Cotto will be pacquaio's biggest test as will defintely be hit be a 160 pounder

The question is whether or not pacquiao will respond the same way as he did in the past once he gets hit by a true 160 pounder.

 

exactly,all these people saying pac is gonna ko cotto this and that.wait till till cotto put them hands on pac.he gonna feel that power from cotto and he aint gonna like it at all.cotto ko 8 9:bbb

 

I mean sometimes the best offense is the best defense and that is what cotto is going to bring. Once I first heard about the matchup my first assumption was that pacquiao would probably knock him out early. But size will play a factor in this fight even though i must admit paquiao has been looking great but he hasn't fought any good opposition. A washed up de la hoya and overated rick hatton which is one of the reasons why i can't even match him up with mayweather yet. His speed has been overwhelming but I still doubt some of his skills as he usually gets off balanced when he throws shots, but his speed has kept him out of danger.

 

The same questions were asked before pac fight hoya and hatton. Pacfans hope to get the same answer white cotto fans want a different result this time.

 

Btw how many BIGGEST TEST Thread for Pacquiao has been already made?

 

I personally never thought a washed up de la hoya or overrated ricky hatton was a test.

pac was supposed to be beat up by both bigger men... same is happening now with cotto.


pac is an anomaly... you'll never know what you're gonna get.

 

Neo?

 

woa. The DLH fight yes i thought Pac would lose but the DLH i was thinking of didnt show up and yes Pac did his part and performed well.

The Hatton fight. Come on maybe bigger in weight but power and speed was all on PAcs side. I thought Pac would KO Hatton. Not as early as he did but i thought in the later rounds he would.

 

That's not entirely true, Enzo.

Granted, Oscar De La Hoya was supposed to run over Manny Pacquiao like he was nothing, but we all know what happened in the end. Whether or not you're someone who puts a lot of stock in the weight drained reports, or whether you just think Manny Pacquiao's speed was the key factor, Oscar got his ass handed to him. It was a shocking turn of events. Inspiring stuff.

Ricky Hatton, in contrast, wasn't actually the favorite going into his 140lbs showdown with the Filipino if I remember correctly. Perhaps the journalists felt that Hatton was a shopworn fighter, and that Manny was a bad match up for Ricky with his mobility and lightning quick hands. Of course, this isn't designed to discredit Manny, I picked Hatton to win by knockout, but Manny proved me wrong again. Brutal knockout, pained me to see it.

Miguel Cotto doesn't seem to be an overwhelming favorite either, and many people, respected Boxing personalities, are picking Manny. As Max Kellerman stated in that promotional video posted on the General Forum earlier this week, "Many people think Manny can blow you out in the early rounds". I believe Max had that on good authority, but I fully expect Cotto to come out with the victory based on size and his own skill set.

Can Manny prove me wrong again? Of course, but not many people are viewing this as a mismatch like they did "The dream match". Manny is the slight favorite here, just as he was going into the fight with Britain's own Ricky Hatton. It's serves as testament to the ability of one Manny Pacquiao.

 

barrera - old, shot
morales - shot
marquez - win against pac, etc
diaz - unknown
De la Hoya - washed up, shot
Hatton - overrated
Cotto - overrated, mentally weak...already defeated by margarito (Nov 14)
and the last one......

mayweather - pretty chicken ready to cook (march 15)

 

It does all seem quite coincidental, but without going great detail, I feel the only notable victories up there are; Barrera (1), Marquez, and Hatton. I felt Oscar was physically unable, Morales is only losing to fighters of Raheem's quality if he is past it, and Diaz is a B level fighter at best.

Still; Hatton, Marquez, and Barrera are pretty damn good wins. Barrera and Marquez being the best two Featherweights of the last 15 years, and Hatton being the best 140lbs since Tsyzu.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

heheh... excuses for haters.....

 

In some cases, absolutely, but we have to put some of the victories in perspective. Barrera was finished at elite level by his Pacquiao rematch, and it clearly showed in his inability or refusal to trade, and Morales went 1-3 in his last four bouts, and never fought again after losing the rubber match. Just a little bit of perspective, but other than that, Manny is a beast.
