    Pac's chin tells the tale. If he can take Cotto's punch, he's got it. He can outbox him all nite. If not, he's goin down. I think Cotto's just gonna be too damn big n strong for him.

      Much respect to Pac if he can beat Cotto.

      It will be without a doubt the most impressive win of his career.

        WAR COTTO!!!! This fight is tough to pick though. I'm going with Cotto by late stoppage, but there are just so many factors going into this fight. How will Pacquiao handle Cotto's power? How will Cotto handle Pacquiao's speed? How well will Cotto cut the ring off? How effectively can Pacquiao nullify Cotto's jab? There's no way of knowing the answer until fight night. We may see Cotto's power being too much from the start or Pacquiao's speed being too much. It may be a close, hard fought war the entire way. We just can't say anything at this point.

          I don't know how Cotto shouldn't win this now. I mean his only loss was a against a tank of a fighter that was very much taller than him with longer arms and cement. Pacquiao will be slightly shorter with I believe the shorter arms. How the hell will he bend his will for Pacquiao if it took Margarito 11 to get Cotto to finally break? Statistics show Cotto has brutalized all the smaller men he's beaten and for the most part he's taken on tough sturdy hombres at 140lbs and 147lbs, and beat them the f**k up. I think Pacquiao was too quick after watching the Clottey fight to say, make the fight happen. That was a bad impression for Pacquiao to get on Cotto based off that fight. Cotto is gonna come out guns blazing and is serious, why hell else would he start 3 months in advanced training?

                'Cause maybe Cotto is not underestimating PAC like you are, lol. Seriously though.

                Also, I think Cotto has to worry about keeping the weight down. Hence the need for the extra weeks of training.

                Cotto has been rocked by the smaller fighter, ie Malignaggi, not the biggest of punchers and also Judah. The thing is, both fighters weren't able to keep the heat on Cotto.

                I think, PAC, once he finds his range he'll keep hackin' away unlike Paulie and ZAB.

                  Well I figure it was for the weight also, but he's always made 147lbs comfortably, generally weighing in a lb under the limit, so I don't see how much harder it would be to lose 1 more pound on weigh-in. He might overtain, but I doubt it. I'd expect him to come in like his Margarito shape. But man, watching the video, the way he rips those body shots, it hurts me watching it.

                    I'm not betting on either of my favorite fighter. Nor did I say I was sure about it. I just said Manny is gonna have a tough time dealing with that. Both are my favorite fighters and I can't go against either, but so far, I'm leaning towards Cotto if I had to tell someone else to put their money down. Of course, Pacquiao has proven us 3 times before not to go against him, so anything can happen...
