Thats weird, the only thing I got out of the video was that his translations to English are horrible and he hardly makes sense. Basically, all he said was hes a great boxer because he studies his opponents.
Says the guy who has Cotto's picture as an avatar...nah, he doesn't look worried to me at all. During the ring walk...that's when you'll be able to tell if he is worried or not.
Every fighter should study their opponent, what I mean is you can clearly see Mannys game face is on, and he does look a bit worried, I have been around him for about six years, the last time he looked this way was just before the 1st Marquez fight... Not saying he is scared, but obviously its clear he is focused on the fight and he knows its not an easy fight for him.
Exactly which is why I would rather see Cotto vs Floyd, cus if Pac wins and the fight with Floyd gets to the table Roach will demand Floyd come down in weight, honestly if Manny were to beat Floyd I would want him to do it the right way and not look for these tech advantages if you want to be a welter IMO then dont ask for catch weights... if you want that title risk what it takes to win it.:good
Maybe he should be worried, because he is facing a fighter who is unlike anyone he has ever faced, but that's not to say that he IS worried. Doesn't look like it to me looking at that video. If you think Pac looks worried in that video, you must have thought Hatton looked like he was ready to **** his pants during his ringwalk for the Pacquiao fight.
I dont recall Hattons ring walk I was faded kid:good Seriously I agree this is the biggest challenge of his career, he is worried but not in a scared kind of way.... why wouldnt he be worried, if he was over confident that would tip off the idea that he is over looking Cotto.... Which I think Roach has done already.... they are banking on the Margarito effect and that extra pound...:nono
pacquiao doesnt look worried about the fight. it looks like he's trying hard to think of what he's going to say, that's why he looks like he's constipated. i just wish he would talk in filipino and have someone translate.
I would be happy for Cotto to win. One because his only loss was to a cheater. Two, because I don't have to hear Roach say dumb things all the time, in a lead up to a Mayweather fight. Three, which is great, is Pacturds can then go back to Pacland. They'll cry Cotto was too big all along if he wins, when in reality, it will be because he's just a better boxer. If Pacquiao pulls it off, I give him massive credit though. I believe Cotto has been severely overlooked because of the Pacmania created from the euphoria of his last 2 wins. If Pacquiao can beat Cotto, then he is for real above 130. His opponents just have not had much recently.
If Cotto wins will be better for boxing cause Cotto won't bs with purse split and Cotto will be fighting 2 or 3 more years while Pacquiao will be retiring around 2010. And of course you got many ****** Pacquiao fans saying Pacquiao is the greatest of all times in which is freaking annoying.
Well.....I think that both men are deserving of such a win of this magnitude given the history of both men....Cotto with the whole Marg and his hand wraps, facing all comers and fighting through adverity time and time again. PAC coming from poverty, being homeless, finding boxing and becoming not only a star in his own country but world wide. He's a true "rags to riches" Story. Although I don't blame anyone for beliveing Marg cheated with Miguel, there is no proof. And Cotto is also such a gentleman he doesn't make excuses for the loss b/c it's only speculation that Mrg had plaster. For me......I want PAC to win only b/c of the fact that he'll make history....but I wouldn't mind if Cotto won either. Both are great ambassadors of the sport and desver all they get from their fight this Saturday.
I am kind of a little torn, Pacquiao is reaching for greatness, so its hard to want to deny him that right. But Cotto is so likable, and has done everything right in his career, so although i won't mind either way i will be rooting for Miguel. Plus even i am starting to get sick of the Pacquiao huggers around here. Sure i like Manny but i'd like to execute most of his fans.
There is a difference with a guy like Hatton vs guys like Miguel and PAC. Hatton is a brawler with an aggressive style. PAC and miguel have a method to their maddness. They are aggressive but they apply INTELLIGENT aggression. The problem with Cotto's style is that he doesn't match up as well as PAC woudl against Floyd b/c Miguel is more predicable....more orthodox, plus he doesn' thave the natrual gifts, talents and ablity that Both PAC and Floyd enjoy. Which is why PAC presents more difficulty for Floyd than Cotto would.
Oh yeah!!!! Mayweather has annihilated sooooooooooo many opponentsatsch Cotto aint no little dude like Marquez. He is a bigger, better, strongers, faster version of Castillo. Floyd has not tested himself ever since his rematch with Castillo. I wonder why? Could it be that he is so concerned about his 0 that he doesnt want to be in the ring with someone who will be all over him the way Castillo was. Cotto though, would be far more effective. I'm not saying Cotto would win, but Floyd definitely won't be doing any "annihilating" as you say.
