Pacquaio/Cotto
0
On Nov. 14 Pacquaio and Cotto are gonna slug it out in possibly one of the most anticipated Boxing bouts of the year (Perhaps the winner Fights Mayweather). So who do you guys think's going to win and by how?
I'm guessing Pacquaio by either UD or late round stoppage but I personally hope Cotto wins. Mind you I'm Filipino. Why? To make Pacquaio focus more on his boxing and not on politics ( He wants to run as, of all positions, as a congressional representative, a legislative post) and definitely not on his singing.

It's Pacquiao, not Pacquaio. People mistake the spelling often so it's understandable. Unlike you, I am definitely routing for Pac. A Pac loss is a death sentence to the potential Pacquiao-Mayweather fight and I definitely want to see that fight. The key to this fight is whether Pac could withstand Cotto's power. Luckily for us, Cotto is much slower than Pac and doesn't throw as much. If Pac could take one or two clean shots from Cotto, he should have enough time to retreat and recuperate.
I don't think we need a Pacquiao loss to keep him away from politics. The people will never vote him into it as evidenced from the previous elections. People just don't want to see their champ climb into the dirty arena which is Philippine politics. Fight for 2-3 more years, retire, live the good life.

Let him run. Not because he's popular means he's guaranteed to win anyway. Personally, I've never been a fan (even long before the signing of another contract incident) and am I sure looking forward for him to lose, hard. I don't really care who does it, but since Cotto is who he's fighting next, then Cotto it is.

I can't believe I mistyped that one. But I disagree, he has to lose to bring back his focus. Too many shows in the Philippines and not to mention the shady politicians that surround him. On second thought that does kill the Mayweather fight, doesn't it? Hmm, maybe a very hard fought match would be enough to bring him back to his senses.

If Pac wins against Cotto, the Pac - Mayweather SHOULD happen and 50/50 should be a reasonable split between both parties. If Mayweather ducks this fight, he would prove right what his critics have been claiming all along, that Money is as defensive as he is in boxing as he is with choosing opponents. Money is no doubt a great fighter, but if he continues on this path, he will go down in boxing history as a skilled fighter who did not like to take risks.
Besides, if Mayweather is so concerned with money, he should know by now that a 50/50 split with Pac is still bigger than a 60/40 split against anyone else.

Hmm from what Ive heard Pacquiao is a bit of a gambling man. I wouldn't be surpirised if he proposes a 60-40 split in favor of the WINNER.

Mayweather just might agree to that since he is confident he could school Pac like he did Marquez. And it would sound great for promoting the fight: winner gets a 60-40 split and the title of number one pound for pound.
Not sure though if Pac could win let alone give Money a good fight. That clinic he put on against Marquez was just masterclass.

Anyway what are you gusy watching UFC 105 or Pacquaio/Cotto? I can watch both since I can watch the UFC first then Pacquaio/Cotto. It's going to be one good day for fights.

Manny won via TKO on the 12th round. The ref stopped the fight where in Cotto wasn't hitting back, but was just dodging his punch and running, the crowd booed when Cotto ran. When Cotto was caught by barrage the ref stops the fight.

IMO the worst thing that Cotto did was that he pressed the action too soon after he got hurt. He should have started to circle more and jab at Pacquiao, he might have won some rounds on points.
On the other hand that raises questions about a Mayweather bout? How would he respond to someone who basically moves and jabs his way to a win? And he was damn pissed at Cotto clinching with him. MOst importantly, the elections in our (mine and Pacquaio's country) is next year and he's running for congress, that's bound to play with his head.
