If Pac can be floored with body shots early in his career by guys with losing records who's to say this guy can't bounce back. It will just take him alot to shake that reputation and be taken serious again. But, if he gets in a tough fight and sticks it out he will be back. I was kinda looking forward to an Ortiz vs Kirkland showdown and jesus that's so far gone now, it's crazy cause just this year they were both young stars now there both literally non factors and will have to start over, they just got a smell not even a taste.
i didnt hear any interviews with pac saying he didnt deserve to be hit like that victor ortiz is just another fernando vargas at least vargas was a champion
Last week but I knew people would mock the Idea. Here is why I believe that its possible for him to do so.
If you remember, Shane fought well into his late 20's and could have in his 30's at 135. If you understand human growth, at 25 is when you really stop growing physically. While you do put on some weight in you 30's and 40's if you keep in physical shape the size you were when you in your physical prime shouldnt be hard to get back two. We see it in the case of fighters like Roy Jones making 168, Zab being able to make 140 etc. These guys were always in great physical shape even between training camps. Also I really think with African Americans its alot easier since majority of blacks can keep the same frame well into there late 30's.
Also unlike Cotto, De La Hoya and others, Shane never outgrew his weight class or struggled at any point to make weight. He simple went up to chase big time fights. He never should have been at 154 and even had to take steriods to bulk up to that size. I even think at one point he was even using a combo of supplements and weightlifting to make 147 (hence all that balco stuff). So in reality at best Shane is a WW and should have never fought higher than that. He has always made weight rather easy, keeps himself in great physical shape and could have easily made 135 well into his early 30's if he wanted to.
I was gonna post this last week but I knew too many haters would focus on him fighting at 154 as oppose to the reason why. I wouldnt be shocked to see him at 140 and still be the shane we are use to seeing.
fixed*.........
Mosley is above that he's the guy why does he have to take a step back and fight a guy that will make him no money and get him pretty much no credit. Shane is the number 1 WW he deserves better frankly. Cotto should be rematching Clottey if anything or going to Staples for a Mosley rematch. Just cause Arum is feeding us Salisbury steak and calling it fillet don't mean shane gotta suffer.
why would cotto have to go to staples for the rematch , last time i checked cotto beat mosley
What do they mean by, "Not waiting for Mayweather"...
He's fighting in July, he will ready for his next fight around the same time frame when Pacquiao is ready as well.
Sounds like the words of a ducker to me...
thats mayweathers language manny just wants to make the fight bigger the same bullshit may fed margarito
Floyd doesn't need Pacquiao, under any circumstances. If it's about money, Floyd can go ahead and fight Hatton in manchester for Hatton's farewell fight which would fill out any stadium and plus it's easy money for Floyd. Pacquiao telling Floyd he needs to prove himself would just be clowning himself because Floyd can just go the Pacquiao route and fight everyone that Pacquiao fought, in this case "Pacquiao beats Cotto" so, Mayweather goes ahead and fights Cotto too. Just like Pacquiao made a name for himself for defeating Mayweathers leftovers.
that would be the mayweather way
i agree man... but ya never know... PR day parade in NY, i dont see clottey getting a fair trial.... will be like a typical glen johnson fight... ROBBED
damn we really have some idiots on here
Retard, always taking shots at Cotto. Your dumbass will see, Cotto won't need the judges to win.
What was funny in that article is that the writer said that Cotto is as skilled body puncher as Clottey, that's pretty ****ing dumb Clottey's body work is shit compared to Cotto's.
people always overhype things the same people that thought hatton was gonna beat pac man are the same people that think clottey is gonna overpower cotto **** outta here
Cotto DID win decisions in MSG against Mosley and Clottey.......and there's quite a few who feels those scraps could've gone either way........Mosley-Pac is the better fight because of history and CURRENT form........Cotto was stopped with a * next to it a year ago......regardless of what WE SUSPECT.......he was stopped!!!.......something Mosley has NEVER been!!.........as far as the purse split.......it would just ass hole DISRESPECTFUL to offer a Shane Mosley 20% of a split......thats just crazy!!!......70-30 gets Pac KTFO in 7 brutal action packed rounds!!
any other ref would have stopped this fight.......... the first forrest fight
awwwwwwwww man just got in my damn self what a night that 6th round was something else i actually got a pic with allan green i also saw team pacquaio on the way out but i wasnt gonna stand in line to get a pic with that fat dude i think his name buboy dont know
**** a catchweight they should fight at 147 he fought dela hoya at 147 if they fight at 147 pacquaio is basically saying that his win over dela hoya was bulll shit
i think the hate comes from mosley being so desperate to fight pacquaio that he will say or do anything he should go fight berto or clottey in a high school gym somewhere and shut the **** up
I don't think that Cotto is past his prime, I just think that the Cotto fans that claimed he could walk on water and was going to be the next Sugar Ray Robinson are seeing that he is more than human.
Cotto is a very, very good fighter and that's all he will ever be. He won't be great......just my opinion.
what does that even mean?
