    I would prefer Mosley to fught Manny than Cotto..seriously..Billing in names count and Cotto is less popoular than Mosley..Cotto has set weight requirements but with Mosley he will do whatsoever just to fight Manny.

    I like the Manny-Cotto match up, more exciting than with Mosley. Mosley killed the excitement by over drumming on his eagerness to fight Manny and it appears like he needs this fight, a big pay check fight to end his career.

  • dan 2 years ago

    most exciting fight is pacman-mosley. its slam bang action from start to finish. speed vs speed. height and reach are advantage for mosley. age and endurance will be for pacman. at catch weight of 143, it will be pacman in the 10th round by KO.

  • Cubano 2 years ago

    Roel, its Manny fighting, not you.

  • dan 2 years ago

    cotto is the best welterweight now. if pacman beats cotto, the legacy will be complete. the only man to win 7 division. pacman will go down in history as the boxer that fought 4 diff. weight class in less than 2 years and win all of them by a mile. pacman is beyond expectation and he change the rule of the game.

  • dan 2 years ago

    pacman on same level now as tiger, federer, bolt, phelps, button, messi and kobe. if pacman beats cotto in nov, he will win the laureus award and SI athlete of the year for 2009.

  • MANG RESTY 2 years ago

    Manny will easily beat Cotto judging by his performance against Clottey.

    what's wrong with you dan, some of the stars you're comparing Manny with are not even in the same level as Manny in terms of accomplishment. Button??? Sure he's dominating this year but Manny's dominating for years. Kobe??? 4 World championships, 3 of which Shaq was really responsible for. What the hell???

  • rey aude 2 years ago

    i like the match up between two young fighters with great skillls. Manny vs. Cotto the best to watch,it's all bang fight. manny will win via KO in early rounds.remember.

  • cuba 2 years ago

    It should cotto and pacman.....weight doesn't matter if they fight 145 thier even......try to consider thier wieghts, junior and welterwieght, all of you are stupid......they should meet on 145-143....end of the story stupidoss...!!!!!!

  • cuba 2 years ago

    stop that weight issues....let the fight beggin stupidos.....weight issue addicts, their are boxers they know what they are doing....

  • mike 2 years ago

    I thing cotto is a more exiting fighter than mosley, he had fought only the best, and even beat Nosley. I dont get how osley can said that he is better than cotto when cotto jus outboxhim, and yes he beat Margarito, but can you sereusly think Margarito didn't have his glove loaded?? you know he was chaeting. I dont know ho will win cotto or pacman but you can be sure its going to be a hell of a fight, hope cotto kO pacman it would make the sport more intresting

  • kulitogpakoy 2 years ago

    Kamong tanan pala utot. Mosley is the beast, kuto is the super beast, and pakyo is the extra super beast.

  • oca 2 years ago

    these people easily forget the past, they sing the same song before the fight, in ODLH versus Manny they said it will be a great fight, then what happened, Manny easily outboxed ODHL to win TKO on 8, then comes Hatton, again they said it is a great fight since Hatton is the bigger guy and it is in his weight class, but again manny KO him in the 2nd rd,now comes Cotto, hope these respondents saw the previous fights of these two protagonist and if you saw it dont be hypocrite, who has more speed and power between Manny and Cotto, you can easily predict who will prevail on Nov 14 or Oct 17.

  • markg 2 years ago

    oca. thank you!

  • markg 2 years ago

    Cottos no.1 Weapon is a powerfull hook to the body. while both knees are bent and head lunging forward moving side to side. Im no Fredy Roach, but with MP's well Balanced southpaw stan, blinding Speed, Unpredictable moves and equal in power to both hands im sorry to say LIGHTSOUT PAPA!!

  • jj 2 years ago

    who's left hand hits harder cotto's or pacman

  • Tony M 2 years ago

    The fight is more likely be on and that's Cotto against the Pacman. At 145 catch weight I don't think Pacman has the edge since he is the one going up. The best weight for Manny is at 140lbs.but the money fight is in welterweight that's why Cotto is on, of course he is a lot bigger than Pacquiao and that's the reason they have to fight at 145lbs. just to even up a little bet. One good thing about this is the fact that both guys wants to fight and this is boxing is all about. Cotto says he is not impressed with Mannys performance funny, I wonder if boxing fans is happy about Cottos performance against Clotty. For those who've seen the fight knows the answer. I just hope Cotto could get past the fifth round this time.

    Against the light handed clotty he only got a UD and yet Cotto was lucky to have the judges on his side. If not for the first round knock down Clotty could have won it easily. Against the heavy handed Pacman 8 rounds would be too long unless Pacquiao's strategy is to drag the fight to the later rounds depending on Roach instructions. Cotto is much easier to hit than pbf or mosely if Manny wants to finish it early I think he can.

  • jamessipalay 2 years ago

    pacman invisible power pounch will end cotto's boxing carrier same with his other boxing superstars opponents. and thats the fact!!!

  • joe 2 years ago

    I cant see how you can think, that Many will beat Cotto

  • boxing master 2 years ago

    guys let be honest we thinking pacman is all that because he won his last two fights. de la hoya was old weak and he lost 5 times already. ricky hatton, all his fights in the UK and everytime he comes to United states he loose. cotto is too big for him. lets think about this, marques a slow counter puncher dominate both fights with pacman. now imagine what cotto can do with a better boxing than marquez and with biger size. pacman has no chance 8 round KO

  • boxing master 2 years ago

    pacman may be fast but he dose not cover his face well and if clottey was unable to heart cotto pacman wont do it neither

  • Bakie 2 years ago

    Pacquiao's always an interesting & exciting fighter in the ring reason why regular boxing fans & celebrities like to see him. I myself don't care who he fight, just can't wait to see it.

  • vic dizon 2 years ago

    for cotto to win over pacman its one hell of job for himm. if you watch his fight against clottey, he lost that fight!judges failed to see the sweet science in clotteys, if clottey has the punch power of a pacman cotto would have been in cloud 9 on the 8 and 9th round.thats all he (cotto) got guys no more no less!this is not to belittle the ability of cotto however it is the truth and sometimes truth hurts.cotto ko on 5th or 6th.

  • Joe 2 years ago

    I cant understand how you think that Cotto is going to loose. He is one of the boxers that brought excitement to boxing again. And he is one of the top boxers out there. Yes he has struggled this last fight like many other good boxers have in the past.What makes him good is his heart and desire to win and not giving up.Cotto is a warrior and he fights the best not like some bulls*!# boxers that want to call themselves the best,always pick their fights.This is going to be a great fight with two great Boxers.
    P.s. Greatness is when you are down and weather the storm afterward......wait and see!

  • MANG RESTY 2 years ago

    It is inevitable that Cotto will lose to Pacquaio.

    i hope pacman can fight cotto, maywether, mosley and marquez in that order before retiring from boxing. then unretire and fight once a year up to age 35. it's hard to see the cotto fight as the last one for pacman. i like bob arums description - the fighting congressman from the philippines.

  • dan 2 years ago

    by fight night. pacman will be 3:1 favorite against cotto. the betting will be so lopsided in favor of pacman. the next betting will be what round cotto will go down from the mighty fist of pacman. overconfidence will be the only drawback of pacman in this fight.

    I called you boxing's biggest hacks? I don't remember saying that. LOL.
