i gotta see this spar!
while reading various posts, it sounds like PAC had more challenge than the hatton fight...
and I dont get it why they are not showing cotto spar? for this 24/7 that's one of the highlights i want to see ...
cause pac is a featherweight?
Maybe because Cotto's camp can't find someone that is as fast as Pac at welterweight size so they improvise and spar with lighter weight fighters with comparable speed to Pac.
He was just trying to go through the drill if he can tolerate a middleweight punch in the body.
No big deal, Pacquiao always do the same thing when he's preparing for a fight.
I guess people can say anything they want without validation.
Thats what everyone was saying till a million links were posted. If your too lazy its up to you. I don't care if you believe it or not.
Please show me where Pac KO'd Porter twice? I have never heard this?
There were links everywhere on here before. Im not going to dig it up. Just google it.
Pac kd porter 2x also so it shows at least his power has come up to the weight. Porter hasn't kd pac yet so pac seems to be able to handle the power. The sparring was after he was said to kd porter 2x but was during a time where Pac wasn't focused. I don't think they'd be showing that if they thought it was a big deal. Maybe they wanted to show that so that miguel underestimates Manny.

Your basing Pac on a about 10 seconds of sparring that was shown by HBO. How many rounds did they spar, how many of those that Porter dominated. Remember, we even read in the internet that Pac was doing good in sparring in Manila.
And why did Cotto show only snapshots of their sparring. You can say they don't want to show their strategy. Nothing against Cotto and i am a fan of him but he will fight the same thing as he usually does. And like the HBO and other boxing critics, Cotto's trainer is young and he is not much known. Maybe the PR fans here know more about him but he seems(compare to Roach), inexperience.

I'm glad they're roughing him up. Brings him back to earth, and reminds him not to **** around. Plus he'll get used to harder punches. It's gonna be good, only 2 weeks left.
One would expect a Middleweight to overwhelm a boxer who was fighting at Super Featherweight only last year. That's a 24 pounds difference! It's more shocking to see the reverse happening. The fact that Porter continues to be the main sparring partner of Pacquiao only shows that Pac can handle him... and he better get a feel of the power of a true welter/middle weight so he won't get surprised on fight night. Sparring with Porter gets Pacquiao well adjusted to the higher weight class.
If you wanted to take the sparring footage seriously, Porter lands a pull back counter jab when Pac missed with a weak jab. Cotto can land that same punch, and it's going to make an impact if he does.
Honestly... That's not even fair Porter walks around Middle Weight to Light Middle Weight 160-170+ lbs that fawker is huge
what do you think cotto weighs? pac is screwed. he should've went to canada.
