I watched pacquiao's last 3 fights again, I've looked at who he was against and what he was able to do. I watched 5 of Cotto's fights including against south paws. Pacquiao is going to take some rib crushing punches with how available he will be to get counter punched. I don't think this will bode well for Pacquiao. I am a huge pacquiao fan too, I love the guy, but his legs gave out on a Marquez left hook. Now imagine a 155lb Cotto landing even one punch like that on Manny's chin. If Cotto doesn't stop Manny it might be a decision for Pacquaio, but I doubt that is happening.
Not cocky just real as ****!!!! Cintron bad mouthed him vs the margo fight so cotto replied, but really who is cintron? Roach is nobody but his opponents trainer not the guy thats gonna fight him on fight night.Cotto does not come out of no where and talks about others unless he has a reason! Or can you give me a situation where you can prove me wrong?
Every boxer on the planet is cocky. All of them think they have trained their hardest, are in the best shape of their life and are headed into the biggest fight of their life. If they didn't have that mentality, why the hell would they be walking into the ring to get punched at for 36 minutes. They have to have the ultimate confidence, that's where heart comes from.
Do I really have to go through the list of all the experts picking Pac? Because I'll try and find that thread and shut your Winky **** down real quick:deal
I'll give you a great situation. ZAB JUDAH. Zab was talking some crazy **** and Cotto was quiet and just waited for fight night. Now I may have my view of that situation as to how that fight went down(low blows) but Cotto was quiet like an assassin waiting to strike and when he got to the ring, Cotto did his thing. That was the old Cotto way of taking care of business. Their's a possibility those new tattoos put that boy's head up his ass. As far as these reasons you're talking about that Cotto had, he still did it. Being cocky is in him. IT'S NOT A HUGE PART OF HIS CHARACTER(like for example Floyd Mayweather) but it's there. It doesn't matter what reason he had, he still did it. He belittled other people. Roach & Cintron may have said they're thing, but they didn't belittle him.
I dont get it. All the Cotto fans are saying Pac shouldnt have any excuses if he looses, ie he's too small. However, what is the one thing they are all banking and hoping to happen? That Cotto's size will prevail, his power and strength be too much. You guys contradict yourselves. You all thing Cotto wins because he's too big and Pac has never faced a TRUE WW, yet if Pac looses you dont wanna hear he lost because he was too small? What you wanna hear, he lost because Cotto is too big?
Looks like fighting words now.....in todays El Nuevo Dia they said the diplomacy between the two is over ... they have pacquiao quoting that he doesn't care what Cotto says. That Hatton and DLH were stronger too and he handled them.....he said he doesn't prepare differently for Cotto that he is a regular opponent. According to them Manny says with a snicker, " Freddy does have some tricks up his sleeve " Looks like they are both chomping at the bit to get at eachother !!!!
