2001 trinidad/hopkins = 2009 cotto/pacquiao

If Circle says it, I'm a believer! :box2:

Trinidad came in to the ring that night with a huge beer belly, quite ridiculous to compare him to Pacquiao.

yet he likes basketball? so? what does him playing basketball have anything to do with race?

I totally agree Puerto Rican fighter will lose. I really like the comparison! :haha: :haha: :haha:.

what? cotto is gonna poison pac's water like how hopkins poisoned tito's water? a healthy , unpoisoned tito beats hopkins. r u crazy?

Lets put this out there right now. Cotto is no plodder, he is a pure boxer with legit Welter Power. Manny's only shot is a lucky punch and running...pernell whitaker, Hector Camacho, or Malignaggi style. Even then he screwed if he tries to spin Cotto left or right like he did DLH. he has to RUN. Why do you think Cotto's record is what it is? His best 3 punches nullify speed. Right Jab, right overhand, and left body hook. Add to that his power...this cat is the real deal. The only other option for Manny is going straight back and its most definitely a short night if he does that. That darting in and out sh!t Roach said he is going to emploee? I wish he does do that. randall bailey tried that and that was Cotto's single best performance as a pro. The blue print to giving Cotto trouble is walking right into his chest all night. Manny wont be able to do that effectively. Cotto in a cake walk. I would think you guys would learn after watching PBF-JMM. pacman is an ATG, but people, he is tailor made for Cotto. Cotto is all wrong for him just like Hopkins was all wrong for DLH, and Hatton was all wrong for Pacman

Cotto should not be compared to Hopkins. That is like comparing David Tua to Lennon Lewis.

yet he likes basketball? :nonono: .

the year 2001.... The fighter...felix trinidad he was the more popular, betting favorite.... He was knocking out everyone from 147- 160 power in both hands then he met an old veteran champion (b hop) who wasn't the flashiest fighter, he had a good style, only lost once by a decision to the legendary roy jones jr (debut loss forgettable) but far from the excitement his opponent had previously presented when in the ring with others..... Mark my words.... Cotto/pacquiao will = trinidad/hopkins you heard it hear first cotto by tko 8th (corner retirement) I compared with Roy vs Ruiz

thats right!

I doubt Cotto wins pretty much every round en route to a knockout. This will be far from a boxing lesson especially if Cotto wins.

lol. i made the comparison like two years ago. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2792711&highlight=tito+pacquaio#post2792711 hopkins could do what oscar did TO AN EXTENT,though all the movement oscar gave tito and the combos he through made him gas, near the end, (which deterred him from winning)hopkins perfected the blueprint by pacing himself, and being a bigger "oscar". cotto can do some of What marquez has done to an extent (what prevented jmm from winning where the knockdowns IN COMPARISON TO OSCAR'S GASSING). SO IN SHORT the archetypes :D cotto-hopkins pac-tito jmm-oscar

sup circles!! :boxing: hope u r right!!! FREDDIE WILL THROW IN THE TOWEL.. same way he did for gerry penalosa! :rolleyes:

Ehh. You never know. Upsets happen. pac's the favorite to win.

what? cotto is gonna poison pac's water like how hopkins poisoned tito's water? a healthy , unpoisoned tito beats hopkins.

Ehh. You never know. Upsets happen.

pacquiao isnt black yet he likes basketball?

I totally agree Puerto Rican fighter will lose. I really like the comparison! pacquiao isnt black

Except Pacquiao wins I bet.
