Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto: Let the hype begin

I'm going with Pacquiao on this one. I've enjoyed the 24 series on this matchup. I also see a knockout in the late rounds.

 

yes, pac wins this fight. then i want the pac/mayweather fight to happen that about 10 of you will reply to this post saying will never happen.

 

I think Cotto is going to have about a 10 lb weight advantage on fight night since he cuts quite a bit, may make a difference.

 

what???? sooo unfair!!!! cotto is cheating!!!! it's cheating!!!!

 

I remember when he fought DeMarcus Corley a few years ago at Junior WW (140) in Puerto Rico, he weighed in at 157 to Corley's 140. That seems almost unreal, probably scale-related hijinx there.

 

I like the matchup more then the Hatton v. Pacquaio. However, still think Pacman takes it in 6 rounds. I think he'll be faster then Cotto, and unless Cotto catches him with some power punches in the earlier rounds, Pacman will last out longer on stamina and get the 6-8 round knockout.

 

i think so too.

 

Don't mean to derail the thread but did anyone hear that radio interview where some underground rapper ask Floyd all the tough questions and basically exposes Floyd? Pretty interesting. Don't know why Floyd let some rapper get under his skin but it didn't make him look good. Ran his mouth a little too much and said very stupid things.

I want to see multiple KO, eventually Cotto wins.

 

I don't trust Cotto to win this one. He just looked so eminently hittable in that Clottey fight. Even if Pacquiao doesn't have the power to knock Cotto out, he should be able to move fast enough so that Cotto will end up eating a lot more shots than Pacquiao by the end 12 rounds. Without the Puerto Rican Day home court advantage, I doubt Cotto can win on the score cards if that happens.

 

The judges cards were ridiculous that night; Clottye vs Cotto. Gotta agree with you and say Pacquiao by TKO or decision.


might try to watch the 24/7 series this week

 

Cotto is heavily favored in Vegas' betting... +200

 

That is insane. I am pretty sure everyone things cotto is the underdog. I think cotto has a good chance, but manny has to be favored.

 

^^^^^^^
Manny is the more hyped fighter but this is the first time Manny has fought a pure welterweight. Cotto is a machine and his only lost is because it looks like his opponent had plaster in his wrapping. I got Cotto winning this fight and I see a lot of people have turn on to the Cotto bangwagon. I thought this fight was a bad fight up front for Manny when it was announced. If Cotto pulls this out I see a rematch between the two and see Floyd fighting Mosley Cinco De Mayo weekend.

 

No doubt Manny is a great boxer regardless of the outcome of this fight against Cotto. To beat Cotto will place him the greatest ever by winning 7 divisions.
