Cotto seems a much nicer and grounded person and his camp seems way more professional than Pacquaio'a. Cotto all the way for me.

As terrible as it sounds that bag carrier in Pac's group as turned me off Pac to the point where I'd like to see Manny defeated just to see the look on that guy's face.
Too many hangers on, you reach that level and they want to take your bags with one hand and take your cash with the other. Shame, Manny had seemed such a good guy in the previous two 24/7's, now he is coming across as a bit of a tit. Roach looked destined for the sack the way things are sounding in Camp Manny.
x2 but I have wanted Cotto to win and I think he will.

What I wouldnt give to see Cottos right hand man bear hugging him if he beats Pacman. Hes a legend and agree with other posters, I was neutral to start off but am leaning more over towards Cotto now. Gona be a cracking fight either way.

Still think Manny holds the aces but I've been impressed by Cotto during this series. I hope he puts in a strong performance.
Tell you what: haven't seen episode three, but I assume that you're talking about the "advisor" who is a complete tit. I can't believe he punched the conditioning coach. The two most important people in the PAcquaio camp are Roach -- who isn't being listened to as much as he should be -- and that conditioning coach, who clearly gets Pacquiao in sensational condition for every match, despite having to manage him going up and down in weight more often than Oprah Winfrey.
What that arrogant advisor character does is beyond me, and what Pacquiao is thinking by not doing EVERYTHING Roach tells him is also a worry.
I don't know, but it's not a harmonious camp, and his sparring efforts against Castillo in the Philippines left a lot to be desired.
Cotto's camp, on the other hand, looks a picture of serenity and harmony. That said, his trainer is a greenhorn. Whether he can devise a plan, get Cotto to implement it and make mid-fight adjustments in the heat of a mega-event, is another matter.

Both Pacquiao & Cotto look to be in superb condition. However, & this is only as someone on the outside looking in, Cotto does seem to be the more focused. I;m not saying its good or a bad thing, but Pacquiao has had other things going on during camp i.e. appearing on Jimmy Kimmel show. I can't see Cotto doing that type of thing in the lead up to such an important encounter?
I admire both guys, but I have said if I had to choose a winner, it would be Cotto. Simply for the way he has been sold so very short in this fight. Shortly after the fight was annoucned, Cotto made a point of how people have Manny such a clear favourite becasue of the way he beat De La Hoya & Hatton. But Cotto then pointed out that he's vastly different & better than both those fighters!
Freddy Roach talks about habits, weaknesses, that Cotto has, which all fighters do have. However, he failed to mention that his man, Manny, has habits, weaknesses, etc.

Hatton has always struggled badly with Southpaws and is open to the left hook - and De La Hoya was a 145lb shell of himself.
Fair play to Manny though, he rolled the dice and came up trumps.
But Miguel Cotto is a different kettle of fish

Beat me to it. It's the heavenly house remix.
I like the Hector Lavoe track, Aquanile that Cotto trains in the gym to during episode 2.
