    :lol: Is the Cotto bout the first time he has seen Mayweather fight?

    Almost as bad as the commentators in the Chisora-Vitali bout, "Vitali is starting to tire, he is dropping his hands"..."Vitali is now fighting with his mouth open, Chisora is getting to him" :-(

    'Tendency to slide side-to-side, shooting on the backfoot. Pacquiao must anticipate where Mayweather will sway and cut the ring off to force an engagement. Mayweather’s a slick boxer and Pacquiao should be ready to move in with counters even as “Money” is on the retreat.'

    There are literally floors in every 'tendency' but I'll pick out my favourites.

    "Tendency to lay on the ropes. Mayweather did to Cotto what Pacquiao masterfully executed in his own fight against the Puerto Rican. To take away Cotto’s power left jab and invite him to engage, Pacquiao did his version of a rope-a-dope. Mayweather mimicked Pacquiao and did the same. Cotto took the bait and entered the counterpuncher’s lair recklessly. Pacquiao won’t be caught in Mayweather’s trap. He’s too smart for that."

    :rofl has this dude ever seen floyd before the Cotto fight?? and suggesting PAC is to smart for that? Where were these ring smarts when he fought JMM?

    "Tendency to throw combinations that impress but don’t sting. Mayweather looked sharp in unleashing flurries but the punches lacked impact. He fired four or five-punch combinations, mixing jabs, uppercuts and straights. Cotto shrugged them off. Against Pacquiao who isn’t a standing a target like Cotto, Mayweather won’t be able to dish out as impressively. Pacquiao will walk through the combinations or slip away to make Mayweather miss. Mayweather’s lack of a killer blow will be a big disadvantage"

    I think it's quite clear that mayweathers combos 'sting' after seeing him rock Cotto in the 12th. Pacquiao may not be a standing target but let's be honest, Cotto probably has better head movement than him. The suggestion that PAC would be able to slip floyds punches as well?? :patsch

    This dude needs to stop rimming pacs ass and actually watch boxing. Sure PAC has a chance and you could probably consider it a good chance, but anyone that has him favourite clearly has an agenda based opinion.
