    There was barely any damage to that eye, and it was all from Cotto's left jab. Come talk to me when Pacquiao starts throwing a left jab.

    Pacquiao fears Cotto at his natural weight. It's 147 or no fight. Floyd fought Miguel Cotto at his natural weight and took his title from him the proper and the traditional way. Unlike Pacquiao who took it from him at a catchweight and has defended it at a catchweight. He's a paper champion. 8 Titles in 8 weigh classes where to of those were won at catchweights. If you don't defeat a champion that weighs 147lbs, you're not a 147lbs champion. Manny is light Middle Welterweight. Floyd will fight Manny off of the ropes just like he did to Miguel Cotto. The difference between Cotto and Pacquiao is Cotto has more of a solid background in boxing. Pacquiao's a fluke fighter who makes tons of mistakes and against the ropes with an offensive mindset only, Manny will be vulnerable to some of the cleanest shots he can ever possibly take. By the way...Manny and Marquez are going to fight again for the 4th time. I'm sure Pac would try his hand at that conventional counterpuncher who will be 39 or 40 when they face off again. Floyd is still too much for Manny and after his last performance (without the PEDs) there's no way anyone can think that Manny will do anything besides get the beating of his life. :deal

    cotto vs pac was weightdrained and damaged
    cotto vs floyd was at his comfortable weight and rejuvenated and focused

    hatton vs pac was damaged goods, been ko'd before and was struggling to make weight
    hatton vs floyd was undefeated

    shane vs pac was shot
    shane vs floyd was coming off a big win and looked really good and powerful

    oscar vs pac was a weighdrained zombie
    oscar vs floyd came off a big ko win and was at his comfortable weight

    Cotto said he was comfortable at that weight and he don't want to discredit Pac's win over him.. It's just they don't know that Pac would be that fast.. That's the reason he lost.. :deal Did Cotto just made 146 lbs before he fought Pac @145? Against Pac, Cotto was brutally beaten, knocked down twice, and ran for his life.. I wonder how much damage mentally would that make.. :think

    Based on your post, you should give Pacquioa more credits after he KO Bradley.. :hey

    They fought the same SSM.. The only difference is, how they took SSM's courage out of him.. Mosley tried to KO Floyd.. He took the chance and he almost got it.. The moment Floyd knew something hard hit him, he immediately held SSM's right arm.. :deal And Mosley was trying the same agaisnt Pac.. Pac took away Mosley's courage with just one punch.. Everyone knows that.. :smoke

    Oscar said, what was he doing @160, @154 where he was comfortable @147.. Prime Oscar would have suffered the same beating against Pac during that time.. :smoke

    Cotto is much better on the inside than Manny. Everything Cotto did to frustrate Floyd was due to his inside fight game, his weight, and his strength. Manny has no inside fight game, he will not be heavier than Cotto, and he is not as strong.

    Floyd would be able to keep the fight on the inside if he chose, push Manny around, and would outweigh Manny by 3-5 pouns. Though the weight difference wouldn't be significant, Floyd's bigger shoulders, and Floyds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>greater inside fight game would teach Manny lessons for at least 5-6 rounds.
