Hmm... I think it will be a tough fight. Pacquiao moves quicker than Cotto. But since Cotto is the champion on this weight division, this gives him an advantage.

If Cotto will throw in heavy punches right away, this could stop Pacquiao. But if he let Pacquiao beats him first or he lets his opponent move first, I think it will be difficult for Cotto to win. I wanted Pacquiao to win of course.

If he losses this time, it will be a big hit on his boxing career. Plus I'm dying to see a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight! LoL If he'll win against Cotto, there's a big chance that he'll be matched to Mayweather soon.

Pacquiao is pure power and Cotto is pure hunger - Cotto is hungry for title and attention and he got nothing to lose. Pacquiao on the other hand has the whole world to lose, figuratively of course. If pacquiao will lose, this won't be the end, and if Cotto will win, this will be a big START!

I myself can wait to watch pacquiao vs cotto. I have bookmarked all the sites that will provide live streaming or at least instructions on how to watch pacquiao vs cotto online. Here's a few of them: vsmannypacquiao.blogspot.com/ blogpipiatbingi.com/manny-pacquiao-vs-co... vsmannypacquiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/cotto-vs-pacquiao-video-cotto-v.html.

Pacquiao. First off he is a southpaw and is blazing fast and has been training hard for the fight. I know there has been problems with him training in the Philipines and there has been some trouble with his coaching staff, but he is pound for pound one of the greatest boxers ever.

I also believe that Cotto's loss to Antonio Margarito, even with rumors he was cheating has disrupted the powerful puerto rican's confidence.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
