Of course, the No.1 P4P will win. It will be a hard fight, cause Cotto is a natural welterweight, but still, I would be surprised if Cotto wins.
PS.: That site is really, really great, No.1 Pacquiao related site. Thank you, for creating this.
the 7 division champion the boxing greatest and still the pound 4 pound champion best in the wooooorld mannnnnnnnnny the pacman pacquiaaaaaaao!
who's next in line
Cotto suits me fine
he will go down in nine
so guys bring your wine
in vegas we will dine
nov 14 pacman will shine
glory to God divine
mexicans will whine
when Cotto is KOd in nine.
holy shit, the predictions was a Pacquiao Landslide! i hope that doesnt jinxed manny though!
Don't count Cotto out,he is a great fighter,like pacman he is a clean figther,gentleman in many ways.The only lost he had was with Margarito and he was cheated.
The prediction is scarring me so much for Pacman.I hope this won't be like DeLaHoya Pacquiao figth.
Mr.Freddie Roach I like you more when you are in a low profile. Keep your style intack.Keep quite. Show and do your prediction in the ring,like you always do. Action speaks louder than words. Don't be like Mr.F.Mayweather Sr.
i want Pacman to be the underdog..we cant underestimate Cotto...hope Pacman will train harder than he used to against Hatton..
Pacman please train hard,do'nt underestimate Mr.Cotto he is a great warrior too.
Who the hell thinks that cotto is much bigger than pacquiao? Lmao! Same height almost the same reach and now the same weight. Your stupid if you don't know that. Lol!
i smell huge shock among these people soon! but then...i'm going for Pac also :). I see those straight punches finding its home against cotto's open defense in the middle. Straight and move...straight and move..that should be the tactic.
THIS IS A GREAT FIGHT! WHY IS THE PRICE OF TICKET BETWEEN PACMAN & HATTON WAS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PACMAN /COTTO.
I would like to see Pac win, and think he probably will. But people seem to be underestimating Cotto. Cotto is a tough tough guy, probably tougher than anyone Pac has faced. It might not be as easy as every says. Cotto could give him some real trouble.
The key to success is for Team Pac and Freddie Roach in particular to stay modest and stick to the game plan. The time will come when they get over confident and get burned bad. It might not be this might, and it might not be the next, but that's typically the way things go (remember Buster Douglas?). Freddie needs to stick with what has worked before and realize that Cotto is not going to be a walk-over.
My perfect world result is that Pac KO's Cotto, Mayweather decisions Marquez, then next year Pac DEMOLISHES Mayweather!

That was because it was expected for at least 10,000 Hatton fans to fly over to and SPEND their stronger currency in Vegas. Just like it was during PBF v Hatton fight. It's all about money.
Compare the two working the heavy bag. Cotto moves slow motion; Pacquiao moves like fast foward. This fight is going to end the same way as Dela Hoya fight.
We should no be preassuming the ability of Pacman. Though he's being dubbed as the most exciting boxer today but all his powers are just but God given gift. Manny dont become concieted, maintain your low profile. If you won the fight dont climb up to the ring corner right away showing arrogantly your might before the audience as other boxers did. Pls have a gesture of empathy to the one you knocked out..ok
Please tell Idol Pacquiao to sport only his trunks instead of wearing shorts on his nex weigh-in schedule...He's got a phenomenal body and he should show his wonderful body even exposing his thighs to the audience!!! I liked what he wore in weigh-in on his 1st fight with marquez. He was wearing only his trunks. He should do this again. I'm looking forward to his next weigh in and reveal his awesome physique!
i like manny and cotto. both are my favorite fighters.doesnt matter who wins they both already earned my respect, not just for being tough warriors but probably for being the 2 most humble boxers in boxing history.im mainly a pac man fan but ive seen a lot of cottos fights to know that he can be very dangerous for manny. and also knows what manny can do to cotto.both fighters have the ability to knock each other out. i would not even bet on this fight. whoever fights smart and careful that night wins.
it's like pacquiao fighting a younger but less talented de la hoya...
pacquiao's right hook and uppercut with his left cross will win this bout.......
cotto fights like de la hoya..
a converted southpaw who throws good left jabs and left hooks....
he will get countered whenever he throws that right cross...
manny's speed and power will prevail..
the fight is fast approaching but nobody can tell us who will be the winner. manny is a great fighter and cotto's too, so lets us wait for a big jugdement on november.
I see another pacquiao show, another masterpiece and the elements we have already seen. A beating worse than diaz and de la hoya and a merciful knock out more spectacular than hatton.
cotto fights like heavyweight fighter moving slow,hes body moves slow, i think pacman will win this coming fight!
