Ring Magazine Expert Predictions: 70% picked Pacquiao to win (see list inside)

[Dondi33O]

pac is too small... these people must've forgot how big floyd was compared to jmm.... jmm and pac ain't WWs.

Cotto is huge, enormous, large, bigger than big!!!

Ronnie Nathanielz is an expert? WTF?

[Dondi33O]

I agree. I have Pac winning by SD or UD.

I can certainly be wrong.

Wasn't it like 80% picking Hoya over Pacquiao?

Word to KILLA..haha!..

70% of them won't be shocked neither..as I believe that 99% of people picking Pacquiao already have their excuse about size advantage ready and in tact for the night of 11/14!

I am picking Pac via late round stoppage (10th)...and I am not part of this 99% that you are talking about....if 99% of people are picking Pac to win...why would they have an excuse ready? If you are talking about the "crazy *******s" then I understand...but don't generalize. If he loses, he lost to the better fighter...70% of the people who were asked (****m Richardson being the most credible) and chose Pac to win.....can't hate on that.

Most were not expecting Oscar to perform that bad that night. Most agree Oscar made a huge mistake going down to a weight he hadn't fought in for
many years. Compared to his fight against Floyd, Oscar's performance against Manny was like night and day.

Everyone saw that.

But against Cotto, Manny should prove that that fight was not a fluke as many believe it to be.

Sad, only Puerto Rican experts predict a Cotto win is this bulletin plus two scrubs, Malignaggi because Cotto wipe the ring with him and Holt because dream to fight the Pacman.

[Mr. Philadel]

this the type of **** that makes a fighter push himself harder in training.....if Cotto wasn't ALREADY motivated......this should get him right!!!.....I don't agree with the 70%......Pac is gettin' stopped!!

Why are you not sure? Cuz they pic Pac? Richardson picked Pac and he knows more about boxing then you and me put together. So how could you question him.

In reality this is a 50/50 fight. Both have their advanteges and both have their disadvanteges. Is an intruiging fight. I think is a pick'em fight. In my prediction I am leaning towards Pac. But, I could easily see Cotto winning this. It will not be an upset.

I agree with 50/50,so what's the problem,70% is a bit much,Cotto is no Hatton or weight drained Oscar!!People who even judge Cotto for the Clottey performance in a bad way,doesn't have a clue about 147 landscape!!In my prediction,I'm leaning towards the natural welterweight!!

I think 70% is ok. Most of those writers have their own biases and with pac's history of beating the odds, they are jumping on the bandwagon. I'm leaning towards pac. I can see cotto winning easily too. Only way will I be shock if pac will beat up cotto in a one-sided fight.

You leaning towards Cotto thats a good pick. But, it is 50/50 and I think you taking the 70% out of context. That was a group of 20 'experts' who gave a prediction. Dosen't meant that the 70% that picked Pac think it will be a landslide. It just so happens that out of the 20 people that gave a prediction 70% is going for Pac. If they get a new group of 20 people maybe 80% of the new ones are leaning towards Cotto. Don't worry about so much about the percentage.
