    Pac had a great and overwhelming win there is no doubt, but my point is how will he handle it when PBF and Mosley or Cotto start landing??

    Yeah. The only most recent time Pacquiao really got wobbled with a punch was during the 2nd Marquez fight. Pacquiao almost did a "tinikling" or Bamboo dance. LOL

    No but around 4-5 seconds after he gets caught by a stiff jab and gets shook up for a second.

    You try to watch again. Pac would be knocked out in the 3rd round.

    Let's put it the other way around and let's try to be honest to ourselves - What would happen when Pacquiao lands that big left hook coming from that low position-angle on Cotto?

    Or is that Cotto has a chin that reacts ultra-fast and his legs hold his body up in that fraction of a second?

    Yeah I watched it again and he does feel some of them for sure, he's never truly hurt though.

    Well, we can't really answer that since PBF won't fight Pacquiao because of money issues, Mosley is being considered a secondary if the Cotto fight doesn't go through. Maybe Cotto will answer that when he gets to fight Pacquiao if the negotiation goes through. Another question is how would Cotto react if Pacquiao lands a punch since Cotto has been down ( but not out) several times by lesser / slower fighters.

    Of course man! Something is wrong in Pacquiao's brain if he doesn't feel those punches! LOL!! He felt it yes but nothing to really hurt him.

    Why is it so important to insist one's favorite fighter never got hurt by his opponent?

    It's boxing not chess, the guy's trying to take the other guy's head off. Of course the punches hurt, these guys are at the top levels of the sport. Jeez, d'you think?