Cotto can hit but is slow as hell. Cotto will be hit so many times his face will be messed UP. Why are Cotto fans upset about the weight it only two pounds you can take a shit and already loss a pound, his last fight Cotto weighed 146. Also Sugar Ray lenard and other past fighters did the samething this is Pacman first catchweight fools don't be mad that Manny picked Cotto Fools Cotto agred to the fight Cotto is stupid then Cotto doesnt think. Pacman fought way more top fighters then Cotto. Remember Pacman is a born puncher and punchers are born not made as said by Teddy Atlas. Guys Pacman started at Flyweight 106 pounds this guy was a jockey does that amaze you and is power since then traveled up through the weights. Power does not win fights but speed, lateral movement. Pacman is going to win by points but i dont see a ko win..
Pacquiao would not be named as the "Pacman" without any reason at all. Cotto will be eaten up by Pacquiao as the true Pacman eats his enemies. Speed, power and skills are the factors that will make Pacquiao succeed against Cotto.
Cotto will be KO'd by Pacquiao in the 9th Round.
The only word that i can is "SPEED". I am dead certain that you know what i am talking about.
The only word that i can say is "SPEED". I am dead certain that you know what i am talking about.
Cotto's reputation as a good fighter will never be the same again after his fight with Pacquiao in November. All of Pacman's power emanates from his feet, his lateral and side to side movement and a little bit of smart thinking.
I agree with all of you! PACMAN will always be the greatest computer game of all time...ooops, are we talking about the boxer? well, I adore his mother more than him.
I love you NANAY DIONESIA!!!
1st of all my hat is off for Manny's achievements he is a CLASS ACT! However for all the Manny cheerleaders I remind you Cotto is not your typical chump boxer....Boxing is a Sport of up's & down's, this fight will be remembered as " Cotto school's Manny and shocks the Boxing so called Experts". Cotto will knock out Manny between the 3rd n 5th rd.....No one is invincible, ask Tyson in his fight with Buster...ask Manny in his fight with Cotto!! I will return with a post after the fight.
Cotto will win. A hook to the body will finish the job.. >Adamas
pacman will win!!!
Sure win for manny no doubt about it keep going Pacman
both fighters are great fighter. most guys said that cotto has the size advantage but for me size doesn't matter strong and shape of the body will tell.
size doesn't matter speed n pinoy power
COTTO IS GOING TO SHOCK THE WORLD IN MY EYES HE IS STILL UNDEFEATED.HE WILL BE #1 NO DOUBT PAC MAN IS A GREAT FIGHTER BUT COTTO WOULD HAVE DESTROYED OSCAR AND RICKY ALSO.JUST LIKE MOSLEY,JAB,ETC.IF MARGARITO DID'NT CHEAT HE WOULD STILL BE UNDEFEATED WE ALL KNOW THIS IT'S KNOW SECRET MOSLEY BEAT MARGARITOS
ASSSS... AND COTTO BEAT MOSLEY YOU DO THE MATH. EVERYONE FORGOT HOW COTTO DOES WITH FAST FIGHTERS BECAUSE OF THAT LOST WHICH IS STILL IN QUESTION. BESIDES PAC MAN NEEDS TO STAY AT JUNIOR W.WEIGHT IF HES NOT READY TO FIGHT THE BIG DOG.BASICALLY IN OTHER WORDS PAC MAN SAYS PLEASE MR.COTTO I CAN'T BEAT YOU AT 147 POUNDS SIR CAN YOU HELP ME OUT AND COME IN AT 145 POUNDS SO YOU WONT BE AS STRONG.HOW CAN YOU IDIOTS RESPECT THAT.I HOPE COTTO KNOCKS HIM OUT IN THE 6-9 ROUND FOR THAT BS.OH AND FYI AFTER COTTO BEATS PAC MAN HE WILL BE THE FIRST TO BEAT FLOYD BECAUSE COTTO IS UNDEFEATED. COTTO WILL THEN GIVE FLOYD A REMATCH THEY WILL BOTH HAVE 1 LOSE EXCEPT FLOYDS WONT BE QUESTIONABLE. TAKE THIS A THINK ABOUT IT. PAC MAN IS SCARED OF COTTO AND WE ALL KNOW IF YOU ARE SCARED GOING INTO THE RING YOU ALREADY LOST THE FIGHT. BARBERSHOP LIVE! P.S. MAYBE ITS NOT PAC MAN WHO IS SCARED MAYBE ITS FREDDY ROACH. WE ALL KNOW WHAT ROACHES DO WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON.IF I WAS ON COTTOS STAFF I WOULD COME IN AT 147POUNDS AND MAKE EVERYONE BOO PAC MAN FOR NOT FIGHTING HIM AT 147 OR WILL FIGHT HIM AND GET PUNISHED EITHER WAY COTTO WILL FIGHT FLOYD BECAUSE HE WILL BE THE #1 CONTENDER AFTER FLOYD BEAT PAC MAN IF IT WAS TO GO DOWN LIKE THAT.COTTO IF YOU READ THIS YOU ARE GOING TO BE #1 NO DOUBT IN MY MIND COME IN AT 147 PUT THE PRESSURE ON MR. ROACH IF HE RUNS WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON EVERY ONE WILL BOO PAC-MAN. IF HE FIGHTS YOU YOU ALREADY KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU ARE THE BEST TRUST ME,DO NOT SETTLE OR COME DOWN IN WEIGHT FOR NOBODY. COTTO COTTO COTTO COTTO PAC-MAN HAS NOT BEEN HIT AS HARD AS YOU WILL HIT HIM.TO THOSE WHO SAY SIZE DOES NOT MATTER TELL THAT TO MR. ROACH OR PAC-MAN. GOOD NIGHT!
