I picked Cotto to beat Pacquiao, and I must say...

Pacman is a fweak. hehe And he also has a freakin concert with his band right after the fight. WTF. So meaning he is already confident that he will not be hurt that much. How can you sing when your all bruise up and can barely open your mouth. Insane!

 

Newb guide like me. Dont credit anything comming from Teddy Atlas mouth. You will just gain more enemies.

 

Teddy was spot on in his analysis of Cotto's boxing skills.

 

love the avatar, man.

on topic. Pac felt those punches, he was absolutely hurt, but he kept on comming. Now that is one ability that not many have an answer for.

 

Agreed, Pacquiao is somethin else. On another level. I'm glad Mosley signed with Berto, Pacquiao would whoop Mosley.

Question: If Pacquiao Mayweather happens where do you think it will be held? If in Vegas again, i'm there.

 

Cotto is warrior but he is not as much of a warrior as he once was and he never was nearly the warrior that both Marquez and Morales are. And in a cruel sport like boxing if you want to hang with a buzz saw like Manny thats the kinda bad ass you need to be. The world isn't black and white. You can be a warrior but nt be as big a bad ass as morales. But whn you in the ring with Manny its black and white.

 

Good post!

Cotto was a brave warrior! From day one I have high respects with Cotto and his FANS! The fact he did not quit gave me more respects for him!

Congrats pac!

p.s. Juanma,

I have a question, if pac vs pbf happens where do you think the typical PR fans will side. PAC or PBF. Just curious. cheers

 

I picked Cotto too, but I wasn't surprise Pac won though. I was surprised in the fashion he won though. I hope they make the fight between him and Mayweather. I still don't think Cotto is damage goods though. He just got beat by a better fighter. However, Cotto is not the same Cotto he was before fighting Margo.

 

This is exactly my thoughts also, I did not believe that Pacquaio could take the power of Cotto and that Cotto would be able to weather the storm against Pacquaio.

The fight, ironically enough, went as I thought it would - with Cotto finding his big punches early on Pacquaio and being able to hit with the right hand almost when he wanted for the first four rounds.

The problem was, none of those punches effected Pacquaio at all - those were the types of shots I was expecting to hurt and put Pacquaio off his game - to his eternal credit, he ate them up and then inflicted damage on Cotto.

If someone had watched that fight, they'd have thought Pacquaio was the natural WW.

 

i like your avy lol

 

wow manny ate ALOT of BIG shots from cotto and just brushed em off. freak

mad props for cotto. alot of fighters wouldve already quit from that barrage of punches

 

Haven't seen such an in-your-face type of conquest of late as much as this fight!!!

(MemoCan, just quoted you mate for that hilariously "in-your-face"--at least to the whack Haye-fans--avy. )
