What a ******ed thread title D.
Pacquiao's already lost, more than once.
You make it sound as if he's undefeated.

This fight is a tough one to call for me, because I'd think that Cotto is ridiculously determined to banish the ghost of Margo and the fact that people are doubting him, plus he won't underestimate Manny like Ricky Hatton did, so he won't go in there thinking "this guy can't hurt me".
But Manny is on such a roll that he has an aura about him similar to Mayweather in that they are the most dangerous opponents out there in these weight classes, which means that you just feel that Manny is destined to win and a Floyd-Manny match up being the result. But you never know.Comment

I have posted quite a few times on why i think Cotto might win this fight, and I'm not going to repeat myself in this thread. But the more time goes on, the more i see from both of them, what they are doing, watching their respective evolution into the great fighters they are now, i used to have it (my opinion), about 51/49 cotto. but i have it tilted a bit more in Cotto's favour lately, now..like 55/45. I voted Cotto, Hellz yes! but a Manny victory is very possible.
Manny is my 2nd fav boxer and i have much respect for him and his accomplishments, and LOVE watching him fight, almost as much as Cotto. That killer instinct, his finishing power when he smells blood, his speed and power, and the man has heart. But so does Cotto. He's a smart boxer-puncher-brawler that can time well and has a nice talent for cutting off the ring. They are both studying each other on past fights.
But like has been said here many times, styles make fights, and both are preparing for each other styles, but what we will see in the ring, i think, weill be a bit different than both fighters past fight styles, and I find it absolutley fascinating to see how both fighter will have spent their time studying each others attributes and flaws, and making adjustments in real time before our eyeballs, which will be popping out of their sockets for anyone excited about this fight.
To be fair and completely objective, i think both guys have a pretty equal chance to win, but my opinion has Cotto to win cuz Manny is stepping into Cotto back yard, not vice versa. and there are quite a few non-Cotto fans (just nuetral) that say Cotto should be able to win this fight and has more to lose than Manny.
I think if Cotto does lose, he can still hold his head up high, cuz he's a warrior. And there's no shame in losing to the p4p best there is. Plus he's making a fortune, and on top of that, i think he will be more popular and will still get a couple mega-fights because he went up against the best, (p4p). Good luck to both guys and hope we get a good clean, fair fight, no fight inhibiting cuts, (no bull**** robberies if goes to decision), and nobody gets seriously hurt, cuz both these guys can seriously hurt someone.
Ok, so i did repeat myslef...lol. Excellent thread and vid, D!Last edited by jazluvr; 09-09-2009, 11:58 AM.Comment