i really believe on pacman's speed and power, the explosive punching power of pacman will slow down cotto and might knock down at 6th round and start to dominate the fight until pacman knock out cotto.cotto is not a joke kind of boxer if pacman give him a chance, cotto is so dangerous fighter just base on his resume and record, but i believe once pacman start to sweat he will never stop until he finish the job,once he sweat he doesn't feel anything but to stop cotto.
1 + 1 = 2,,, pacman,, has a blinding speed,,super power on both hads,, a bit of skill,,, i believe that pacman has a suspect chin,, but the way he moves now,, i hope his opponent knows how to deal w/ knock out loss
they are both great fighters! but i believe the speed, power and "timing" of pacman is the big asset for this fight. well cotto also has the ability to take punches, and no doubt cotto is the elephant in the ring. so the fight will last to 12Rds in favor for pacman, but the slowness of cotto compare to pacman speed can also make a possible accident like what hatton happened in the second rd.
I believe that roach will knock tyson, hollyfield is a great boxer.
I'm sure that Pacquiao will knock Roach out, cause Pacquiao is the King of pop, he sings well.
Well, everyone of you want Pacman to win by ko or decision because of his speed and skill but I tell you what? Something that you dont know about Cotto is his best hook and more strong than pacman...I think Cotto is going to win a big time, I would not say about ko or decision but that is his way of doing to do against Pac.
Keep your words in your mind not in heart.
I see Cotto coming out using his jab to keep Manny at bay for the first few rounds trying to find a hole to slow Manny with body punches. I see Manny coming out the way he has been for the last couple of years. I can't see why ppl don't notice Manny's defensive flaws as it's not necessarily evident as he's been great busy offensive fighter, it's like being swaarmed by bees. Cotto's chin was tested by Torres and he prevailed in that fight. He was quite impressive with a hard punching Zab J and a foot fast Mosley which are qualities Manny both possess. Easy to see Manny getting a TKO, difficult to see total domination by Cotto, but Cotto knows what he needs to do to win as well. As the cliche goes, styles make fights. It'll be a good fight if not FOTY. Boxing needs an upset, cheer for the champ but bet on the underdog.
PAC PA PA PAC PAC PAC PAC, PACMAN WILL WIN,YHE BEST BOXER EVER LIVED.....AND STILL CURVING HIS NAME IN A MONUMENT OF GREATEST BOXERS!!THE BEST OF HE VERY BEST
P4P KING dont lose, Pacman is the best boxer in the world on everyones eyes... Pacquiao will knockout Cotto in anyways possible, he is the best of the best... No one can match up to the Filipino star.... LIKE ME!!! Pacquiao all the way...
d question is how many punches can cotto take b 4 he knock down a hundred or a thuosand
pacquiao will surprise the world..
if manny circles to his left and throws the jab uppercut or hook upper combo he'll be successful.
