    Cotto landed a good shot, big ****ing deal, it didn't do ****, Pac paused for a second than continued to whoop Cotto's ass.

    It wasn't the only good shot Cotto landed either... In the first five rounds or so Cotto was totally in the fight, landing good, powerful, shots. That's what makes Pacquiao a great champion; he was able to take those shots, shake them off and keep coming.

    I don't get it. That's like looking at Floyd - Mosley rd2 and saying Mosley made Floyd look foolish there. Imagine if that was Pac.

    Cotto boxed beautifully the first 3-4 rds, totally outclassed Pac

    Then it all went pear shaped.

    :lol: @ that being as hard as the Mosley right.

    Difference being Cotto was basically throwing it off the back foot and circling = less power (for the boxing noobs)

    The first four rounds of that fight were great. Two elite fighters going at a high pace. Cotto gave a good account of himself. It would have been nice if he was able to defend his belt at the real limit.

    Agreed. That footage shows how much better boxing is from the audience.

    No it didn't. He got caught and he decided he should go into high guard as Cotto circled away on the defensive.

    :lol: Drama queens.

    Biggest myth is that Manny pacquaio dominated Cotto, Cotto was beating his ass from pillar to post before he got caught by a wild failing punch, and even in the latter rounds when Manny was opening up on him, he adjusted got on his feet, boxed and won a few rounds



    SN: This fight had one of the worst stoppages I ever seen, really:patsch
