Cotto's trainer/team should be put on an deserted island and left there. Why the hell did you let cotto stop using his jab and why didn't you stop fight after 9th rd. You protect your boxer no matter what he says. IDIOTS !!
you guys do realize that he was getting eaten up throwing that jab right?
that jab worked for ONE round. the FEELOUT round.
don't you guys think all the right hooks pacquiao was throwing over cotto's jab and the straight lefts cotto ate when he threw that jab might have a little something to do with him not throwing it as much?
A lot of people seem to have this misconception. Cotto stopped throwing because Pac was f****** him up when he threw it.
Not saying it was 6-7 rds but it was more than 1 rd and cotto is smart enough to change his strategy. He fought mosley in a smart way and this is the same mosley who destroyed margarito. Don't get me wrong, pacquiao would've still won but cotto could've made it a decision, instead of fight being stopped. Hatton fought pacquiao wrong and so many other fighters. Marquez is only one to fight him right way and he should've gotten decision in 2nd fight but that's life.
cotto won 1 round. 1.
the 1st.
the only rounds he was competitive was rounds 3 , 4.
he got knocked down in 3 and 4 so it didn't matter.
5 is debatable but he still didn't do much.
Because Cotto was on his bike as early as the 7th, by the 10th he weren't fighting anymore. So PAC was stopping from time to time and looking at the ref to say what's the point? PAC was being nice, Roach said it himself during the fight. PAC was gonna get him out of there that's why the ref stopped it that soon. Roach and other Team Pacquiao members plead for the KO and PAC was putting all his bombs in that final round. The ref knows and realizes that PAC was gonna kill Cotto if he doesn't do something...
Kill? yes...knockout? NOPE !! I'll admit, cotto did not have anything past 10 rd but whether he was retreating or running, still not knocking him out. Why are we bitching about this? It's fact, pacquiao beat up cotto, not argueing that. He beat him and fight was stopped. Cotto did not quit or fight dirty or got knocked out. He lost by TKO and now that fight is in the past. It's like floyd vs marquez. Floyd knocked him down and marquez still had energy to keep fighting till end but we know marquez was also not getting knocked out.
WTF? If you know you ain't gonna win and not even gonna try to win, then quit already. Cotto looked foolish and embarrassed there, and people are getting blamed especially Santiago for the fight going too long. That mentality of making it to the final bell is all BS if you're talking about risking your health and God forbid life.
You let the corner/ref end the fight but no matter what pacquiao was going to do, he was not going to knock out cotto. Pac could've knocked him down 6-10 times but he can't knock out cotto. Also, if cotto would've quit, you guys would've been all over him. No matter what cotto would've done you guys would be killing him. If somehow he would've won by split decision, you still would've killed him.
There are boxing fans who appreciate boxing and EVERY opponent and there are haters. Many on boxingscene are BOXING FANS, there are few that are haters and we deal with it. It's not like we have a choice. I respect MANNY 150% and have nothing bad to say about manny.
If pacquiao gets beaten bad by floyd, pacquiao fans need to still support pacquiao, same way TRUE cotto fans support cotto. I'm positive because even though he has taken punishment, noone knocking cotto out. They could knock him down 2-3 times but you are not knocking cotto out.Gotta like that in your boxer. Also,since margarito fight the boy has heart, might not have a good corner but he has heart and pacquiao saw that. You retreat/run but don't let anyone knock you out...lol
Roach was pleading to PAC going to the 12th, "Manny, please knock this son of a bitch out!"
It's so difficult because cotto is not going to let that happen. Yes, ref might stop fight or cotto's corner, but pacquiao, margarito, mosley not going to knock cotto out. That is why as a cotto fan i support him because i know there is noone in welterweight division that can KO him, like hatton or diaz by marquez.
Nothin they said woulda changed shit.
You might be right. All good fighters lose. Pacquiao has lost, cotto has lost, floyd could lose. What i respect even when you lose is when a fighter fights the best and is not afraid. Pacquiao does that and so does Cotto and unless you a person is biased, then everyone has to see that.
The No. 1 reason why Pac keeps winning is they always understimate him and always relys on the way he fight on all his previous fights.
You just can't do that to Pac, every fight Pac has, he has shown differently but most never sees it. They only wants to see what they want to see like with the Hatton match "same move everytime" but what happened?
Yes he may have the same move everytime but why are his opponents kept getting caught flatfooted or down in the canvass?
"you're a lot smarter than him."
"all he has is the left."
santiago thinks pacquiao is a dumb fighter? he thinks all pacquiao has is the left?
santiago didn't do his homework.
A large number of Floyd fans think the same.
"He has flaws" / "He has terrible balance" / "He's one-dimensional" / "He's all hype".

Agree 100%. He can work his spanish in there and make cotto feel comfortable. Just feel cotto is hardheaded and will stick to santiago. Lesser fighters have made comebacks to win titles after beatdowns.

Perhaps i said it wrong. Just felt like Cotto was there alone and pacquiao was there with a trainer. The only one i'd keep would be his cutman after the job he did in Clottey fight. Santiago goes or cotto will never be back on top.

exactly the man for the job...
if its not too late for an old dog to learn new tricks
cotto needs a nazeem, steward or roach level trainer
right now he is own boss in camp
that doesnt work

The trainer isn't outside the ring with a video game controller controlling what Cotto throws.
Cotto stopped throwing jabs himself. His corner told him a couple times to work the jab. I agree Cotto does not have a good corner, but Cotto was the one who abandoned his jab, not his corner.
