    He never calls anyone out he fights whoever they put in front of them ,if you're implying that Pac is scared you're out of your damn mind.

    I noticed that too that in all of his interviews he never calls out anyone and genueinly doesnt care who his opponent is. His managment tells him you are going to fight this guy next and he is like ok, lets prepare for him. All he cares about is winning.

    I am probably the only one who feels a bit off about Pac's power moving up in weight but personally I think he might be on the juice. It would certainly explain those calf muscles!

    Strange as it may sound I think Cotto actually showed how to beat Pac with his tactics in the 10th & 11th rounds. Cotto kept moving and walked Pac onto numerous jabs. I think that is exactly what PBF would do against Pac. Don't engage Pac cos that's his game and he's devestating at it. Instead, keep him moving, keep feinting, make him come in and walk him onto shots. Cotto got drawn into engaging with Pac and that was his downfall. PBF is more disciplined and would stick to the game-plan and pot-shot Pac all night. Mayweather UD.

    Exactly my thoughts. Cotto even dodged most of Pacs punches in theses rounds. Manny looked a bit like he didn't know what to do with a moving opponent and seeing as nearly everybody he ever fought came to him it isn't that surprinsing. A mayweather who fights like against Corrales, constantly moving, popping a jab and moving again, would seriously discourage a true fighter like Manny.

    On the other hand, Freddie Roach knows this and would try his best to prepare Manny for a match-up like this.

    Much respect to Manny. He did his thing.

    Now we know what Arum knew after the Margarito fight. Cotto is shot. Anyone saying he isn't is lying. They "gifted" Cotto Clottey's belt. Then they "gifted" Manny a TKO instead of a UD. It is cool, but recognize what happened in the chain of events.

    PBF doesn't get "sloppy" like Cotto CONTINUOUSLY did. He will stick to runnin' and gunnin'. Pressing in the later rounds. This will be a very interesting matchup!
