Cotto VS Pacquiao @ 143

[King Cotto]

Who takes it?

[hammerhiem]

Why all these cotto vs pac threads? pac has only fought 4 fighters who have more than 10 fights 125+

he would get destroyed by any legit 147's.

142.5 manny takes it, 143.5 cott wins. this is really hard.

At 143 I still think Cotto takes it anything lighter and Pac would benefit

[Chunk..]

Cotto would seriously struggle to make 143.

Manny can not fight welterweights. He beat an old man at welter, seriously people should realize that he is simply too small for welters. Cotto would absolutely kill Pacquiao. I can see broken ribs with Cotto shots to the body.

Manny would be unable to hurt him and speed is going to be his only weapon. The only fight at welter I can see possible for him is Mayweather and that will only be possible if he beats Hatton and Mayweather can be bribed out of retirement.

I doubt Cotto can make 143. I worry about him making 147 nowadays.

[MANGLER]

What is the fascination wit this fight? Cotto will kill him.

147 & Below Pac will KO Cotto. We already saw Cotto got in trouble with Torres, Mosley, Corley, Abdulaev, even maliinagi hurt Cotto at one time in the fight. If Pac can hurt Diaz & DLH I'm sure he can hurt Cotto too. Cotto is not really a fast guy. Even a slow Margarito can land at him at will. Pac only have problems with good counter punchers & long Jabbers. Unfortunately Niether of those Is Cotto's specialty.

I think he makes 147 fine. He took a lengthy layoff w/ out training so the preparation for the Jennings fight might've been looked at as a struggling process, but according to reports he came in a week before the fight at 150lbs and ended up weighing 146.