The bigger opponent does not always prevail, as proven by Pacquiao in previous matches. Pacquiao will destroy Cotto in round 6
The bigger opponent does not always prevail, as proven by Pacquiao in previous matches. Pacquiao will destroy Cotto in round 6
The Pacman was clocked throwing an average of 64 punches for each round against Hatton. Do the math for Cotto in 12 rounds. Cotto will go down early anyway and he'll drop like a sack of platanos with a face like chopped Christmas ham.
otot na si cotto, mahimo na cya nga lusa.hahahaha, pero pagbantay pud ni cotto kay maka kagid na ang imo shampoo dili raba pang cotto pang kaspa ra.hahahaha
dilikado si pacman ug dili cya mubalhin ug shampoo nga pang cotto kay pildi jud cya ana.
roach is understimating cotto but i really believe that what roach said is quite ridiculous. You can't do that to cotto as easy as that. I think the only way pacman can beat cotto is by points. I have a strong feeling that cotto will TKO pacman between 6 to 9 round, mark my word roach.
pag hilum mong tanan mura mug itik..inyong mga baba..murag lubot sa manok cge ramog dada..tan awa nalang ninyo sa november 14 kung kinsa ang mudaog..mura pd mog analyst..pag hilum mo oy....
Big left hook to the body. That's it. Cotto by KO.
Pacquiao will surprise the world when he get knocked down by cotto on november 14. The underdog will win and the puertorican flag will more brightness than ever. Puerto Rico do it better will see.
3 stars and a sun!!
Pacquiao will knockout Cotto between 6 to 8 rounds. While Cotto is relatively a tough guy in the ring, Manny's speed, power and movements will prevail.
Watch how the mexicutioner will transform into a puertoricutioner this November. Believe me guys. . . Boxing afficionado of Baler, Aurora.
speed will be the facter of this fight. cotto will take to long to throww a punch while pac is throwing none stop punches decision to pac in 12TH
I think, the match up of Manny P. against M. Cotto is a big mismatch. I can see a TKO in an early rounds...Manny can send Cotto to the E.R department and if not could possibly kill him by powerful punches of Manny the 'pound4pound' champ, or an early retirement of Miguel Cotto this year. If he did not taste a real world of boxing fight, now he should think twice before fighting with Manny. there is still time to back out
I can see a mismatch in this fight. I can see another TKO in this fight. Three things that will probably happen to M. Cotto "The Pride of Puerto Rico" after the fight:
1. he will acquire serious injuries, so paramedics should be alerted, in case of his loss of conciousness.
2. an early retirement and the loss of confident of many people in his ability to fight in another match up
3. a life to remember TKO by Manny as he will have a new record in history of boxing "7th world championships in different divisions"
I think Mayweather will face the same tragedy as he faces Pacman in the next bout. but I think it won't happen because Floyd talks a lot and many excuses because he is afraid to Manny as he knows he will be defeated.
yah , yah , yah speed by manny pacquiao will knock out puerto rican miguel cotto...
Can I make a request? I want to see all boxers who defeated by Manny Pacman fight among themselves. If one boxer will emerge victorious, well, he should have a chance to fight for another bout against Manny Pacquiao. That includes Miguel Cotto "the underdog"
PACMAN wins! Cotto losses!
I think I can see a great fight, it is hard to predict but I can see a knock out. Miguel Cotto will be knocked out probably in the first to fourth rounds only. The fight will not go a distance.
pacman will ko cotto coz right now pacman is invicible fernando macalino magalang pampanga
right now pacman is the best floyd is only after the huge bucks
if pacman didnt ko cotto b4 the end of 5th round.he better start praying.
i agree with you fernando macalino, e maton ,masantol pampanga,pacman is going to be a legend.like elvis presley
I strongly belive that cotto will ko pacquiao. cotto is a clever fighter unlike de la hoya "weight drained", and hatton. Besides, he is also very strong and tested for his strenght against speed and much bigger opponents. I feel pacquiao struggle on this fight and will get "ko" between 6 and 9 round.
Pacquiao won't be able to knock out cotto. His chin is too good. Don't know why everyone thinks this is in the bag. Cotto is a great fighter and at his peak. Pacquiao's advantage is his speed. Anything could happen. That said cotto dosen't look as sharp in the gym as Pacquiao
Pacquiao likes to mix it up.When he does do it,he gets a bit disorganized.He's defense is he's offense .He's throws punches like a mad men with his blistering speed.Cotto is more mental,analizing his opponent.Those who say that Cotto will be ko by Pac really don't know how they can get to that conclusion.Cotto has never been knockout.He's chin is made of granite.This will be a close fight.Taking all things into consideration I believe if pac keeps his distance and moves continuosly he will win.If he mix it up with Cotto he will win.
