    the people inside seem to know miguel will come out victorious on the 14th. mayweather was also quoted saying "i wanna fight miguel cotto" in his most recent interview. the first name that came out of his mouth when he was being attacked in the interview. hbo is also obviously portraying cotto in an interesting way. whoever has seen the episodes can figure out what they're trying to do.

    that'd be the fight to make right there. honestly, pacquiao should serve as a good tune up for mayweather due to his speed. the experience will serve cotto good and he should be able to take some of what he learns to the mayweather fight.
    green k. Ive been observing the same thing

      If that's a yes, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.

      Exactly. That wasn't the "Oscar" we were expecting to see, lol.

      Anyway, "tune up" is a bit harsh, but in sense it is a lot like the JMM/Floyd fight in that the much smaller man will get rolled.

      Packy's not a WW. No matter what the hype around him says.

      If he was, there would be no need for a catchweight.

        True, I would like to retract the word "tune-up" I used. I would concede to the idea that pacquiao isnt as big of a challenge to Cotto like Mosley Margarito and Clottey.

        BUT it will probably be evenly matched the first couple rounds but then the strength and weight will start making a difference

          Yeah guys like Pac and JMM are too good and too professional to be labeled tune ups, but in both cases they're taking giant leaps in weight.

          This fight has been easy for me to handicap from the beginning simply based on Cotto's opposition.

          If he can fight big tough guys like Tony, Shane, Judah, Clottey, that can all hit harder than pac, are more physical than Pac, in 2 cases just as fast as Pac, what the hell is lil' Pac gonna show Cotto that he ain't seen or felt yet?

          Nothing.

          Packy's ***ed.

            **** u man.
            all guys who are tune ups are underdogs.this one is different.

            some people also once said that pac-dlh is tune up for pac-hatton then pac-hatton is a tune up for hatton-pbf II.but the're all wrong.

            this aint tune up for anything.this is a mega event for two mega fighters.

            floyd aint got balls man.he doesnt deserve anyone.

              Floyd > Cotto. Cotto would get schooled and probably stopped.

                Cotto doesn't touch the body, then Pacquiao's gonna onload, we're talking about someone who has 15 round stamina.

                      Please. Floyd couldn't stop a blown up FW.

                      Since when is Floyd stoppin' ****? Cotto/Floyd is a pickem fight. And I only say that because of Floyds awful style.

                      If he actually fought Cotto, Cotto would roll his ass.
