    :good, I said the same thing before the fight. Cotto(e) isn't dangerous enough of a puncher to make Floyd shy away from opening up.

    exact way I see it too. I was saying how Pac comes in quick and off balance all the time open for counters. Depending on his aggression depends on how long he survives

    Floyd is going to sit back and let Pac waste all his energy and turn his own aggression against him. Ortiz comes in with a steady stance and good balance in a 164 pound body, but he was getting marked up

    Pac's not going to be able to hit Floyd with his wild ****. Floyd is going to counter his ass hard when he's coming in with his feet off the ground leaning forward :deal

    I like how Juan used the flicker jab to prevent emmanuel from properly gaining ground and also measure him for the counter hook.

    Similar to Juan Floyd is going to counter emmanuel's str8 left to the body with a hook, but pivoting hook variety. He'll turn emmanuel wif the check hook to line him up for a str8 right to the face.

    Our friend Shane tried the left to the body only to get countered:

    turned wif the check hook in both instances to maneuver him into position for a right upstairs

    floyd should fight him. pac is at his level now. floyd has avoided prime fighters most of his career for risk of losing his 0. this would be a perfect opportunity to fight pac now

    good stuff :good
    Floyd was using the check hook regularly vs Cotto and got Ortiz with it too.

    for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

    Only one way to find out. With that said, they have both ducked each other. I think they know it isnt an easy fight for either. Just ask health comes first Mayweather and afraid of needles pacquiao.

    there you have it. both those assholes made it virtually impossible for the fight to happen. they both know their loyal fans will pay to see whoever they fight anyway.

    Manny dont have anymore power. I thought he would run through Brad, like he used to run thru everyone else. Bradley took his shots like it was nothing. If u cant hurt Brad, then u wont even be able to phase Floyd with that flagging power, and Manny now fades, gets weaker, in the later rounds. When Floyd comes in at 150, he is very stocky, big, muscly, its NO WAY he can hurt that guy. Floyd almost looked bigger than Ortiz.

    Yeah, Cotto's left jab works better than Manny's straight (against Floyd), anyway. I like how Cotto finished a lot of his combinations with his jab, too. Manny doesn't have much else that would give Floyd trouble.

    Pac is an offensive fighter, which Mayweather loves to fight. U have to have some defense in order to stand a chance to win, and Pac has no D.

    Cotto was domanated by Mayweather. Don't let a few seconds of doing well and genorus to him score cards fool you.

    You mean like agreeing to everything Pacquiao demanaded?
    Ring Size
    Glove Size
    Weights
    Who walks out first.
    Heafty fine for him only for every Lb over the agreed weight.

    Diffrent drug testing was an perfectly reasonable counter demand.

    In terms of the split. Pacquiao's stock has dropped since than. With his near loss to Marquez and his loss to Bradley.
