    lil pac is not zab judah, the same way cotto is no JMM each fighter has their own style of boxing.

    if cotto does have trouble with southpaws i think cottos training camp are finding ways to deal with this weakness and hopefully both fighters come in prepared for each others pros and cons or else it might be a short fights for one of the other guys..
    thats makes this fight exciting because no knows what will be the outcome of it.. But im still rooting for Manny in this one..

      I wouldn't be surprised if all of Cotto's sparring partners were Southpaws. His camp is definitely going to have him prepared for November 14. It seems like they're keeping their eyes on the prize. Manny Pac's camp though.....

        true, (though the current odds say otherwise) this even fight (IMO) between two great fighters is something to watch out for

        lol, training in the philippines is a bad idea for manny, lots of distractions, with the reported disasters and all, but hey, i heard manny's finally adjusting well to shawn porter and reports say they will recruit JLC as a replacement for omar henry, i say their doing quite well too... though if i were freedie id pop that damn basketball up so manny can focus more on boxing and not doing fadeaway jumpers

        (side note: maybe manny's experimentin with a fade away right hook, who knows, weird things happen in boxing )

              I'd have to disagree. I think Pacquiao punches harder than Judah. Also, Pac is even with Cotto on the Reach advantage I believe.

              For some inexplicable reason I'd be willing to bet that Cotto gets cut sometime during the fight.
              How in the world can lil pac be stronger than judah??? there is no way he is even 3/4 or 1/2 as strong as judah. Judah was no big puncher but he did had some pop and was a welterweight that combined with his speed gave cotto the problems he had earlier in the fight.

              Lil pac will be a blown up welterweight fighting a natural welterweight his power at that weight won't be as good as he is at lightweight (I can't say Jr welterweight since he faced only one boxer who was always a overated/glass chin fighter)

              This is a complete mismatch unless cotto has the same problem as dlh had with making weight. Cotto aint no over the hill dlh or an overated glass chin hatton. Once cotto demolishes pac or wins a unaminous decision reality will sink and everyone will abandon the pac bandwagon.

                  I thing Roach is a frustaded actor. I think he fail in hollywood and thats why he likes the show. Today say something and tomorrow say something complete different. He love the interviews and the camera. Pacquiao not even talk. Cotto have problems with southpaws ? I don't think so! What happen with Quintana and Judah. 2 of the top ten welter. And what happen to Chop Chop Corley?. Top 140. Now you tell if he have problems with southpaws

                    I mixed up the best defensive fighter and the best offensive fighter. I like them both so i mixed them up.. Nose and face mayweather while eyes and mouth are Manny's.. lolz..

                      Actually Judah's best weight is 140 not 147... Manny Pac has more explosive power than Judah, Judah is not much bigger than Pac, really you just exaggerate. Pac ****s on Judah. If Kostya can make him do the chicken dance then Pac will make him do the headless chicken dance.

                      The one thing you forget is that Pac is a fully fledged Jr. Welter. He's been able to carry his power and speed really well and even Roach said Pac's most comfortable weight so far is 140. After what he did to Hatton at 140 I dare not disagree.
