    Seven reasons why Pacquiao will get the 7

    1. Speed: This will be the big difference in this fight in favor of Pacquiao. Cotto has never faced a man with the fast hands, feet, head or torso as Pacquiao. Some has one or two of this asset but no all.

    2. Power: Power mean nothing when you cant find the target. In this case Pacquiao Power will be more relevant than Cotto's. Sum that to his awkward style, he is a weird case of boxer that can throw power punches from angles that for others fighters is just impossible and he does it with accuracy and precision.

    3. Stamina: If the fight goes with the fast pace that I do expect, Cotto doesnt belong in Manny's gas tank.

    4. Crowd. The crowd always plays an important roll and thats why in all major sports exists a term called "home court advantage". The Filipino star will shine brighter in this department.

    5. The judges. "IF" we get to a close fight, for anybody following boxing knows that Pacquiao is a Las Vegas favorite. As Kobe, LeBron, Wade and other superstars Manny will receive the benefit of the doubt.

    6. Corner. Say what you want but the corner is going to play a "Big" roll if the fight turn to be the classic and competitive bout that we all expect. Batman and Robin will be a factor.

    7. Intangibles: This go straight to Manny. All the stars appears to be aligned in his favor. He is entering the ring as the biggest star, has the momentum, is coming from dominating performances and present an unique style for fighting that normally only we should see in a movie. For a reason people start to call him the Bruce Lee of Boxing and many are catch by surprise when they face him for the first time.

    Said that, Cotto does have a chance to win the fight and that is with "the lucky punch". now put yourself the percentage of possibility of that happening and thats your prediction.

    Expect the man called "The Pacman" to finish this real life movie by round No. 9 of their scheduled "Firepower" Megafight next Saturday Nov. 14th.

      I commend your confidence in Pacquiao.

      Not a bad assessment of Manny's attributes, but #5 sounds like you're insinuating that even if Cotto edges Manny out, the judges will give Manny the nod instead?

      This could lead to a controversial decision which won't play too well in Manny's favor IF it comes to that.
