Ya know I was wondering the same thing, if Clottey was being penalized for flopping/over-acting? There you have Cotto, bloody as hell, and here you have Clottey on the ground looking like he just got shot. Could his acting influenced the judges to give close rounds to Cotto? hmmm....
At first I was feeling that Cotto could hurt pac and take him out late, but now I'm starting to think that pac's footwork and speed will be able to hurt Cotto. Hmm, if Cotto doesn't get to Pac early, I think he gets taken out late.
Pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao has ordered his promoter Bob Arum to make the fight with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Arum already has a date set down on paper, November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao sat ringside and watched Cotto win a split decision over Joshua Clottey in New York's Madison Square Garden.
While I think Cotto will be too big for the Pacman, it should be an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts.
I can see Cotto taking Pac out early (< 6 rnds), but I wouldn't be surprised if Pac takes out Cotto in the middle rounds.
You know you're relevant when they talk about you.
I find it odd that Oscar is praising a guy who's expressed on numerous occasions his dislike of Oscar, while hating on Pacquiao, the same guy whom after making Oscar quit, called him is fawking IDOL!
Looks like Pac is trying to feast on a fighter that didnt look so good last outing. It might be a bad decision to base his fight with Cotto, with what he saw in Cotto vs Clottey. It also looks like he is worried that Mosley would have beat that ass. Why not call out Cotto before the fight if he wanted it so bad. Looks like he is hand picking opponents that he thinks will be easy just like another fighter by the name of Mayweather. I know Mayweather would be getting a lot of flak for this.
Has there ever been a top fighter that makes a fight against an opponant he doesn't think he can beat? If there are, I'd appreciate it if you list these badasses!
