I dont hink Cotto lost power after the KO. Everytime he connects a good punch 4 punches go right at him and Cotto knew that his power aint enough to back up Pacquiao.
You're comparing a bum to PBF saying because Pac did this to a bum he will do it to the best defensive fighter of this era. It's a flawed argument to start with.
So many idiots in this thread. Pretty nice analysis from the thread starter, free of trash-talking and all. I am really in doubt about this fight. I can see Mayweather outboxing Pacquiao and i can see Pacquiao dominating Mayweather. I really do not know.
He throws counters in bunches but he also leaves himself open to be hit. PBF will throw only one or two and then be out of the way that's what makes him so much more effective. He doesn't give you chances like JMM does to hit him back.:deal
Mayweather should outbox pac-man all night. Look at pac-man's latest dominant victories. They were against fighters with POOR defense. Pacman fights brawlers who get caught by his speed and power. Look at the cotto fight. Cotto owned pac-man in the 1st round and half of the 2nd round just by using the jab and BOXING pac-man. Then he got excited and tried to brawl and got knocked down. From there he just tried to brawl and didn't think manny could take his shots or knock him down. ALL mayweather does is outbox you and his defense is superior to cotto's, hatton's, marquez's and de la hoya's. Manny will apply pressure and Mayweather will counter and never abandon his gameplan like cotto. I will admit pac-man does have the speed and power needed to stay in this fight but I have Mayweather winning a decision
Get off Mays dick and read my post. I am not comparing them as fighters. I vision the KO the same way that is it.
LMFAO...R U SERIOUS?? NOW THE RING POST KNOCKED HATTON...WITHOUT THAT RING POST THAT LEFT HOOK WAS GARBAGE...YUP:thumbsup
Funny how everyone talks about the first round yet nobody talks about how Pac adjusted to neutralize the jab. If you ask me how he neutralized it? Well by punching Cotto 3 or more times everytime he jabs. Pac will smother him with offense.
