Cotto-Pacquiao: How does the Brit Forum think this will go?

Cotto far 2 big and strong,body shots will dismantle pac

 

Freddie is saying he "wont allow" Cotto to come in above 145. Would they really pull Pac out at the last minute with so much at stake? The rules of this fight are BS to me. Unlike the Floyd fight, Cotto is having to cut weight and put his title up. Does anyone know if (in some ****ed up logic) Cotto might lose his strap on the scales if he comes in over 145?

Is it right to believe that the WBO are following their daddy WBC inaugural Diamond Belt in stripping Cotto if he's >145 on the scales. But in a high profile fight Cotto may get a chance to run it off say within a 2 hr window. Should be a moot point cause Cotto will make 45, just don't want him to kangaroo atkins diet and overshoot to a drained 43. Diamond belt will be something to behold bro: 800 real diamonds with 150 rubies n sapphires with 18kt gold center plate. Probably a $100k+ handcrafted piece!!

 

I just got a feeling this is a step too far for Pac.......we still dont that Pac can handle Cotto type power, and IMO....he wont be able too...

Hatton didnt even give himself a chance to hit Pac...and he could have hurt him if he landed.

Pac will cause Cotto problems early on...but once Cotto stands landing it will start to tell. By round 8 or 9 Pac will be out of there.

Basically the exact same prediction I made for Pac-Hatton :deal I gotta get it right this time :yep

 

Pacquiao has improved so much since the early days, don't you all remember how he could never box on the backfoot? how he had such a predictable punching pattern? how he used to lunch much more into punches, his lateral movement used to be largly ineffective, how he look like a one legged man in a ass kicking contest lol that right hand was basically useless before now Roach's got him doubling hooks, controllin distance and settin up with it. He's almost unrecognizable from the raw material of the early days plus he carries the weight well.

Cotto's jab is pretty good but I can only recall one fight (Marquez did it more with straight rights and is one of the best counter punchers in the game) where Manny was given fits with it against morales but it was a purer boxer with more skillset which made it effective. Cotto is more methodical and basic then that plus Manny has immense speed and a good slip game with his head movement & as i said he's improved immeasurably since Morales 1 can't see how he nullifys the speed watch how Cotto gets beaten to the punch and pedestrian he looks & news for yall manny ain't as small as you think.

 

I think Cotto is ripe for the picking, trust me they saw something thats why they made this fight, Those 11 rounds of plaster have left him with scar tissue, he was there for the taking against Clottey, but Josh is too damn inactive with that ear muff shell and is current disposition is one of a cautious, timid and somewhat lazy boxer. He's not someone rises up, engages and start's mixing it up for 3 mins of every round even when he badly needs to.

It's simply his disposition with the way he fights. It is so frustrating as fight fans to watch a guy like this that has all the physical tools and great Philly Shell defense to wipe just about everyone out at 147 or hell 154. But the same things that have made him great from an appearance standpoint are the same things holding him back from putting work in for 3 mins of every round and taking a fighter's green belt. His brain & boxing IQ don't transcend.

 

its official like a referee with a whistle Mayweather did a Million buys in a mismatch/recession/darkside competing.

Hmmm I wonder how this effects future Pacquiao negotiations. i'd imagine this gives him a big leverage

 

Everything is dictated by what happens on Nov 14th. And those three Shane dates are thanks to the HBO being in bed with GBP. There's a lot of scenarios. Pacquiao losses he fights JMM again. He wins he fights Floyd. Cotto losses he fights Shane and the winner gets the winner of Floyd vs Pacquiao. Oh brace yourself: Margarito comes back and fights Clottey again because at that point they'll both be desperate.

 

Scenario no.2: Shane fights Berto: the winner gets the winner of Floyd vs Cotto (becasue he beat Pacquiao) Manny then faces Amir Khan because JMM is fighting Hatton in the Spring lol! Jones vs Hopkins and the marquee reads "60/40"

 

Is this fight at another ****ing catch weight..?

 

^ yep

I just can't stop picking against Pacman (altho I knew in my heart he would KO Hatton).

Just realised its at a catchweight though. Not happy with that. If he wants to fight welters, fight welters. Seems he's not content with fighting old men, he now wants to beat weight drained guys as well.

 

how come so many didn't know this was a catchweight fight?
