    Cotto vs Pacquiao to look like Hopkins vs Trinidad?

    The smaller bigger punching KO artist trying to make history, only to realize that he has bitten off a little too much. I am not saying that Pacquiao is as stationary as Tito, nor am I comparing the Cotto's skills to Hopkins much greater fighting knowledge. I am rather saying that could it be possible for Cotto do dominate the smaller man as Hopkins did Trinidad 8 years ago? It is a possibility, but then again Hopkins didn't get badly damaged in his fight before and receive a SD that could have gone either way, or get taken away in an ambulance after facing a scrub in Margarito. Pacquiao has also looked like the loser against Marquez, and has lost a few times.

    Interesting fight, should have an interesting conclusion, but I think Pacquiao edges him.

    pac > tito

    hopkins > cotto

    but cotto is still too big for pac.

      Yes since they have little in common.

        Read the post, I said they have little in common other than being the underdog against a smaller man.

          You could be right about that. I think people are underestimating Cotto. If Pacquiao wasn't able to knock out or even knock down DLH, what makes them think he's gonna destroy Cotto?

            DLH even weight drained has a better chin than Cotto.

              I know joke.
              I agree I think Cotto is just going to be too young and strong for Paq to pull his magic.

                It's not gonna be anything like Trinidad-Hopkins. Pacquiao by TKO8.
