    Cotto lost to Margarito, doesn't mean he can't overcome adversity. I think Cotto will win but saying Manny hasn't been through hell and back to win is ******.

    He might have lost to Morales but in the second fight he was better for it, he was getting throughly outboxed in the first Marquez fight and was cut yet will still gunning for Marquez and not giving up, the 2nd fight he had a cut and won in a close fight kind of like Clottey-Cotto.

          I said overcome adversity. He's never gotten up from a knockdown or been hurt very badly and come back to win like Cotto has many times, Im just saying, its not Pac's fought that he hasnt had to Im just saying it will show in this fight.

            He was dropped in the first round by Barrera, and winning two wars of attrition is as much overcoming adversity than getting up from a knockdown. You said he has never been battle tested or faced adversity. Both are untrue.

              He was knocked down vs. Nedal Hussein then got up and stopped him.

                That wasnt a knockdown, like I said he hasnt been battle tested nowhere near what Cotto has and it will show.

                    The real battle is when you fight with a starving stomach. Pac experienced that... all his opponents lived in a comfortable life with Milk bottles in their refrigerators. Pac eats dried fish.
