He was a good amateur, but he hasnt really shown that skill against world class fighters and he is kind of slow. I dont think he will beat kessler and probably wont be able to outbox ward or dirrell either.
DLH, it was a fight he was expected to win and he was criticised for taking the manny fight over margarito.
Alot of people are actually expecting cotto to lose so if he does lose it wont be so bad and it will prove just how great pacquiao is.
If Pacman wants to fight them and make history he should fight them at a healthy weight otherwise he might aswell stay at 140 and fight the other guys there and the 135 guys
Maybe cruiserweight would be good for toney, hed have to train hard and get into shape and would be motivated for this. He would just be losing his fat not really any muscle
Not an ATG, he got beaten quite badly in his prime like 3 times. Vernon forrest lost to mayorga twice aswell, so i dunno about him beating every elite fighter at 147
Cotto would have fought De la Hoya, pacquiao would prob stay at 135 a while longer and rematch JMM. I still think he would have ended up fighting Hatton though, so he would still be quite a star.
You cant put the blame on either side until a final compromise is made, if team mayweather doesnt offer a decent compromise then its their fault.
If team Pac doesnt agree to a decent compromise then its their fault
I thought they were ok with the random testing, they just didnt want it too close to the fight. That should be a good enough compromise, starting to take stuff a few days before the fight isnt going to help much anyway.
