rewatch the fight dude, it was a helluva fight with Cotto as the victor. Torres is a lil monster. Cotto gave Margarito a beating b4 he lost. Thus, softening AM up for his next match.
and Pacquiao IS'NT a little monster? Honestly, Torres vs Pac would be a much more exciting fight. Cotto was whooping his ass. I agree. He quit though. Nuff said. Cotto is well managed just like Pac. He ran into his wall like Pac will eventually. I like the guy. Didn't like the fact that he didn't get back up on his knee and he has more of a penchant for hitting guys below the belt. Cotto WILL be weight drained trying to make a catch weight.
I can't see why Cotto-queens seem to want to ignore this about the "decent, humble, hard-working, God-like" guy they worship. And they like to call Margo a cheater!?!?!?
Pac Man Legend will be Ruined. I think they trynna shut floyd out. Thing is Floyd still got mosley and cotto he can fight. He dont need manny. But I would wait till shanes destruction o fthe pac 1st
I'd be interested to see Mosley do what Hatton couldn't do and thats work Pac's body with his body attack. Also, people are right in saying that Mosely has one of toughest chins in boxing today, and although Pac can bang with hard single shots, it's the sheer amount of shot that he can land from all angles that Mosley has to worry about. Its the accumiliation of shots like we saw against De La Hoya, and not the hard single shot's a that we saw against Hatton that makes this fight interesting when it comes to Shane takeing Pacquiao's power. There is also the question mark of which SHane shows up and when will he finally become old overnight like De La Hoya? We've seen Shane eat loads of tremendous pucnhes time and time again but one day hes just not going to be able ot take it anymore. That day could come against Pac. You really cannot got against Pac anymore imo. Also, Shane proved against Margarito that he still has some of that sweet sugar in the blood running through his veins. All i knwo is that boxing is looking awesome right now and this woudl be just another great fight that i can't predict. :good
I think theres a growing sense amongst esb posters that the hatton victory for pacquiao is overrated. If anything it is underrated. In my view mayweather fought the same ricky hatton pacquiao fought. Mayweather breaks him down and then scores a ko. Pacquiao destroys him and makes his look like a novice, despite hatton being a lineal champ at 140 for several years.
My fellow *******... thats where I draw the line. Hatton had lackluster wins against Luzcano(who had him hurt a few times) and Paulie.. Sure Hatton mauled Paulie but Paulie was fighting with one hand and he is overrated any ****ing way. Hatton looked like skeletor at the weigh in and he looked way better in the lead up to the Floyd fight in every aspect of everything. ****ing pac clowns.
Watch the fight again. Start of round Pac's lateral movements are amazing, hitting Ricky, slipping and going side to side and turning Ricky. Ricky first gets to him at 2.42 of the round, by grabbing Pac. Ref breaks them up and Pac proceeds to circle Ricky, jabbing and catching him with right hooks. 2.32 Hatton gets near Pac again, this after Pac catches him with a right hook and they tangle with each other, ref breaks them up. At 2.17 Hatton lands some punches, whilst grabbing Pac, Pac breaks away and proceeds to outbox Hatton silly. 1.46 they tangle and Hatton grabs him. 1.32 Hatton corners Pac and grabs him. 1.26 Pac stuns Hatton, and Hatton grabs him. 1.18 Pac misses witha hook and Hatton grabs him. Hatton is outboxed enroute to a KD. As you can see, Pac always controlled the range from the outside, outboxed Ricky every step and the only time Ricky got close is when they tangled (ie Pac missed with a punch and falls towards Hatton, they grab each other) or Ricky just outright grabs him. Cotto doesnt clinch or wrestle as far as I'm aware.
Pacquiao has a better shot at beating Mayweather than Mosley because of Mayweather's style and lack of having big power like Shane. Shane has the speed, timing, and power to beat Pacquiao and even stop him, I look forward to a Mosley-Pac fight if it happens later this year.
:nono Now people are getting carried the **** away with this Pac stuff. Let's keep things in perspective. Mosley's knock out of Margarito is a better win than Pac's knock out over Hatton. Hatton! Not all of us thought the fight would be competitive. I saw Hatton getting knocked the **** out clear as day. The man's ko by Mayweather was to distructive for me to consider that would not happen again. Mosley destroyed the man with the "iron chin", the great terror Margarito that everyone was frightened of. The whole thing as to the wraps I will reserve judgement on, either way, his chin was the same as all other fights. :deal
