Pacquiao vs Cotto will be FOTY IMO

Underground

 Manny's great aggresive striking vs Cotto's excellent counter striking makes it an awesome matchup and a cant miss fight this year. In my opinion its going to be the fight of the year.

Ending with a Cotto left hook finishing Manny at 2.23 of Round 6.

Can I have a bet as I'm not blue? If I can, I'll take it on.

I'm very confident in Cotto taking this. A bigger, stronger iron chinned,hard counter puncher with a good body attack is Manny's kryptonite.

Jase,

Whats your take?

I can agree on bigger and stronger, but in what universe is Cotto "iron chinned"? He has been rocked badly in several fights.

8

By hard punching welters. How many times has he been stopped??? (I'm discounting the Margarito fight as its probable his hands were loaded).

If he had a poor chin, he'd have more losses. His recovery power is fantastic.

Corely and Torres hurt him at 140 as well. Cotto is a great fighter but an "iron chin" is not one of his strengths.

10

He won't recover against a Pacman flurry.

11

OK. I forgot the non punching Corley. Iron was maybe over playing it. I'm not going any lower than SOLID though.

Fighters with bad chins don't tend to have the success Cotto has.

Everyone thinks Wlad Klitchko is china-chinned and he's the #1 HW in the world.

Good one! Keeping me thinking here! lol

Its an easy cliche, but put that down to the current lack of talent in the division. Would Wlad be champ in any other era?

14

 It will certainly be better than any fight PBF has ever had.

15

if it's a war that takes it toll on the fighters, look for PBF to challenge the loser at the end...
