DAMN!!!! Is all I can said, he is just too good. We are watching one of the best boxers of all times, period. He took my boy and beat him on every way, a boxer can be beaten......Now that this is over I can go back to being a neutral boxing fan. Yeah right!!!!!!!! Congrats to all my Pinoy friends here and to the ones that are not my friends too, LOL............
props for manning up. :D
credit also goes to cotto for being the warrior that he was and will always be. :D
how do you know? It was never even tested. Pathetic Cotto barely landed anything on it. Pac was too quick.
on the contrary, manny's chin was actually tested a number of times in this fight. cotto was quite accurate with his punches in the first half of the fight. pac was hit flush in various exchanges but didn't budge and kept on moving forward. that's how good his chin was.
try watching the fight again..
Manny was clearly ahead of cotto and couldve coasted for a win decision...but went for the kill and Kenny Bayless had to stop the fight for a TKO...
JMM, the bloated lightweight, had floyd @158+ backing him up the LAST 10 seconds of the 12th round while already losing the first 11.
How you floyd fans defend a vagina like floyd is despicable. This fight exposed the lack of balls floyd has compared to Manny. Floyd is nothing more than a glorified Olympian looking to score points and keep his W. Floyd is too scared to lose and goes 12 rounds running away from the likes of baldomir, JMM, old de la hoya, judah.
Manny is everything floyd wishes everyone would think of him as.
:yeah:
Floydie must be goin nuts with envy upon seeing pac demolished cotto! :rofl:
I was very surprised to see how Pacquiao knocked down Cotto, twice. He's truly something else.
totally agree with you
and with roach telling everyone that manny is not ordinary during the post fight press conference, i agree as well..
And that's coming from a big Mayweather fan. I've been a fan of his skills like a lot for a long time.
But Pacman is proving too much vs old Mayweather foes (Hatton, DLH) in more impressive fashion
He's eclipsed Mayweather in the "I've won 5 titles in 5 weight classes" argument
He has a bigger list of HOFers and "names" on his record
He's the bigger draw and something Floyd hasn't allowed himself to be, likeable
He's considered (and rightfully so) the #1 P4P fighter in the world
He's embarrassing and stopping jr welters and welterweights
And he's doing it all with a crowd pleasing style.
co-sign
props to you for giving pacman the credit he rightfully deserves.
First off, congrats to Pac for this excellent performance. Also propz to Samurai for telling it how it is. Team Philippines hold your heads high you deserve it...you have one of the best fighters that has ever lived.
There is no doubting Pac's greatness...after all the turmoil and hardship P.I. has been going through lately (with the typhoons and all) you all deserve to end this year on a high note!!! :notworthy
This is to Pac and all of P.I...:beerchug:
D-Om
props to you for manning up and giving pacman the credit he rightfully deserves.
credit also goes to cotto who had the heart of a true champion. :D
I think Pac will force Floyd to fight out of his comfort zone...and then you'll see how great Floyd is...
yeah right..
but as much as i wanna see floydie's greatness, i ain't seen it or probably, it just hasn't happened yet(will it?).
it's a good thing manny's there to provide us with what's missing in floyd's.Lol!
Cotto was not damaged goods, he fought well until he started getting hit hard, and just like everyone else who gets hit hard by Paq, they get beat up.
pretty accurate assessment
Props to Cotto for showing some great class. No excuses. No shit.
A true Puerto Rican warrior.
I hope he gets credit for everything he does and continues to put boxing fans at awe.
He showed great heart.
same here.
props to a great warrior in cotto.:D
what no one agrees with this¿¿¿
cotto isn't damaged goods.
he just got beaten by a great fighter and he needs to move on and reassert hisself in the same division.
he has good technical skills but just couldn't cope up with manny's speed. He also needs to improve on his defense and stamina..
thanks for your comments and yes he loss to a true ATG. I still think that any high volume puncher will break his nose again.
Spiting blood by the sixth round ......not good....shows a terrible weakness...
I guess I will have to wait till cotto{s next fight...
but I am very happy for manny win, he definitely erased any doubts regarding DLH and hatton.
what's there to doubt in pac's win over hatton? :pat:
hatton got caught with a power punch and was out cold. that's all there is to it.
Yeah you must have missed it...or maybe Floyd just turned pro yesterday...he hasn't fought anyone up to this point...that's why everyone wants to see this fight...
which is better, manny going up in weight to demolish cotto at welter or floydie taking up on a blown up lightweight two divisions lower him and facing him at the welterweight level?
u sure u wanna answer that? lol!
greatness is often gauged by the level of odds stacked against you and defying it in the process.
many times we've seen pacman do it. just goes to show how great packy had become.
let's just be thankful to have witnessed a great fighter in this era. :D
Is there anyone out there that would dispute this quote from tonight?
anyone who tries to dispute cotto's quote just to discredit pacman will be one helluva damn, stupid, sour-graping son of a witch! Lol!
I hope Roach analyzes this match and gets Pacquiao to box better--this performance aint doing jack when he'll be against Mayweather. THis performance was pure RAW skill. I want Manny to improve his craft if he ever wants to beat Mayweather.
of course roach will do his homework and pac will show up with an entirely different gameplan against mayweather.. let's just wait and see. :D
