Not seen a thread about this, and to be honest I can't see Pacquiao struggling at all in this one - but it's boxing and strange things happen. Even if it goes as expected, it's always good to watch Pacquiao at work.
It's on Sky Sports 1 on Sunday @ 2am, so we get to see the best boxer in the world fight without having to pay extra.
Roach seems to fancy Pacquiao's chances of winning early - saying that a first-round knockout might be on.

Could be great, but I am expecting a methodical beating delivered by Pacman. Bring on mayweather.
Pacman would probably beat valuev

didn't manny himself say that PBF was a bit too much to take on given the weight difference? All well and good taking on inferior fighters with the weight disadvantage but fighting a true great who is still in his prime under those conditions seems a bit crazy.

Cotto is no mug and is again naturally heavier than Hatton for example. I expect pacman to win but if he gets tagged it really could be gg very quickly.

Pacman is the real deal i couldt believe his price against Hatton ship ship.
Coto is tough but sometimes his head is't in the game he's changed trainer and was't impressive in his last fight.
I serioursly lumped on Pacman at 1/2 a while ago best price now is 2/5.

Looking forward to this one. Should be a good fight to clear that circus bout from last week out of the system. I'm going against the grain. Cotto for me. Don't think Cotto is being given enough respect here. Apart from anything else the weight difference is huge. Manny has stated in the past he would never fight Cotto at Welterweight as he'd be too strong for him. His preparations have not been perfect either. Some sort of tax issue meant he's had to train in the Philipines instead of the US. The only loss on Cotto's card was to Antoino Margarito who may possibly have had a horse shoe in his glove and has subsequently been suspended for weighting his gloves after the Mosley fight. Think it'll be a lot closer than the odds suggest anyhoo. Certainly not a 21/10 shot. Cotto is more than just a brawler. Punt on Cotto KO in the later rounds - 9, 10, 11 and 12.

My only worry is Freddie Roach saying it could be a round 1 or round 2 knockout. He doesn't usually make predictions lightly. |
