Bill, I agree both have a legit chance of winning. If you are a pac believer you can make easy money my friend. I made a moderate amount of money coz of pac's win. It's that simple. If you are a pac dougther, meaning you have been betting on PAC's opponents since 10 FIGHTS ago you are probably a pauper by NOW! Oh! One more thing, even if you are a hater (figure of speed buddy) you can still make money if you bet on PAC. YOU don't need to like him to make money. cheers!
Im sorry bro, but I dont recall seeing that and I seen the fight twice, maybe a third time will show me where Cottos knees got a little shaky... Do you remember the round?
Your prediction holds no merrit with me. You clearly only started watching boxing because ur pinoy and you love manny. I have nothing against this. After all boxing is about national pride. I also admire the confidence you have for ur fighter. But if you follow this game longer than 2 years, you will learn that it is not good to get emotionally attached to a certain fighter. Sure I have a favourite fighter of the moment, but that will not cloud my judgement and make me believe that my man can not lose. I make alot of money from this sport and have been doing so for more than a decade. I will tell you once and once only, If the pac-cotto fight takes place, pac will be in for a much tougher night than he can imagine. When cotto is on his game, he takes his opponents into very deep waters. He will take pac to a place pac will not feel comfortable. I am also taking cotto by stoppage. Yes pac has the speed and maybe power advantage due to his speed, but don't forget that cotto is no slouch in the speed and power department either, and he is definately stronger than pac. Pac is gonna get bullied in this one. But hey thats my take on the situation. And thingsmay pan out different. But we will not know untill we see both fighters at the weigh in and on fight night.
Cottos a great fighter but he's getting smashed by Pacquiao, and I'm a fan of both fighters btw, styles makes fights and Pac is too fast for him. Freddys a master tactician and I doubt he wouldve taken the fight if he didnt think his man will win. Also another factor to consider is cottos trainer, if he remains with the current one- will he be good enough to find a gameplan to beat an unpredictable fighter like pac? And if he gets a new one, he needs more time to adjust, and fighting the p4p n1 is not the way to adjust. Only 1 winner here and its the fans thats fo sho!
We'll see. We'll see. This is a 50/50 chance for each fighter. Anyway, there is big chance that this fight will happen. Weight issue has been settled at l45 which won't dehydrate Cotto. I am not saying anything until the weigh in.
Shifty- just because you have a different opinon then you doesnt make you right or the other person...But this is not a hard fight to pick. who gets hit more?? whos slower?? whos known to lay on ropes?? who gets hit with 90% uppercuts?? ummmm...do you get it yet???
u talk about when cotto gets hit by pacquiao but yall dont talk about when cotto lands one on pacman,and he will land on pacman and believe he gonna feel it.
yeah pacquiao is gonna feel it but it will be 3-1 by landing. Cotto will land a big punch then get hit with 3, thats why speed kills. to me, Cotto only has a punchers chance, I feel bad for him but he does have heart.
Wow... this is like talking about how Hopkins lost his pro debut. That was way in the past.... YOU don't know **** about boxing.
only a punchers chance,wow,cotto is the stronger fighter and doesnt have to land as much as pacman.when he lands he will make it count.if marquez can stagger pacman imagine what cotto will do.cuz he will land.ooonnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I would not be surprised if I would see a bum or shot Cotto during the fight. That's how lucky Pac is, most of the good to elite fighters he defeated suddendly bacame unexplanably bum or shot during the fight!!!
1) Pac will get hit close to the ratio that cotto gets tagged. Cotto is a very accurate pincher. 2) I will say that pac is a little faster. Cotto is just not as fast as pac. Slow should not be used when talking about either of these two fighters. 3) I tend to think that Cotto fights very well of the ropes. Sure he could clinch a bit more when he is coming off second best but so what. That is what makes him exciting. And if pac decides to get lured in and trade with cotto when he is against the ropes, he will be making a mistake. 4) Where did you come up with 90% Uppercuts? I dont even know what this means? Does it mean that he gets hit with 90% of the uppercuts thrown at him? Does it mean that 90% of the punches that land on him are uppercuts? Does it mean that the uppercuts that land on him are 90% power? Speed? Either way, he may address his susceptbility to the uppercuts. No matter, if clottey couldn't hurt him too bad with his uppercuts, do u really think that pac will? Now I put to you. Who has the better whiskers? (Pac's sure as **** havent been tested above 130). Who is the stronger of the two? Who has the better jab? And don't talk down to me like I need to GET something. Iv been in this sport for long enough to form my own opinions and they are usually correct. So get urself some knowledge before u try to pass it out homegirl.
