Ring Magazine's Expert Panel Take Their Pick

As per usual in the run up to a mega fight, The Ring Magazine has compiled a team of boxing insiders, experts and actual boxers to have their say in who will win in the monumental clash between WBO welter weight titlist, Miguel Cotto and Pound for Pound King, Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao picks

1. Nick Charles (Showtime) - Pac decision
2. Bernard Fernadez (Philly Daily News) - Pac decision
3. Andre Berto - Pac stoppage
4. Timothy Bradley - Pac decision
5. Brian Kenny (ESPN) - Pac decision
6. Joe Tessitore (ESPN) - Pac decision
7. Darius Ortiz (ESPN boxing editor) - Pacquiao stoppage
8. David Diaz - Pac decision
9. Dave Wilcox (DailySports.com) - Pac stoppage
10. Ronnie Nathanielz (Manila Standard/Boxingscene) - Pac wins
11. Naazim Richardson - Pac decision
12. Bill Calogero (Talkin' Boxing with Billy C) - Pac decision
13. Steve Farhood (Showtime) - Pac stoppage
14. Scott Mallone (Ring Magazine Thailand) - Pac stoppage

Cotto picks

1. Michael Falgoust (USA Today) - Cotto stoppage
2. Carloz Gonzalez (Primera Hora) - Cotto decision
3. Jorge Perez (Lel Nuevo Dia) - Cotto stoppage
4. Paulie Malignaggie - Cotto decision
5. Hiram Torroca (El Nueva Ovia) - Cotto stoppage
6. Kendall Holt - Cotto stoppage

No surprise seeing David Diaz pick Pacquiao after the thrashing he was handed by Pacman to lose his WBC light weight title in June 2008 or to see Malignaggi pick Cotto after the Puerto Rican fractured his orbital socket in their junior welter weight clash in 2006.
I for one can not see why so many people are choosing either fighter by decision, this fight will clearly end in stoppage with both Cotto and Pacquiao having numbing power.
