a cut for Pacboy to stop Cotto..

I agree with hopkins. Cotto Couldn't handle the slower margaritos pressure. Pacquiao is way faster than marg with same workrate. Now that pacquiao know miguel doesn't do good under pressure , that is one of the main things he is going to incorporate.

Difference with margarito is margarito kept coming forward, pacman does not. Also, sorry but i question ALL of margarito's fights. Look at Pacquiao's face in 1st morales fight....It'll be worse this time.

[rob6465]

Hopkins?? Mosley's boy? Oscar's boy? Who is next? Pacquiao's wife says pacman will ko cotto? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STOP THIS PACMAN IN INVINCIBLE DRAMA.

saying that a cut will stop Cotto isn't hating... these are just predictions and it is very possible

[sangresabia]

Yes, Cotto will be cut, probably early. Good thing for him is the fight won't last 12.

[rob6465]

The whole world can be against cotto i know he will win and smash pacman to the ground!

The whole world is against cotto. Man, i love this fight. What will they say after cotto stops pacquiao with his body shots? Shots that pacman has NEVER experienced from others. Roach will save pacquiao on 11/14.

I'm sure Jim Lampley will start crying after the fight.