Everybody believed Hatton was big, strong and can take PacMan punch. Nobody felt he can be knocked out in the 2nd round, much less knocked down in the 1st. Everybody believed PacMan tried to bite more than he could chew on ODLH. Nobody thought ODLH would quit on his stool. Again, I can't imagine getting knocked down much less knocked out. But who knows, PacMan gave us surprises after surprises. I believe PacMan really was a born warrior for us to enjoy. I also feel he is yet to surprise us yet again. Enjoy him while he's still fighting. It may take another 30 years before another one like him excite the sweet science.
Cotto does not have to run from Pac-man. I beleive he can walk right thru him. Just a matter of when Cotto catches him with a good left hook (within 5 rounds) and it it will be lights out for Pac-man. Roach knows and is hoping for a miracle by trying to fool himself that Pac man can take Cotto.
My hungry warrior Miguel Cotto is going to knock the Philipine so hard he won't come back to The USA to fight any boxer. This is just a prediction.
this is a serious topic, my heart is beating faster and faster as i read those predictions. Of course i go with manny, but cotto is not just an ordinary boxer. he's though and fast too. i disregard he's lost to margarito bcoz A.M. cheated in that fight. go manny!!!go go go!!!
If both boxers plays smart, then its a very hard fight for both of them. i think it wil gone to the judges' scorecards. that will be a pacman advantage... BTW both of them are mya favorite boxers...luv them both...LOL
every body thinks that speed it's all , but its not like that, u know why? cause it shane mosley underfeated? ray leonard, zab judah, paul malignaggi, and the same pacquiao. speed not warrantee a victory. remember that
WOW!!! EVEN MANUEL PEREZ IS BETTING ON PAQUIAO TO WIN. IS THIS EVEN CREDIBLE? AFTER ALL THE THRASH TALKS
3 rounds and its all over ! Pacman will say Cotto now you know. . . .
I like how people underestimate COTTO. I believe he will show why he is the best fighter in the 147 pounds. A NATURAL 147... I can't wait to see how Pacquiao will react to his punches once COTTO connects one.
manny should be extra careful during the fight. cotto might pull off a big surprise. this guy is also a great fighter like pacman.
nobody really knows what's gonna be the outcome. both are strong, fast, talented and they're warriors both fighting with two great fists not just with mere talkative tounges. may the best boxer win.
"Who the hell thinks that cotto is much bigger than pacquiao? Lmao! Same height almost the same reach and now the same weight. Your stupid if you don't know that. Lol!"
Wow your an idiot if you think fighters weigh the same on fight night than they did at weigh-ins. Cotto said he will be 160 in the ring. Manny will be 142-144.
if cotto will be at 160 in fight night after a 145 weight in just 4 an over night ? cotto will be knock out in no time. he will be very slow,very soft just like a stuff toy. u fool.
Manny has a big heart, but he is stepping into the ring with a natural welterweight he will go via knockout...if he could be knocked out by a featherweight when he was in that division...will not be a problem for Cotto, he'll make a lot of money and leave the sport. I don't think he would've made it past Sugar Shane Mosley, Mayweather, Margarito, Zab Judah....I agree with the guy above he'll end up in the Phillipines making movies and in politics.
Cotto dominates in power. I believe that Cotto will KO pac in 4th round.
see Cotto ready to dismantle Pacquiao
Despite all the bad critics in both sides, November 14 mania is unstoppable (Pacquiao vs Cotto) will show the world, how interesting boxing sport is!
Speed for Manny + Power for Cotto = entertainment
Good Luck to Both fighters! True warriors!
Big respect for Cotto but Pacquiao all the way!!!
miguel cotto is one of the most dangerous fighter in the welterweight division (147lbs), but he is too slow for the greatest boxer manny pacquiao. I think manny'the destroyer' 'pacman' Pacquiao will win the fight. 12rounds unanimous decision or cotto TKO between 10-11 rounds. remember the tyson vs bruno fight and dela hoya vs Pacquiao!!!!!!!!! I'm jomer 'cute'conception from brg.Dita Sta.Rosa Laguna Philippines
Cotto will beat manny pacquiao. Everyone bettting against Cotto is wrong from the experts to the fighters. Pacquaio is not brute enough for Cotto.
When Manny fights ODH they said "ODH is too big for money, then Manny win. Hatton will destroy manny by his body punch" again Manny wins. Same thing for Cotto they said "Cotto is too big for manny". Remember how Pacman destroyed all of his opponents including ODH and Hatton and ask, is he has a power? LOL some people dont see it..if Cotto has the power Manny is a machine.
think of that pacmans doubters.
