    If this is true, then I am seriously bothered.

    I expect Pac to be treat sparring as real fight and getting KOd is not a good sign at all.

    Thats not true Farmy, if Pac had been laid out uncouncious in sparring, chances are no one in his camp would report it as such, and thus no suspension.






    Did'nt JL Castillo just arrive to spar Pac???

    Could it have been Castillo who laid out Pacquiao?:D



    Unless Pacquiao was laid out unconsious, *******s have nothing to worry about.....a knockdown is nothing to get alarmed about.

    I wonder how Cotto is going to approach this fight. For sure he is the stronger man but if he decides to go to war like he says he might get caught with a straight left hand. I think he will try to box with Pac similar way he boxed with Mosley and we might not get FOTY.

    Getting dropped in sparring is very normal, same for being hurt. Getting knocked OUT is what people should be worried about.

    If he got knocked down then that's good news, he tried a specific move and now knows that if he tries that he might get caught with a punch he doesn't expect. That's what sparring is all about, you make mistakes on purpose to see what you can do to counter them. Ali was laying on the ropes the entire time against Holmes who was punching the living HELL out of him, no one understood why and reports said that Holmes was beating the living hell out of Ali in sparring as he prepared for Foreman. In the end, it was a tactic he used and had to get used to in sparring to apply in the ring.

    Sparring is NOT a challenge or a world title fight, these guys are NOT club fighters and this isn't the junkyard tournament hosted by Bazooka and Zakman. These are world class fighters who fight professionally for millions in the ring for world titles recognized by the entire planet. These aren't future-less junkyard boxers who work part-time at Arby's.

    Cotto is going to go in there and exchange, watch that from the first round. He will go there and try to put on a show. Outboxing a man way faster than him is not going to work, he succeeded with Mosley because as the fight went his speed remained while Mosley was inactive and slower.

    i think too many people are making too much of this alleged knockdown! pacquiao has proven time and time again that he does have a very solid chin so i think this minute episode can be dismissed.

    For journeymen maybe.

    But not for a top P4P guy at his prime.

    Nothing wrong with it: he may get dropped against Cotto, he needs to keep calm and come back.
