    you could make the case the pac is underestimating cotto i mean he is doing a movie right now for god sake and you got roach saying they will expose cotto so he just sticking up for himself by stating facts bout pac's opponent

    i been sayin it a 50/50 fight althou i got cotto

      Pac gets a lot of credit in showing he is multidementional fighter and the Hatton/Delahoya fights shows what can he do. Even if the opponents are not up to par with him the skill level that he showed opened a lot of eyes. Hatton didn't have a good win even before the Floyd fight. If Cotto doesn't come prepared and think he is gonna walk thru Manny he is gonna be a sure loser. I can still remember Morales sitting on the canvass with a look like "wow I can't beat this guy" (and we know how much a warrior Morales is)

          I know a lot of people will take this quote and run with it like all the others, but seriously Miguel makes some good points here.

          Manny is not unbeatable. His fans seem to think he's basically unbeatable but it's not the case. I would bet the odds for Cotto in a Mayweather fight are much less. But then again Mayweather has proven to be basically unbeatable.

          All Cotto is saying is when you really look at Pac's resume, there's a lot of wins that maybe don't tell the whole story.

            Pacquiao has shown all he has, I believe he can't exceed more than shown and it won't be enough to beat Cotto,,Cotto has already shown heart,power and the ability to adapt in fights,and also the knowledge to stop speed fighters,Pac could'nt knock DLH down,in what mind will you see Pac knock Cotto OUT.....Theres no way in hell!!!!Cotto by KO in rd.7..

                  De La Hoya certainly didn't. Hatton certainly didn't.

                  Pac will eat his fair share of leather in this fight and you have to ask yourself as a Pacquiao fan, can he hang with the power of a legit welterweight who appears to be in his prime? Cotto has fought and eaten shots from massive welterweights (Clottey, Margarito) and dangerous punchers (Judah, Mosley). Who has Pacquiao ever fought that could bring the pain like the above mentioned fighters?

                      Miguel has been fighting monster welterweights. Are you kidding?

                      Oscar wouldn't even fight Margarito. He RAN to Pacman at the thought of it.
