in similar Pacquiao fashion, he will once again surprise everybody w/ what he can do. a lot of people argue that bigger and stronger guys like marg and mosley couldn't knock him down, but i believe pac is a different breed. pacquiao by KO. i looking forward to see roach's 1 rd KO
Cotto on Clottey fight: "The last fight I spent more than 24 hours doing nothing. Just waiting for the weigh-in. My weight was 145."

it's definitely the lighting and the different poses. watch pac/cotto 24/7 episode 3 when freddie's mom talks about pacquiao. when pacquiao, in slow motion, heads towards the ropes he looked so ****ing ripped.
pac has got balls. he said he felt bad that cotto was saying how much bigger/stronger he was compared to pac. pac responded by standing toe to toe just to prove the stronger person. true warrior.
in round 4 manny was on the ropes, but wasn't in trouble. he was egging cotto to keep punching him. lampley thought he was in trouble, but steward noted that he wasn't getting hurt and just taking a breather. you can see manny slap his gloves together asking for more. i was so f@cking impressed by his resilliance
no. you can't suspect pacquiao of cheating just because he denies taking a blood test. it's the same way that you can't doubt a defendant in court because they plead the 5th.
ok, i don't like all this shit about drug testing because pacquiao doesn't have to prove himself. i don't agree that the fight should be stopped because of it though. However, gaining the mental edge is NOT a sign of weakness. Psychological warfare is an IMPORTANT part of any war, and boxing is a war.
If you refuse a drug test people are going to be believe that you've got something to hide.
stupidest reasoning ever. first off, the burden of proof is on PBF, not pacquiao. Pacquiao doesn't have to prove shit. also, denying a test does not implicate you. just like in the court of law, pleading the 5th does not implicate you. i don't agree that pacquiao should stop the fight because he doesn't want to be tested, but it's ****ing bullshit to think that pacquiao is guilty because he doesn't want to.
hey IIRC, didn't ODLH say that Pacquiao didn't hurt him, but now comparing him to the likes of Vargas and Mosley? IMO these guys are just hyping up the fight. The fight is in concrete, trust me. Anyone remember this little fiasco with Hatton:
"Manny decided not to sign," Arum said. "He was unhappy with the terms. So I contacted Schaefer and I told him the situation and he acted accordingly, which means the fight is off. The suits can posture but it's the fighters who have to go in the ring and fight. But I am not thrilled right now."
