I know who's Manny Pac' and I know of what he's capable of doing on the ring but if you know about boxing you should know that this is a fight that even him knows is going to be hard to win. BTW Cotto by KO........
    Cotto by KO if he can hit Manny.

      the problem is that Cotto lost to Margarito and a close decision vs Clottey while Pacquiao TKO De La Hoya and KO Hatton.
      If they would of fought before Pacquiao beat de la hoya. Many people would say that Pacquiao wouldnt have a chance

        That mother ****er ruined Cotto with his plaster-wrap beating of Cotto. Cotto was a much better fighter before the Margarito fight with great wins over Mosley and Judah. I don't care what anyone else says, Margacheato doesn't just cheat against Old men, he cheated against probably everyone he has ever fought.

          As laughable as it is, Cotto is somehow the underdog here against a guy who a year and a half ago was fighting at 130... I wouldn't call it an upset win even if he ko's Pac in round 1.

            You guys have had a tall glass of the PAC-Koolaid. Mannys only clear advantages are his speed and corner. Cotto is stronger,bigger in fact he will be the largest opponent PAC has faced by far come fight night, has elite timing. Last but not least dont forget how versatile Cotto is, in a way PAC is one dimensional but hes amazing at that one demension.

              Cotto will land and land often. Pacquiao is fast but it's not like he's Mayweather or prime Roy Jones fast and he has always been open for punches.

              For all that Pacquiao has improved, he is still the same come forward fighter. Freddie Roach never tells Pacquiao anything other than "We don't back up. We only go forward and back this man up." Those are the only commands that Roach tells Pacquiao.

              Pacquiao is exciting and one of my favorites but people seem to think he is a completely different fighter than he was a few years back. The only difference is that he has add some more punches to his game but other than that he is still the come forward fighter he has always been.

                If you watched the Hatton fight, Manny fought going backwards at times. So no, Manny is far from one dimensional pressure fighter.

                  It may be difficult to land on Pac {With his movement} but if Cotto lands flush - Pac is going to feel real power. And that may be the determining factor in the fight - Can Pac avoid Cotto for 12 rounds and can he really take Cotto's power.

                  In any case .... Pac is the UNDERDOG and it would be a shocker of monumental proportions if Pac was to beat Cotto.

                    According to most boxing experts Cotto is the underdog.

                      Cotto is the bookies underdog, everywhere.
