That's the best fight in mma right now.

I think Pacquiao takes it. Cotto does not look the same since the Margarito fight. I've noticed that Cotto does not appear to have the same amount of explosive "snap" at the end of his punches. He still throws hard but lands with more of a "thud", that doesn't do the same amount of damage he once had. He looks too "tense" in the ring and throws every punch at full power. This is what causes him to always gas out at the end of fights. Cotto looked particulary tentitive in the middle of the Clottey fight (and it was due to more than the cut). I think that at some point in the early rounds, Cotto will "feel" Pacquiaos power and aggression and will mentally revert back to the Margarito fight.

Right on. He dosen't believe in himself like he did before. He knows he's human and can be hurt. His confidence and pride took a fall with his record. He's almost scared of being hit now that he dosen't fight with the same animal instict of the past.

Also, if cotto get's ko'd he's done being on top. Pac just dosen't ko you, he puts you out. Such a outcome would ruin him to point he'd drop down to the 10 spot of the WW class and may never make it back to the top.

They are both part of the same camp. They wont fight unless there is a split. Part of the reason both of those guys are so accurate and so elusive is that they have each other to spar against.

It would be the most skilled stand up battle the UFC ever had. I hope it happens. They need to change camps and break the friendship to prove who's the best. They can be friends later, this is in demand now.
Anderson wont fight his friends. He passed on fighting Paulo Filho for the same reason. I think Anderson should avenge his "loss" to Yushin Okami. I'm waiting for that match.
