    Is that you?

    I don't think so but asking.

    He's selling Cotto short. Pac durability is too in question at this weight against a puncher like Cotto. However, I see some of his points.

    na... not me

    i like this dudes videos tho you can tell he knows the fighters well.
    only one of recent thats kind of wack is his video on aa & jt... he just talks about jt's stamina which is selling jt kind of short because he doesnt talk about the match up in skill

    but yeah his points are good but cotto does a pretty decent job of catching fighters on the way in...and based on what he is saying cotto will still land on him and it will be interesting to see if manny can deal with the strength... it will be 3 : 1 punching affair

    Agree with his overall sentiments i think Pacquiao stops Cotto, but he didn't appear to base it on really anything of substance. Cotto isn't really damaged goods, the boxing community was just guilty of overrating him slightly. There were plenty of signs of his flaws even before he stepped up in opposition, but that really put them out there for the world to see. His biggest problem is that he doesn't back himself in the middle of the ring when things gets tough, despite having the tools to do so. This isn't as a result of the Margarito loss, as he started doing it before getting into deep **** in that fight.

    I am not sure it will be "easy" though, even if it is dominant. Cotto has major defensive liabilities but he is still a badass when he lets his hands go. I don't have any doubt there will be a few moments where he hits Pacquiao and Pacquiao won't like it very much at all.

    They could be valid points, but it's nothing we haven't heard (read) here before.

    i really want cotto to win because im a sucker for the under dog...and i just hate the fact that so many people are on cotto's dick before and now its like he is against the world..

    but a lot of things are working in favor of pacman... cotto will really have to prove that he can catch pacman on the way in... and really establish his strength

    lmaooooo

    I bet you said the same thing about Marquez to. Everybody keeps saying that Cotto is damage goods but when you fight the level of competition that Cottos been fighting and dont look good doing it then your damage goods right? We will see come 14 Nov who is damage goods or who will become damage goods.
