    I think Manny will win this fight by TKO in 9th round...Cotto cannot handle those lightning fast combination and power left. I can see Cotto backtracking all through out the fight he is overwhelmed by the speed and excellent footwork of Manny..

  • Internet & Technology Examniner X5426 2 years ago

    Calling all the PAQUIAO FANS PLEASE HELP US FORM THE GROUP TO CONVINCE TEAM PAQUIAO TO TEACH MAYWEATHER SR. A LESSON WILL ASK THEM TO SUE HIM IN THE COURT AND ALL LEGAL ACTIONS. my plan is to create a website to call the attention of team paquiao and let them hear our voice we do not tolerate those libeous attacks. thank you emeil me jstibo@gmail.com

  • hbo 2 years ago

    cotto in early round can handle pacquiao's power but the blinding handspeed of pacquiao will slowly crush cotto in the leter round,, pacquiao by knock out in round number 10...

  • johntor 2 years ago

    It's going to be a war of this two Great Boxer, May the best man wins and fan's surely love this fight. unlike MJM vs PBF i'm tired of being sleepy...

  • KOyote 2 years ago

    Manny by KO @ round 10, just like what he did to hatton. Cotto will also kiss the canvas three times before he sleep.

  • Judge 2 years ago

    We are at the footsteps of boxing history. It does not matter who wins or who loses, there is no disgrace in defeat and more honor to the victor. I am a Filipino and I truly pray Manny wins it but if ever he loses to Cotto, he loses to a deserving champion. Both of them are legends.

  • Billy 2 years ago

    I'm cheering for Manny but the fight in all honesty is a toss up. 50/50. The Odd Makers are wrong. It's almost worth betting on cotto even if he loses.

  • Billy 2 years ago

    @dumb Paclanders

    STFU!!!!! Sue Mayweather are these kids serious.

    Go Manny!!

  • Kepasa 2 years ago

    November 14 Pacquiao will be doomed!!!

  • mike lira 2 years ago

    pacman will win at the 4th round by stoppage, a right hook will start the onslaught. believe me

  • sonmal_lipa 2 years ago

    My prediction is for Manny depending on how cotto could handle pacman's thunder punches.It would be a knockout before 8 rounds if cotto could'nt and an unanimous decision if he could. On the other hand cotto's left hook is really devastating without question ,but for him to be able to execute it the target must be close and standing in front him which I think would give him big problem in fighting a caliber like pacman.

  • chuy 2 years ago

    for those ppl who want to manny to sue may weather he cant because sr said i think, if u ask me so he didnt say he was using he just stated his opinion so he cant b sued for it

  • Gratis 2 years ago

    My opinion is that Pacquiao uses steroids to gain advantage on other fighters.

  • 7th title 2 years ago

    Pacquiao pick the wrong guy for 7th title, my advice to Pacquiao to get the 7th title he should fight the straw weight champion!!!

  • dodong09 2 years ago

    Ill go for manny pacquiao will knocked him down in 7 rounds

  • pactto 2 years ago

    The commentators will sleep cold...

  • pactto 2 years ago

    pacquiao and cotto will stand toe to toe and slug it out come fight night because both of them using steroid supplied by mayweather sr.

  • knack 808 2 years ago

    cotto is to slow for manny 3round by knockout.manny will be the firstman will get the 7 world tittle devision.mabuhay si manny

  • zhunde 2 years ago

    It's Pacquiao will reign supreme this coming November 14th. Cotto is too slow for the Pacman. Pacman has all the will to win.
    1. He wants to make all pinoy happy from being sad after the devastating typhoon that hit the country. 2. His father will watch the fight for the first-time at ring side. 3. He is longing and determined to win for the 7th title first time in boxing history. 4. His mother will also watch the fight at ring-side with his father and Pacman will bring him both back together. 5. Boxing skills of the Pacman is extra-ordinary. 6. Speed and Power. 7. Footwork. 8. Deadly left and right hook. 9. 10. He wants to AGAIN prove to the people that he is the real p4p best fighter in the world and not Mayweather and that is this is for the match that people wanted to see - Mayweather vs. Pacman by next year.

  • Fuck the steroid thing 2 years ago

    all you guys accusing manny using steroids are ass suckers... if he uses, why is his body small.. if he is using steroids, his body must bulk like John Cena

    The face of cotto will be busted at the end of round4,at 6 round cotto's right eye will be closed and at round7, history is written .

  • cockfighter 2 years ago

    Pacman all the way!!!

  • GRINGO 2 years ago

    Because of the volume of power punches absorb by cotto he can't take it anymore.Manny wins by surrender or submission in the 6th or 7th rounds.Braavo!viva manny amigos!

  • alan fernandez 2 years ago

  • aling dionisia! 2 years ago

    manny at the 4th round by blow job,hehehhee

  • ramiru 2 years ago

    This is too close to call. If Miguel is still on his feet and able to withstand the Pacman's sledgehammer and blind shots in the early rounds, he will assert himself after six and overpower Pacquiao. Cotto in 10, fight may be stopped on cuts.

  • HLW 2 years ago

    Pac Man is a terrific fighter, but base upon his current body of work, hughly overrated. Let's keep it real; the first Marquez fight could have easily gone to Marquez. The second Marquez fight should have gone to Marquez. Oscar was washed up (see the Stevie Forbes fight) and drained from making 147, and Hatton easy to hit and never more than an average fighter. To Manny's credit he did what he should have done to two B level fighters. However, when faced with real opposition in Marquez and Morales 1, he lost or barely escaped defeat. Pac-Man has been elevated to super hero status primarily based upon two victories of high profile boxers that crossed over in their fan appeal. By contrast, Cotto beat a Hall of Famer in Mosely, and destroyed the likes of Juddah and others. I should also add he fought a heck of fight against a fighter who essentially had bricks in his gloves. If Cotto has anything left he will knock Pac-Man straight the you know what out. Cotto by KO.

  • vince cotto 2 years ago

    i would bet my money on pacman! Puerto ricans were losers.

  • Edgar Bola 2 years ago

    Nobody believes the power of PACMAN?? Puerto Ricans will surely taste the power of the filipino demigods..Viva Filipinas!!

  • Glen Gutierrez-ANHOLT 2 years ago

    TO all Puerto Ricans and Cotto fans:

    Pacman will soft boiled Cotto's balls and he'l be drained instantly. Cotto has no balls to fight PAcman,he's a loser,an idiot and a moron..Better for a Baricuan fighter is to beg Pacman to spare his balls today. What a shame for Puerto Ricans..
