Do you really think Cotto can beat Pacquiao?

I think he will floor Pacquiao actually. But they both have a chance to win.

Pacquiao beats ALL TIME GREATS like Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Dela Hoya and he also beat the undefeated in Jr-Welterweight Ricky Hatton who never loss at 140.

He only beat Shane Mosley and that's it. Name a fighter that he beat who belongs in the ALL TIME GREAT? Cotto only beat Class B fighter. This is the first time he will fight a legend in boxing.

Pacquiao is a beast "Class +A". Cotto will not survive. Pacman will TKO him.

Beating Mosley is a pretty big accomplishment if you ask me

Of coarse he can!! beat Manny, he is bigger, stronger and if he adopts the right kind of tactics he can stop Manny imo, that said i have to favour Pac at the moment, Cotto is going to have to fight outside the box to beat Pacquiao, he will have to close the distance faster than he likes to, he needs to abandon his cautious approach and press that gap constantly to make Pac expend energy, wear him down so he can take him out, problem with those tactics is, he runs the risk of getting nailed on the way in, however if he does not close the gap and fights patiently the way he likes to, Pac will get time and space and the speed of hand/foot will give him a problem imo.

No I think that would be a bad strategy man. Hatton tried that too much aggression no boxing and he got KO'd. Cotto needs to do the same things he usually does just do them as well as he can and he can win this fight.
