"I tried to pretend that it's not going to hurt. But it really hurts." -Pacquiao

That right ear of Pac's looked like it hurt, but other than that he looked pretty mark-free. For sure. Cotto gave Pac some cauliflower ear.

FUKK ALL YOU COTTO STANS!!!!! BWHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!! BOW TO THE GREATNESS OF MANNY PACQUIAO!!!! I would let you live it down, but because you bitches talked so much bullshit and cried so much you must feel my wrath!!! BWAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAH!!!! :lol1::lol1::lol1:

I love this quote right here '"I tried to pretend that it's not going to hurt. But it really hurts."' All boxers should take this on board. Fact is, never let your opponent that you've been hurt....

good post. I did think Pac was getting hurt by Cotto's shots but he was not showing. Cotto should have thrown more in the early rounds, especially when he had him against the ropes. Pac made great adjustment in staying away from Cotto's left. It is very hard to beat a southpaw with just your left, I think you need a good right hand. This is the problem both De La Hoya and Cotto had. Thats why Marquez looked good against Pac because he does have a good right hand. Either Mayweather or Mosley would present problems to Pac because of their good right hand(both are actually good with both hands), although the Mayweather fight would be a boring one. Mosley would be action packed. Thats the fight fans should be asking for. Pac is a beast and is the most entertaining fighter today, I hope to see him in more fights in the future....even if they are tune-up fights. He is so exciting to watch.

pacman is an actor now. wapakman did wonders for his boxing career. :spankme:

im not talking power. and he doesnt have to hit with alot of power. he precise. and he wont deviate from his plan like Cotto pac is getting stomped by Floyd I dont understand why people think floyd will dominate or pac will dominate. its gonna be a good fight, i just see pac pulling out a decision win. IMO floyd will make one of the best fights, boring

You shouldn't put decimals in a fraction. It's just bad. :lol1: Yeah, that was funny when he said that. I LOLd. He's right though. He took some tough shots from Cotto to prove to him that he couldn't hurt him. It hurt, I'm sure but in the long run it was the right thing for him to do. well at first i put 6/10 but then i thought about it and floyd doesnt hit that hard.

Manny is very strong mentally, he endured hardship at a very young age

Lucky for Floyd he doesnt need power to win fights then huh? I'm not gonna talk shit, FULL credit to Manny, This greatest of all time shit is a joke tho. dont act like floyds a warrior, hits and runs. And he doesnt like to get hit, kinda hard to do when your fighting manny

The thing with Floyd though is that he shadows his punches and hits you with the ones you dont see...those hurt. Pac does the same. Going to be a good foking fight when it happens. if cotto couldnt knock down pac, floyd wont. Floyd will catch pac w/ some counter punches and make pac off balanced, like JMM did to pac.

I thought this was a great and honest admission by Pac. Cos there was no way he didn't feel those punches when he was laying on the ropes. He definitely made it look like they were nothing though. Great fight. QUOTES FROM THE PRESSCON ON BEING AN ALL-TIME GREAT BOXER Bob Arum: "I will go on the record, and say that I really believe that Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter I've ever seen. That includes Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler. The best fighter I've ever seen." Pacquiao: "I think I'm just an ordinary fighter." Roach: "You're not ordinary." "He's as good as any of them. He's the greatest fighter of this era that's for sure." ON FIGHTING MIGUEL COTTO ON THE ROPES Roach: "I yelled at him every time: Why are you fighting his fight?" "I can handle it, Manny told me." Pacquiao: "The first three rounds I tried to measure his power. I'm trying to fight toe-to-toe. Of course I respect Cotto, but his camp they were always saying he was bigger and stronger. I wanted to let him know who was stronger and tougher in that ring." “Our plan and strategy for the fight was not to hurry. We knew he was going to counter. We were very careful because we didn’t know what will happen.” "I tried to pretend that it's not going to hurt. But it really hurts." "It was one of the toughest fights in my boxing years. I took a lot of punches from Cotto. He's strong and he hits hard. It was all about being smart in the ring and pretending not to be hurt when you really are." "I was trying to control the fight. In my mind." MIGUEL COTTO MESSAGE Cotto: “I didn’t see where the punches were coming from." “I fought everybody. Manny is one of the best boxers of all time.” lol,,,,,,,,,,,,, floyd doesnt hit nowhere as hard as cotto. cottos power is 8/10 floyds power is 5.5/10 The thing with Floyd though is that he shadows his punches and hits you with the ones you dont see...those hurt. Pac does the same. Going to be a good foking fight when it happens.

maybe you didnt see aroun his eyes. Floyd is going to stomp pac...cant wait lol,,,,,,,,,,,,, floyd doesnt hit nowhere as hard as cotto. cottos power is 8/10 floyds power is 5.5/10

That was very smart, even if it was crazy on his part. No doubt it had a terrible psychological effect on Cotto.

That right ear of Pac's looked like it hurt, but other than that he looked pretty mark-free.

The part with Roach saying your not ordinary was funny. Pac was like, Sorry Master. lol. I also thought he put up a hell of a good act to not look hurt by Cotto's body punches because they looked strooooong. If not for Pac's conditioning, he would have gone down at some point after giving Cotto all those freebies. That's like Mayorga letting Tito hit him with his left hook in the first, except Pac played it off better :D