You are all very wrong. Cotto will win the fight by decision. It will be a very hard and bloody fight. Cotto will outsmart Paquiao. He wlll use his great skills, determination and his left hook.
Cotto will win by decision. As soon as Paquiao feels Cotto's left hook, Paquiao will cry like a chick. He will get his ass kicked!!!
On the real, this will certainly be a tough fight between the both of them. Cotto's been underrated and people will be surprised by him. Pacquiao is going to get a little rocked but he'll still maintain his strength and strategy throughout the fight.
Pacquiao will win by decision.
it's nerve racking. a lot are expecting a pacquiao win. i do hope it will, whatever it may be, ko or decision
I strongly disagree to the comments of that certain BARBERS. Who the hell do you think you are when in fact both fighters already agreed to the catch weight which is 145 lbs. In your comment, you said Freddie Roach is the one who is afraid to face Cotto at 147lbs.(his category weight as the champion) but what I see in you BARBER), is that you are the one who is afraid that Pacquiao will face Cotto at 145 lbs. as agreed.
Please don'nt mislead the readers in bringing the true and near facts between this two BEST Fighters.
After watching 24/7 my concern is not Pac man beating Cotto, but the catch weight he's coming in at. He should pull a Mayweather and come in in at 146, pay the fine and KO Pac man.
Fight at a comfortable weight.
HeHeHe!!!! Pac-Man body will be tested on november 14, and he will not survive that..Cotto is the most dangerous body puncher and jabber of the actuality, and if you see Pacquiao record, you will see that his to ko losses were with body punches. Nobody, Morales, Barrera & Marquez (Mnny best fights) has test Pac-Man body as Cotto the killer will do. Believe me!!! Cotto by ko in any round, is only question that Manny test any of Cotto's power punches.
Please check Pacquiao-Barrera 8th round for reference of Manny weak body ressistance...
let me tell u something manny for me he never fight with a good fighter,barrera no good,hatton jajaja eighter de la hoya hes to old etc. Cotto fight the best fighter mosley and you know the rest cotto will win by tko or desicion on november 14 u will respect cotto and mayway be ready for u first lose..jajajaj COTTO ALL DAY..
COTTO WIN BY TKO ON THE 6 OR 9
always remember this: "cotto is not fighting a non-moving guy. he's lucky if he catches him with a left hook. but with pacquiao's lightning feet and hands, and great timing, i doubt it very much."
manny's camp has studied cotto well and strategized for possible scenarios in the upcoming bout. diligence + wits + explosive hands = victory via k.o. in the 9th. my apologies for cotto supporters but this would be the likely outcome.
Yeah. it's funny how pac haters always have excuses. when pac was scheduled to fight dlh, pac was the underdog because they thought dlh's size is going to make him the winner. heck, some even urged pac to call off the fight. when pac won, the haters said that was because dlh is already old.
with hatton, they said that the guy is a lot stronger than pac. and that he will more likely finish pac with body punches. yet, he almost got knocked-out during the 1st round.
now against cotto, they still believe that size and power is going to kill pacquiao. don't you guys ever learn?
COTTO WILL WIN AND PUNISH. COTTO'S ABILITY TO WITHSTAND PAIN IS AMAZING. MOSELY,CLOTTY,HANDS OF STONE MARGARIT0 ARE ALL CAPABLE OF PUNISHING THE SMALLER PAC-MAN. IN CONTRAST PAC-MAN HAS BECOME THE GREEN HORNET WITH A TOTAL OF MAYBE 11 ROUNDS IN TWO CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS AGAINST CREAMPUFFS LIKE LITTLE RICKY, AND I CAN'T GET OFF THE STOOL OSCAR. COTTO TKO 11
Pac-man...I love the guy, but I honestly believe he went a bit too far this time. He could come out of his corner with a 2x4 and he won't ko Cotto. He's the money maker but on the 14th he will be out boxed, out punched and knocked out.
I don't see Freddie Roach as confident as he was with DLH and Hatton. He trained DLH so he knew his limits as an older fighter. Ricky Hattton's achilles tendon was exposed by Mayweather.
Sugar Shane couldn't outbox Cotto, Zab Judah caught him with an uppercut from hell and didn't phase him and Margarito with loaded gloves didn't really put the lights out. I just can't see it.
PACMAN-
I BELIEVE IN YOU. PLEASE WIN. I HAVE PLACED $2,200 BET & EXPECTING $880 BACK. PLEASE DON'T LET ME DOWN. GO PACMAN!
capable of beating pacquiao? yes, if the fight has been staged 4 or 5 years ago when the kid was not as skillful and witty as today. but look at him now. and what makes him exciting was his unpredictability and his ability to throw punches at odd angles. cotto ain't seen nothing like that and he won't know what'll hit him on fight night 'cause the pacquiao camp has skinned cotto from day one of their training. the 'michael jordan' of boxing will emerge victorious!
