Boxing: Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto by TKO in 12. Mayweather next?

A super fight this saturday. Who is winning? And will Floyd step up and face the winner of this fight?

manny and no floyd won't fight him cause he will want the majority of the purse and won't get it. Mayweather is money first, fighter second.

I think Manny will KO Cotto in 6 or 8 rounds setting up a fight with Floyd on May 2010.

Pacquiao overlooking Cotto ain't good. Cotto ain't garbage, is the underdog with nothing to loose so he will fight like that. Pacman is faster but Cotto happens to be a good body puncher which slows anybody. The only blipping thing that Im concern with is Cotto's corner. Freddie Roach ain't no joke and in Cotto/Clottey fight Cotto was nearly defeated because a stupid cut that the cutman couldn't close. If it comes down to in fight adjustment then Cotto might be in trouble. Anyways I say Cotto by TKO in the 8 round. Either way I be watching and hope that if Pacman wins, then a dream fight with Mayweather should be in order.

people are really underrating cotto.spliffstar12

I'm actually undecided on who I think will win. I'm predicting a competitive fight, and if anyone gets stopped, I think it'll be Pacquiao.

i got cotto in this fight...but pacquiao is to fast

This will definitely be Pacquiao hardest fight. Remember, the only time Cotto has ever lost is because of the Margarito and everyone assumes that Margarito cheated during fight with plastics under his gloves. Cotto is very tough. He beat Shane Mosely and he was the much faster fighter.

A thing people are underestimating about Pac-man is that he's got strength too. He is going to be the heaviest he has ever been and I don't that will have any effect on his strength. This will also be Cotto's lightest fight in three years and that could have effect on his body and punches. If Pacquiao has precision, his token quickness, and punches that will make Cotto hurt, he's got the fight. If Cotto will cut off the ring, stay firm, and punish the body, he's got the fight. I'm Filipino so you can already guess who I'm rooting for.

Pacquiao simply dominated Cotto. Piece of crap of trainer that let this fight go that far and let Cotto take more punishment than needed.

The real question is: How can Mayweather wake up at night and somehow not take the Pacquiao fight? HOW? Isn't that the essence of sports? The best against the best.

People are acting like Pacman will just walk in and dominate :lol:X360PS3AMD05

Master_Live, ever since I've been coming to this forum, has always picked against Pacquiao. DJ_Magneto

Well, I don't know about that, unless you have been tracking all my boxing post since I don't know when.

I doubt that Floyd will face Pacquiao since he knows that he would lose. GridironKing

Wait MasterLive is from PR? That video everyone has in their sigs is great but the song is awful lol.X360PS3AMD05

I'd love to see Pacquiao fight Floyd! I think Pacman would win by KO.

It was a great fight the first 3 rounds was a war... but Manny showed he is p4p the best. Cotto was a class act and I hope he rebounds his next fight. I definitely want to see him match up with Floyd now and I don't have any doubts Manny can take it. It's not gonna be easy and I know Mayweather might be the better boxer, but Manny is the better fighter and he will be the aggressor that night. The last southpaw I saw Mayweather go up against was Judah and he gave Floyd trouble. Manny Pacquiao might be the best southpaw ever and he has power in his right he showed it against Cotto when he knocked him down with the right in the 4th after Santiago told him to just worry about Manny's left. Mayweather also cant use his shoulder rolls as effectively with Southpaws. Freddie Roach the master of gameplanning swears he has one for Mayweather and I believe it. Roach had the same plan laid out for de la hoya, but he just couldn't execute and diverged from it in the later rounds. Mayweather just needs to get over his idea that the split should be 65-35.
