    What's likely to happen on November 14

    That Cotto will neutralize Manny's speed and hurt Manny early for a TKO win

    or

    that Manny's chin holds up and moves in and out for a UD/TKO win.

    I have a feeling these two factors will help decide the outcome of the fight.

    Cotto's already proven that he can handle speedy fighters but then again, Pacquiao is not just fast but he throws combos from all angles and packs a bit of a wollop in them hands.

    On the other hand, Pacquiao has never been hit by a true welter and is still open to nicely timed counters. Cotto has great timing, BTW, but Pac also hasn't been down in a long time.

    If Cotto can cut the ring off rather easily and constantly trap Pac its gonna be a tough fight...

    I think when Cotto corners him Pac will try and explode into combinations...if Cotto can eat the return fire and not get caught wit crazy **** I think he'll hold up...

    Center of the ring Manny should be better but everywhere else Cotto may have the advantage...

    Only thing I'd kinda be suprised with is if Cotto wins by decision...I think he would have to stop Pac or drop him at some point...

      That's why I didn't put UD for Cotto in the poll because if he can't take Pac out, I think it means that he couldn't catch Pac and he's probably going to get frustrated all night. If he catches Pac though, I think Manny gets hurt and Manny ****s with him and gets dropped.

      I'm still rooting for Manny, but that Rican's beard is pretty tough. Not to mention, the timing and the power.

        cotto is too big. he has to end it before the 6th tho or else he'll gas and the manny will beat him up.
