By Jim Dower: Manny Pacquiao will be looking for more than just a victory over World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto this Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Prediction: Pacquiao vs. Cotto
By Jamie Hooper: Having studied the form of both fighters and watched the build up carefully, I am now ready to stick my head on the line that my fight prediction. I think out of the two, Cotto has had the most focused camp and as such is probably as well prepared as he possibly can be. Manny’s had a more turbulent first half of his boxing training. His camp does annoying me. To many people in it with a high degree of self importance and ego. That said however Manny’s training does seam to have turned out okay. He looks fit and sharp as ever.

Many boxing fans are picking the slightly smaller Pacquiao to pull out the win, but a large segment of fans also think that Cotto will win the fight based on his size and experience against bigger welterweights. If this fight had taken place a little over a year ago, before Cotto was beaten badly by former IBF welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, perhaps most of the betting fans would be picking Cotto to win the fight.
