Hopkins Picks Pacquiao Over Cotto


Future boxing hall of famer Bernard Hopkins has become the latest in a line of people in the boxing world to pick Manny Pacquiao ahead of Miguel Cotto when the two face off on November 14th.
Hopkins believes that Cotto's face will not be able to stand up to the fast and powerful punches of Pacquiao.

"I don't believe that his face can take twelve rounds of this fight,"
Hopkins was quoted by Primera Hora.

Hopkins is not the only person to take this view as Floyd Mayweather Sr also expressed a similar concern.
In his June 13th victory over Joshua Clottey, a headbutt opened a gaping wound over Cotto's left eye and both Hopkins and Mayweather Sr believe that Pacquiao can and will reopen the cut.