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. According to Fredie Roach, they will not fight Cotto if he comes in more than 2 lbs heavier than 145 lbs. That means Cotto can come in at 147 lbs, pay the US$2M fine and Manny will still fight him. Cotto fans should not make the weight an excuse if their fighter loses to Pacquiao. He and his manager agreed to this and they can actually come in at 147 lbs if they're not comfortable with 145 lbs. (why agree to it in the first place?). So if Cotto comes at anywhere between 145 lbs. and 147 lbs., Pacman will fight him. No difference in the weight, Pac will KO him all the same. Next,... - OrlyS
A lot of sports greats went down because of one thing, OVER CONFIDENCE. When you feel you just can't do any wrong. I'm a big PACQUIAO Fan and I hope he cashes in on COTTO. To Manny TRAIN hard because this dude from Puerto Rico has what it takes to make you kiss the canvass for good, the way you made HATTON stare the rafters of the MGM Grand for the next 6 minutes or so. When you're number one everybody wants claim what you have. In the end, I'd say PACMAN over COTTO via KO. Goodluck Manny..... Sing after the fight.
Iwanna thank all of those pacquiao fans for make him favorite but I will put some money in my pocket when cotto defeats pacman, I know ,Iknow ,many of you will think Im crazy, but,I know cotto,will win , big time,here's a preview,cotto will meke him suffer wit left hooks,well, thers a lot to say but ,just wait and see, you will say this, f....ng guy was right,and also a marquez vs pacquiao111, wont happen,if edwin valero gets his visa to come to the usa he will fight , marquez and knock him out,and marquez retires, then ,he may have ,pacquiao, comeback fight ,he's gonna get knocked out by the pacman.
#1 Pound for pound: Mayweather; Cotto and Pacman want to take that from him. Cotto will stop Manny by neutralizing that lil spin he does, then he will slowly break him down when Manny goes to backing up. In the end Pacman will go down by ko. Neither Manny nor Cotto will beat Mayweather on their best night. Prediction: Pacman loss, but still gets the Mayweather fight.
Like Freddie Roach said "I study the bad habits Cotto has not the mistakes"...but guess what Manny has bad habits too...he still holds his right low which cost him to get knocked out early in his career by a smaller guy than him.
manny cant help himself, he will engage with the bigger fighter, and he will pay. cotto is in his prime and will not back off. pac-man will finally feel the power of the welter weight division. freddie roach and cotto would make a better team.
I can of sense a bit of frustration this time around from Freddie Roach while training Manny...I don't see the same attitude in the camp as in the Hatton camp. I take my hat off to both camps though, they have conducted themselves like true professionals. In contrast to the Mayweather team where it seems like the only professional is Mayweather and the rest behave like a bunch of hoodlums using fowl language on national tv. I can't see how Mayweather allows it.
meant to say as while preparing for Hatton.
Pacman will win, more than the height and the weight he's mighty talented
Cotto is only a "head lice" for Packman, that's what means on her own dialect...
Packman is a true blooded warrior from the bloods of Lapu-Lapu (Chieftain of Mactan Who Killed Magellan, First Filipino Hero), Andres Bonifacio (fight the spaniards who is the Great Plebian and Father of the Katipunan. ), Dr. Jose Rizal (never afraid to die for his country our national hero), Diego Silang (Leader of the Ilocano Revolt) and others... "...ang mamatay ng dahil sayo." even if he will make mistakes he will comeback and kill Cotto to canvass. . . i know that inside Manny is shaking, he is shaking because he is very eager to KO Cotto at what ever rounds... hold your breath and don't blink your eyes 'till fight night... we're not talking of big money here but big pride and glory... GO MANNY FIGHT TO DEATH, AS IN, THIS IS YOUR LAST FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, MY HERO I PRAY FOR YOUR VICTORY.
In order to beat pacman...u must have SPEED, if Cotto is slow in this coming event, im sure pacman will knock him out! Coz Pacquiao uses his speed all of his fight, No Strategy at all, Just speed...watch his videos, past fights...
2nd round ko. just like ricky hatton. Another boxing history. LambertCaleon
I wanna hear a comment from everyone that has posted when Pacman goes down. You guys are the one making him the favorite, so others can cash in with good odds. Everyone is beatable and Manny is no different. You see they have pushed him to his limit, he'll make a lot of money, but when the bell rings you'll see Pacman is no superman.
