First of all i think last night was a great fight full of action and a real close fight to score both men gave it there all. I feel the fight came down to the knockdown in the 1st round and that why cotto won, but dont get me wrong i ALWAYS fought that if it went to the score cards clottey is not winning no matter what due to bigger fights down the line for cotto etc. What i am convinced about tho is the heart cotto showed and im not a fan of his really but with cut which again doesnt help stamina issues and not seeing punches suming he took clotteys punches really well. He's now been in the ring with clottey and margorito (loaded gloves or not ) and showed to have a great chin, if he can take there punches and well all know they cum in closer to 160 then im sure pac will not ko him. People talk about him backing up at the end of his fight against shane margo and last night but they are bigger men he cant bully i believe against pac being the bigger man he will stalk him down. take shots to land and will get to his body and break him down for a late round stoppage i could see pac ud him but if cotto back pac against the ropes or on the back foot it could be really bad for pacman:good
Cotto would rip Pac's head off. Cotto is so far ahead of Hatton and would have knocked the DLH Manny fought into a coma within 2 minutes.
Actually, the last few rounds of this fight in my opinion is where he did best. If he did that throughout the whole fight, he would have won more convincingly, IMO. And I wouldn't have had a negative thing to say about it. What he did the last 3 rounds was pretty effective boxing.
I was convinced the other way. Pac defo would bring it the full 12rds. & I think his speed & power would defo be a prob for Cotto. Miguel looked really flat last night. And he don't react well to shots anymore. & let's face it, MC is easy to hit. Pac starches him.
i see it the same as always at 147, Cotto puts Pac to sleep but at a catchweight, you gotta favor Pac
Cotto vs. Pacquiao is a toss-up. Pacquiao hasn't done anything at WW to prove he can hang in there with them....His speed and warrior mentality should not be questioned though...Too hard to tell. Pacmans nuthuggers will claim he can KO Jesus :roll:
pacman doesnt starch **** ,,that cut effected how he was reacting in the ring he couldent see the right hand coming ..and he did look flat that cut was why he looked flat and he still took it 12 rounds and never ***** about his cut.
rip? lol. i hope you self ban urself from esb forum should the fight becomes close much more Pac wins against Cotto. i can see ur just hating or trolling or both.
He would have to worry about the left Vs. Manny. & regardless of Clottey's wrecking ball dome... MC has alot of scar tissue now always a bad thing for a young fighter.
Last not just affirmed my previous belief that Pacquiao has the best chance to beat Cotto out of the the top WW's. Cotto doesn't look like the same fighter he was before the Margo-Cheato fight. Yes, he still hits hard but I think Pacquiao's speed would win the fight and honestly might even score a stoppage against Cotto. Pac better never fight Cotto in New York because no one will ever get a decision there against Cotto.
I see Cotto having potential problems with cuts in any fight at this point. Pacquiao could possibly get a stoppage on cuts in my opinion.
