that's the beauty of this fight man, nobody has the real advantage, it's speed versus power. In the hoya fight, almost everybody was saying hoya will kill pac and in the hatton fight, almost everyone is saying that pac hasn't faced afighter as strong as ricky. After the fact, almost everyone changed their tune. Hope it won't be the same in this case. Cotto is one of my favorite fighters, I rooted for him against margo and rooted for him in all his fights. I'm a pinoy and I'm on the pinoy side on this one but will continue supporting miguel angel in his future fights.
mayweather had size speed and power advatage over jmm. with this fight all cotto has is a size advantage as pac is faster and has more powerful punches. i think 6 round tko to pac.
I'm a Pac fan, I hope he wins. To be honest I'd be surpised if Pac ko's Cotto. Cotto is just huge and powerful. No need for him to resort to any of those tactics, Pac always fights clean. But deym! Cotto makes flipping Clottey over look like a breeze in that clip.
BELIEVE ME IF PAC BEATS COTTO EXPECT COMMENTS LIKE 1) COTTO IS WASHED UP 2) COTTO IS REALLY NOT GOOD 3) COTTO WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THE MARGARITO FIGHT 4) ....haters will NEVER RUN OUT OF EXCUSES! BELEIVE ME!!!!:thumbsup
i hate this fight, i really do. reasons: pac might get brutalized and cotto might get embarassed (i'm a big pac fan and a big cotto fan) dammit!!
pac never gives up. fouling pac will only fuel his fire. to be honest, i fear more the left hook to the body after pac lands his punch and cotto coming back as back tries to get away.
whats good with this bs that cotto has no chin....shane hit him with his best and cotto ate it....clottey hit him with his best and he ate it....judah wobbled him and cotto ate him to...marg beat him cheating and he took 11 rounds of plaster to the face...he was drugged early in his career as a result of him being weight drained at 140...and for those that say he as no right hand: This content is protected
145 is gonna hurt cotto...he never made excuses on his way up and earned everything fighting at the weights those fight were supposed to happen at...if im miguel i say **** freddie, manny, garkal. arum and top rank and come in at 147...the fight needs to be at 147......if manny and roach feel so confident at 147 because of what happened to oscar then 2 pounds shouldnt be a prob
Actually, ROACH is anticipating that MOVE, that's why he's preparing PAC for a FULL WELTERWEIGHT opponent. I myself am drooling to have COTTO come in at 147, to SHUT the ****ers up once and for all! :hat
no freddie said that miguel must come in at 145..read it on the scene....145= ko for pac by 8 and 147= one helluva fight...I WONT SAY THAT MIGUEL WOULD WIN BUT IT WOULD BE AWESOME
this is the pitiful, idiotic, rhetoric that kills me. Why speak of hitting low in the Zab fight and not mention Zabs deliberate punch to the nutz and all but obvious headbutt. Cotto merely shrugged his shoulders and moved on with the battle. Why mention Clotty being slammed and forget his known to utulize his larger than life head as an extra wepon. Cotto is a rare breed in that clinching is normally not an option. Let's put aside who you feel will win this bout and attempt to show some integrity and rational thinking. If your going to be petty get your facts straight, a lawyer you are not.
Ha ha, I felt like that in the DLH fight but since then I don't think Cotto will be embarrassed. DLH already broke the ice for that with the bigger in size fighters. Now Pac can make his way through them with the public knowing Pac's a beast and trouble for any man. But yeah, I feared for Pac getting hurt against Hoya and do too now against Cotto, mostly because of size of opponents but oh well, he's a damn good boxer and even if ko'd he'd be okay.
same here. either can't afford to have an L at this point of their careers. i would rather these 2 gang up on floyd and his loud mouthed dad :yep
Try this, 145, 1 pound lower than what he weighted in vs Clottey. If Cotto loses it's because Pac was the better fighter.
