Pacman didn't force him to brawl at all. It was Cotto who decided to brawl thinking he was the bigger man he would win. Everyone thought it'd be Pacman who would have to box Cotto.
But Cotto did win rounds when he boxed. And even the rounds that he was knocked down in he was doing really well up until the knockdown. Watch round 10, Cotto really frustrates the hell out of Pacman.
You're right. I just had a major brain fart recalling the fight. The thread starter is still wrong.
Yea but Cotto isn't on the same level on Mayweather as a boxer. Floyd is one of the best boxers all time hands down. I'd even go to say hes in the top 5. If Cotto wouldn't have brawl with Pac it would have been a different fight.:boxing:
Cotto did what he did for a reason. Because Pacquiao forced him to do it. That's where your logic fails.
Yeah, Mayweather's a better boxer. But Pacquiao won the last time someone started off boxing him. Now we'd get to see if he could do it against a better boxer.
Because boxing doesn't have insecure fans who feel the need to say one sport is better than another sport, and to do so in a thread where everyone adds "a reasons."
Oh, wait.
Where is Anorak in this thread? I know exactly what he'd say:
"How can Fat Yanks be gutless?"
And then he'd peel back the folds of his stomach, find his little Jeremiah and wank as if he was JUYJUY thinking about Chris Eubank.
Do you think Kball is that cancer kid from the Kelly Pavlik-Gary Lockett preshow? Hyperion said something a while back and I thought about it when I saw it.
No, I just think he's an annoying kid who to his credit has started some good threads. Still, I find him annoying.
Kball does that all the time. Look at his thread history.
I'm aware of that (look at my post history). This is the worst example.
I do think it needed more questions marks.
Capitalize the whole thread title and that may just put this fight over the hype threshold.
BARRIOS-JUAREZ!!!
BARRIOS-JUAREZ!!!
NOW NO ONE CAN IGNORE BARRIOS-JUAREZ!!! THERE'S HYPE! HYPE, I TELL YOU!!!
At the start of this year Diaz held three of four title belts and was widely considered to be the best at 135. He's lost once.
You think he not only doesn't belong in the division, but that he should leave a division in which he is highly competitive, a division that is one of the deepest in boxing.
Nice managing job there.
You all should be ashamed. Arthur Fonzarelli is the undisputed toughest and meanest of all the Arthur's. He lays more chicks than mother goose and once actually did jump a shark.
This wasn't a referendum on Arthurs. This was a look at Abrahams. We just got sidetracked.
Yep image if he moves like pacquiao(also volume puncher) he could be unbeatable.
Pacquiao has more speed on his side, in his hands, body and foot movement.
I don't think any fighter is unbeatable. styles, fights, etc.
Smurfs?...........

This gentleman is named Arthur Abraham, and he's the IBF middleweight champion, whatever the hell that means anymore. If you're looking at his hat and thinking, "Gee, that kind of looks like a Smurf hat," well, you're right: That's exactly what it is.
You see, Abraham is a boxer who is obsessed with The Smurfs. He calls himself "The Smurf," and he — seriously — actually uses The Smurfs theme song as his ring entrance music, which, without question, is the lamest goddamned entrance humanly possible, save for maybe anything by Creed.
And now The Smurfs are pissed. Those who own the rights to The Smurfs theme song have demaned Abraham to cease-and-desist playing the song before fights, and they'd like him to lose the hat too.
Those with the copyright for The Smurfs were initially alerted to Abraham's act when they noticed all his knockouts ended with his opponent being kicked out of the ring, landing on his head and straightening his glasses with a shrug.