May GOD BLESS PACMAM!
I think the nite for manny is over..he was lucky when he fought against marquez because i dnt know what type of fight the judges where seeing because marquez in the first fight gave him a good boxing lesson and whatever the people say we all know marquez was superior and that was his fight is a shame that the fight was a stolen fight.In the second fight marquez wasnt in a good fighting stand marquez fell and thats y once again manny got lucky and the judges gave him the fight..but on 14 of nov the LUCK IS OVER
and which i hope the judges see a real fight
pacman, on nov. 14 that wud be ur 4th loss
i think at the first round of the fight cotto will dominate his power to pacman and doing a lot of aggression but in his way skills on the fight pacman can counter any moment when his of guard and even if not. round 2 and 3....4..5... pacman will throw punches like never seen before and cotto will find a way to block all those punches and when cotto keep figuring how to stop pacman at round 6 he will be surprise in his downfall.
PACMAN ON THE 6TH ROUND VIA TKO....MOST PROBABLY COTTO WILL SUFFER A MULTIPLE CUTS FROM MANNY'S PUNCHES.....MARK MY WORDS FELLAS...UGLY BOY MAYWEATHER JR.. START YOUR TRANING RIGHT NOW,...YOU'RE NEXT......
miguel cuts easily and has not been the same since Margarito's loaded gloves.
stopped on cuts, 5th round.
sorry meant to say 8th.
MAYWEATHER JR......HEY BLACK COCKROACH,.....STOP HIDING AND FIGHTING LIKE A COWARD ASSHOLE,....THE TIME HAS COME NO MORE HIDING,...THE ROAD IS LEADING TO THE PACMAN,...YOU'RE THE NEXT TO BE EATEN,....DON'T HIDE ANYMORE,....THIS IS NOT FOR MONEY,....PRACTICE KISSING THE CANVAS RIGHT NOW AND LEARN HOW TO SMILE AFTER A KNOCK OUT,.........WACTCH HOW THE PACMAN ,..CRUMBLES THE PUERTORICAN TONIGHT........
I think i will give this to manny pacquiao because i think he will probaly go to the 12th round and win by decision or he will give cotto a K.O in round 8 or 9 i have suportted pacquiao all the way and i will like to say RICKY I THOUGHT YOU WILL KNOCK PACQUIAO OUT WHAT HAPPENED ROUND 2 WHAT A PUNCH..pacqiao i will watch your fight live and comment back on this fight so all the best manny am with you pal.
all the boxing journalist above.... will have to get a new job in another sport after Cotto's victory tonight... please compare Pacquiao's fights against Cotto's fights...
cotto buckles when put under pressure like he did against margarito. mosley had him running in the last 3rnds of the fight clottey had cotto on the brink and even malignaggi caused him problems manny is to aggressive, fast and spiteful alot more sharpness in his punches than clottey.
iM Currently Watching The Fight And I Think Cotto Will Win Even if Im A Filipino :( So Sad To Say.
Pacquiao wins by 12th round TKO..That should shut you up pacquiao doubters and haters..Cotto defeated in his prime by the Great Boxing legend Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao.
cotto the chicken run! where are the pachaters?
i remember the dancestep called 'runningman' back then...
im a filipino and once again i am very proud of manny.... 'the greatest boxer of all time'
i thought cotto was wearing reddish boxing shorts too,until i realized it was filled with blood coming out of his face.it was a great fight but the latter rounds sucks big time, especially when cotto starts running away. cotto is a good man,sport and gave manny a little headache with that jab of his.he deserve to be respected.
where are the pac haters??.. lol pac wins by tko in 12 rd. It would end up early if cotto doesn't dance on the ring.. pac haters see you on the next fight...
All I can say... is you told me so! Great job by Manny.
Pacman will be the king of the ring now!He shake the world Upside Down
ahaha... pakerz!!!
Cotto was a mess!!! Hell how he was beaten by Pacman!!! GAYweather... ur next..!!
Barber is a moron bet u feel so stupid now that Manny dismantled cotto . but Kudos to cotto class 100% great champion
Silence of the Pac-critics.
The man with the big heart wins.
Thanks to his belief in God, true athleticism, and two x-factors- anting2 tsaka krista,hehe..
Rock on, Pacquiao!
Paging all pacman haters who promise to go back here to post a comments after the fight, to a certain BARBERS,I hope manny earned your respect,
ayaw nag pangitaa ui,naulaw nato bai..
