    This is message for everyone critiquing Miguels performance

    **** ALL OF YOU


    Pacquaio is an ATG fighter, let that be firmly established by now.

    Cotto had fought the best at 147, had been competitive in every fight he was ever in, and lost ONCE to Margarito, who was wearing loaded gloves

    Everyone calling him a quitter, a coward, a bum, **** OFF

    He went 12 rounds with one of the greatest fighters to ever live, took punishment that would have dropped lesser men, and refused to quit even when it was obvious to everyone he was losing.

    He took punch after punch, and was determined to make to the end of the fight, to finish the fight

    A lesser fight would have quit, he didnt. He kept going even in the face of brutal punishment. Out of PRIDE he did this

    Anyone calling him a coward has no concept of what a FIGHTER is, of what it means to possess Will or courage or honor.

    He finished the fight, to the end, on his feet, STANDING. He finished this beaten as a fighte but not as a man. He got knocked down, he got back up, he was hurt, he fought. He faced failure, he kept going, simply for the sake of FINISHING.

    And in the end of the fight, when he could have bolted, left the ring, said nothing, he didnt. HE GOT UP, and he thanked Pac, and Roach, and admitted his loss, LIKE A MAN, LIKE A GENTLEMAN, and was gracious and honest and honorable. In losing he showed what he was truly made of as a man, and he is an Admirable one.


    If you cannot respect that, you are hopeless, and have NO RIGHT to call yourself a sportsman, let alone a man.

    I was impressed with how good he looked.

    He looked faster than he did against Clottey, he looked focused and he looked to have regained his confidence.

    Cotto was the Cotto that beat Mosley and he got smoked by Pac.

    Pac is incredible and Cotto is a top 3 WW in the world.

    thats what I think of Cotto.

    I would agree by that wasn't the cotto that beat sugar shane my friend. Much has happened since then unfortunatley.

    The cotto who fought mosely would have possibly melts his rhythm and possibly got through it better maybe win maybe not, not sure

    Hatton is not in Cotto's league. Cotto vs. Margarito rematch! 95% of purse goes to Cotto and 5% to that cheating SOB!

    Pac and Cotto are incredible ambassadors for the sport in their own little way.

    Cotto is far from done and he has unfinished business with Margarito that he will take care of next June !! I say this time Cotto will TKO Margarito in the late rounds also !!

    Being a pacquiao fan and listening to what the GOD had to say that he saw weakness in Cotto.I finally understood.He ( cotto) is not as hard puncher as people think.I sorta suspect that was the case.Manny let Cotto hit him on the mid-section and nada. HAtton punches harder than Cotto.

    it would be a perfect fight for Cotto. He would get a nice payday and get a tune up and build some confidence.
