Pacquaio was probably at this best against Cotto. Cotto-Pacquaio was fairly even in the 1st 3 rounds, and it wasn't until round 4 Pacquaio started taking over. Do you see JMM doing better?
cotto was drained and i cant help but see Arums dark hand with that fight most people forget cotto was on his way to retirement back then i think Arum said lets get one last pay day and raise pac to elite status, only time will tell... i honestly dont think pacmans last fights have been 100% honest, i dont mean to take ANY achievements from PAC but if you think about it... Marg fight= sketch since marg had no license and obody wanted to give him a chance for he was a cheater but regardless of that Arum knew if pac beat him it would still raise Pac to a bigger $$$$$$ cow. Cotto = like i said above he was going to be retiring soon and i think arum said lets really rank pacman out, while giving you a good pay day Shane= didnt even try lol, after an amazing night agaisnt marg and new fresh air he didnt even ****ing try to do **** agaisnt pac .... sketch Clottey = sketch as hell he didnt try to do anything either and ****ing left without interviews then after that had that interview in his homeland where he said he KNEW he had to lose that night... people seem to forget boxing promoters dont care about the sport and just care about making $ through the sport, pac has been the biggest PPV seller Arum has had in a long time and he will continue to try and manipulate the system as much as he can... would you lose a fight for 12 mill? i would..... it didnt even hurt cotto's career that bad and he thought he had a foot out the door...
Cotto's performance seemed the same as before, I didn't see him as being particularly affected at 145.
I see it being similar in competition but the rounds Marquez wins wont be at the beginning of the fight
He likely won't last/survive as long as Cotto in total rounds but will probably fair better in the amount of competitive/semi competitive rounds logged.
cotto's boxing is so underrated he is not a brawler and marquez woudnt have **** to counter... cotto is a master of placing shots where they go, arguably one of the best and highest connect percentages overall. styles make fights and cotto doesnt perform great when hes pressured but you have to have the balls to REALLY pressure and take some ****ing sledges to the chin and face ie margarito and pac, he likes to fight at his own pace but beware of his amazing counters... if floyd tried doing that attacker role hes been doing lately he would get owned by cotto BUT if cotto was the attacker mayweather would have a field day... styles make fights
Marquez has a better chin, Stamina, Way More heart, A Much Greater counterpuncher, Geater combinations, Tougher, Places he's punches much better, And the best thing is he's not a quitter/knee taker. Now again, how the uck is Cotto better then Marquez???
lol never said he was just that cotto would TKO him if you put them in a ring. cotto's pace is not good for marquez, he would get prowled and slowly broken down with cotto's bodywork. it doesnt mean cotto is better.... people need to understand you cant determine that a boxer is better than another by who wins a fight if tht was the case the two bums that KO'd pac are the ****
Cottoe has the wrong style to fight emmanuel Cottoe has no right hand and is flat footed His countering isn't too great either
Miguel was heavily affected by the catchweight. Ya'll are blind if ya cant tell how weak his legs/chin were. It was reminiscent of his days at 140. He's been tagged by heavier punchers at ww. There is a reason he hasnt fought at ww since. While Marquez moving up is not to his advantage its not going to take a toll on his body the way fighting under his weight would. JMM also has the advantage of having fought Pac twice already at his ideal weight and that gives him a tactical advantage.
Just because Pacquioa has a closer win over Marquez adn you are matching him up agaisnt Cotto? Be real man! Cotto will surely make Marquez retire..
