Pacquiao and Cotto Showdown Prediction

This is going to be an action pack fight and is not going to the distance. It's going to be slug fest. I believe that if Manny Pacquiao connects the punches [punches that he gave to Hatton], Cotto will be knocked out. Contrary, if Cotto lands his powerful hook to the body or head, Pacquiao will go down on a single shot.

Pacquiao is highly the favorite on this fight. I pick Pacquiao by seven round K.O and I think this is going to be a close fight.

Pacquiao said that he wants to make history on November 14, to become the first fighter with seven titles in seven divisions. To achieve this mission, Manny needs to stop Cotto's momentum or Cotto will stop him. Cotto is very dangerous for him.

Earlier, Roach said,“Of course Cotto’s power is a major concern for me but I really think that we will have no problems,” said Roach. “I’m training Manny not to get hit.”

Boxing Superstars' Predictions

"I pick Manny Pacquiao by knockout. I think he will knock him out in 7 or 8. Manny just has too much for Cotto." -- Mike Tyson

“I think there would have been a good opportunity for Pacquiao to win if he faced Cotto before he fought Clottey, but now Cotto is thinking defense. I think Cotto is going to pull out a decision, and now because of the terrible beating he took against Margarito, he knows he can’t get into a knockdown drag out brawl. He’s going to be smarter, and I think Cotto wins in a 12 round decision." -- George Foreman

“It’s going to be an interesting fight, and I think Pacquiao better take it very seriously! I think Cotto will win because he’s a little bit bigger and is a real welterweight. His power may be enough to overcome Pacquiao’s speed. I think Cotto wins in a decision.” -- Shane Mosley

“If Cotto stays busy, he’ll win a decision! I think that Cotto will win the fight, but I thinks it’s gonna be a good fight!” -- Winky Wright

"Manny is a big puncher and a good boxer, but he has never faced a natural welterweight like Miguel. Cotto is the most dangerous fight of Pacquiao’s career. On the night of the fight, Pacquiao will still not be a full welterweight. And Cotto is very strong. As the fight plays out, around rounds 7, 8, 9, that’s when Cotto starts taking over. I think Cotto will win be decision, but he might even get a knockout. With all of my heart I think Miguel Cotto will win." -- Tito Trinidad

At the press conference, both fighters said that they are ready to face each other in the ring on Saturday night.
