Thoughts on last night's massacre

The worst post in ESB history, you should be banned for such bull****:fy

 

I thought the fight was very entertaining. Cotto got beat but he gave a good showing of himself. I don't believe he was weight drained, shot or anything like that. Pacquiao completely changed the fight with his angles, speed and crisp counters Cotto didn't see coming. Cotto is an elite fighter and I think that if he keeps fighting and always prepare like he did for this fight he could still become a world champ again. I actually think he could very well beat Mosley again or at least have another close fight with him.

 

A very good big man got beat by a great "little" man. End of. Paquiao is just better. Oddly, he somehow keeps getting better each fight.

Taking Cotto's punches was most impressive of anything, and staying composed and just sticking his gloves up while on the ropes and letting Cotto swing away. That was nuts! IMO, but that wasn't part of Freddie's gameplan.

It's a good thing no one takes posts like this seriously. Cotto was extremely game until the 4th round, when he was put on ***** street.

 

Cotto looked good on the first rounds even though he was losing. The 20% of punches connected is due to him running in the last six rounds after he was done. Pac taking Cotto's punches was very impressive, it doesn't say anything bad about Cotto it just lets us know how good Manny is and how he has adjusted to the higher weighclassess. I don't think he would get stopped against Mosley at all but I guess we just have different opinoins on that fight, hopefully the rematch comes through. The rest of the points are more agreeable.

 

Cotto's wins over Mosley and Clottey were very questionable. And last night proved he's way too slow to have ever beaten Floyd.

 

So, by your definition:

Hearns didn't fight well against Hagler because he only lasted 3 rounds.

Castillo gave a poor account of himself against Corrales because he was knocked out in the 10th.

Vasquez bitched out against Marquez in their first fight because he didn't last 12 rounds.

Your posts are so ****ing ridiculous. Look at you in here giving yourself a pat on the back because the fight went "Exactly the way you knew it would." OK Manny Steward, keyboard warrior to the stars, you play a mean clown, I'll give you that.

 

He lacks footwork and is way too slow to avoid getting hit cleanly by counter punches. Taking clean punches in return has always been a problem for Cotto. He's still accomplished a great deal, but his flaws are undeniable.

 

I can't see Cotto ever reinventing himself, no matter who trains him. The Cotto we've got is the Cotto we're going to have until he retires. That said, he looked great in the first few rounds before Pacquiao took control.

 

Pac proved why he is one of the finest boxers of all time...... To do that to Cotto was very impressive and showed his speed and power to the next level the question is how far can he go, how much more proof do people need that he is a legend. Cant wait to see Mayweather come unstuck...
