How Might Have Pacquiao/Cotto Turned Out Had Cotto...

My take on it basically is that if Cotto could have done that, he wouldn't be Cotto, he'd be someone else. Ultimately, the fight was over for all intents and purposes after about five or six rounds. Cotto tried to mix it up with Pacquiao and got sent to the canvas painfully. He then tried to backpeddle and it looked hopelessly like a lot of his other fights where he appears to be running out of energy late in the fight and just surviving. Cotto doesn't seem to have the stamina to box off the backfoot.

With regard to your question whether Pacquiao can take a full Welterweight's power... well, the fight was at 145lbs, so that hasn't been answered yet. Fact is, I only see there being two Welterweights who can hang with Pacquiao the way they need to and have a real shot at winning. Mayweather and Mosley are the guys with the stamina and skills to threaten Pacquiao. I would pick Mayweather to outbox Pacquiao and Mosley to stop Pacquiao. I could actually see Pacquiao knocking Paul Williams out, assuming he could even make Welterweight anymore, which I doubt.

 

That very well could have saved him from the beating Margarito put on him. Hell, that could have gotten him the win against Margarito too, but he just doesn't like clinching it seems.

 

+1.

For some reason i feel Clottey will as well. I know you usually dont see that but i have a feeling.

 

You talk a lot but lacking substance. As every stupid person in the world, you actually believe you have got more common sense than everyone else. Oh well. Can't help you fool.

 

Some people just have an instinct to throw back to defend themselves rather than to hold. He took some huge uppercuts that fight but he never went down..pretty durable to me!

As far as Pac v. Clottey, I think Pac wins 9 rounds in a wide UD.

 

Really? So why not answer the question? I mean I know you picked Hatton. So then you either picked PAC against DLH or Cotto? Which was it? State it and then we can search your posts for veracity. :yep

No, I'm not saying its a "concrete formula", I'm just saying its relevant. For example, when you picked Hatton to be "too strong" for Pacquiao you were basing this on the fact that DLH was weight drained and Pacquiao had not been tested at that weight class.

What does this have to do with Joshua Clottey? Well, look at it this way: If this were 14 months ago, everybody would laugh at the prospect that Pacquiao would even last 3 rounds against Clottey, or any real welterweight. Why do we think differently now? hmmm. Probably because of:

1) Pacquiao Vs DLH
2) Pacquiao Vs Hatton
3 ) Pacquiao Vs Cotto

Do you really wish to refute any of these simple points?

It's cool, questions are totally rhetorical.

 

He's just defensive cause I remember well when he was talking a lot about how Hatton was going to give Pacquio a lesson in "welcome to the the weight class". :yep

 

Er, I dont even know what the **** your talking about. Im aware that what I said was "common sense", I felt pretty stupid having to write it tbh, but seemed necessary given your bizarre comments about Cotto and Hatton not being relevent. And now you just change the subject and go onto some other random thing - 'anything can happen'? Yes, thanks for that. How enlightening.

Still dodging the question here, though. You are 0/3, arent you? :yep

 

Haha? Weaseling out of WHAT? What is your point? I dont even know what it is. If you can follow one logical, linear thought process perhaps we could get somewhere.

He is not my alt, fool. I dont have any alts.
