    Can Cotto win a decision against Pacquiao?

    With the odds stacked up against Miguel Cotto: the issue with the catchweight, the belts at stake, the referee (Kenny Bayless), and the lucrative Mayweather fight against Pacquiao, are the odds too stacked up against Cotto?

    Can he actually win a decision against Pacquiao at the MGM Grand or are the powers-that-be too strong?

    He can, but he won't because this fight won't last 12 rounds. It might got to the scorecards due to a headbutt, but it won't go the whole 12 rounds.

      I don't think so. that would mean he wasn't able to hurt Pacquiao. If Pacquiao can take Cotto punches he wins. Pacquiao should be cruising along if its a decision, because he's the faster guy and he has better stamina than Cotto. Pacquiao can take the win by K.O. too.

      Cotto will likely be taken to deep waters and then drowned by Pacquiao punches.
      This is assumming that Cotto fights the same way he did vs Clottey. If Cotto can pace himself he has a better chance.

          No. For the sake of his rep Cotto better KO lil Pac in a WW fight. And he ain't got the stamina to win a UD anyway.

              thats not cottos problem that pacquiao started out at 106 lbs. all he has to worry about is fighting his fight, that being: counter punching pacquiao as he comes lunging in with the straight left, and using his timing to offset manny's speed. cotto has great timing and a great jab... thats gonna make the biggest difference in the fight for cotto and i believe too many people are counting cotto out on this fight IMO...

                if this fight goes to up to 5 rounds it means the featherweight can take cotto's punches.

                with how cotto gasses and how manny fights......cotto would not make it to 12.
