Pacquiao's Adviser Prefers Cotto Next, Not Mayweather

[F l i c k e r]

Bad decision either way. Floyd might jus counter and beat him. Cotto will hurt him.

I agree.

Who does he have a better chance against though? Cotto. Why? Cotto has a suspect chin, doesn't do well against punches in high volume, wont pot shot, doesn't avoid damage very well. He wants Cotto because its a higher chance to win, about 65%. If he picked Floyd, his chances of winning turns from a 65% to 30%.


Marg wasn't packing **** against Cotto. Look at Marg's history. Not after PWill but before PWill and throughout his whole career. He destroyed people in the same fashion as Cotto. Hell, he RIPPED A MAN'S EAR OFF.

There is no way in hell you can tell me, without being a hater/delusional Cotto fan, that the Athletic Commisions didn't know he had plaster in his wraps for 43 fights. The 44th fight being Mosley. You cannot tell me, not just the Commissions but the TRAINERS/COACHES of his opponent's didn't see the plaster or had a problem. COTTO's COACH DIDN"T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WRAPS. That right there obviously tells me that he did not attempt to use palster until Mosley.

A good point. Executioner for MayMafia Don!

You know I don't want that position lol

Why go str8 back instead of turning the tank? Becuz he is not a great fighter. Just a good one with some style that drives his FANS wild. Margie doesnt beat pbf or pacq with plaster.

i dont think pac and pbf combined pack the same power mosley does, marg would get hit by either and laugh and goad them for more! pbf maybe could put on his usual marathon display and win on points but not in a fight thats for sure, eventually marg would catch him ,margs style tailor made for floyd

He has out boxed pure boxers before, and he can cut off the ring just as good as anyone. Check out the Quintana fight and you'll see how he effectively cuts off the ring against a NATURAL welterweight southpaw ( pure boxer) who you could make a case for being a hard puncher than Pacquaio. Cotto is a better boxer than Manny is and with all due respect, i can not see how he could do anything to trouble Cotto.

He also out boxed Margarito using the ring effectively until those plaster bats wore him down.

I can see why you would think that. This is just how I think Roach sees the fight. I haven't seen the Quintana fight, I'll make sure to watch it. Is Quintana a pure boxer? Is Mosley a pure boxer? But he won the Judah and Mosley fights because of his pressure mostly but also his boxing. Bhopreign was right, he didn't box Margarito, he was trying to keep him off him. People talk about his boxing but I just think it is the fact he has a jab, he can only throw punches when he plants his feet hence why he was there to hit when he hitting Margarito. Also the two rounds where he tried to box and move against Mosley he lost and it was Mosley cutting him off. Either way when he fights Pacquiao he won't g out there to box him and I feel Roach thinks Pacquiao can pick him off when he comes in and then move away

People wonder why the Philippines is in such poverty. They elect their Congress by their boxing ability.

How can someone say Cotto styles is similar to Hatton? I hope PAC fans dont play the catchweight game! weigh in at 147, You are calling out the LEGIT WW, then be prepared. Cotto will kill this hype of PACMAN at WW or Jr WW: beat a ghost of DLH, overrated RH. I hope Cotto destroys Clottey and put him against this overated WW hype!! Stay below 140 before you get hurt!

manny will not beat anybody with boxing skills,he took a beating against jmm,and yes jmm beat him,and for those who say he didn't,let's say he didn't,but he looked bad in there,floyd will make him look silly,,,pacman can't beat a boxer,period.

You are probably right because even pacquiao team thinks so..

“Manny should go for Cotto. It’s the wise fight. It’s the better fight,” said Salud to The Philippine Star. “For one, he’s a straight-up fighter. He’ll come in. And that’s what Manny wants, someone like Ricky Hatton. I think we have a better chance against Cotto than Mayweather who will run away from Manny inside the ring. Not a beautiful fight."

Salud repeats the past statement of Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who says the clash of styles will make for an ugly fight.

“Mayweather can dance the whole fight and beat Manny on points. And even if Manny wins, he may not look good," Salud said. "So why fight Mayweather this year and maybe affect your chances in the elections. Manny should take on Cotto, beat him, then run for Congress, and face Mayweather later on."

I think they watch tape of Mayweather and saw that Pacquiao style of fighting would play right into Floyd's hands..
no other way around them making these comments..
unless they believe so

Fact is; he's probably a good bull****er. He would have never sold half those tickets on his own and you know this. When you have foreign born fighter selling more tickets then you do in your own country, then you got problems.
Hatton and De la Hoya were responsible for more than half of tickets sold in both those fights. Don't come to me wit that oki doke **** and think it'll stick.

Fact is: American boxing fans/African American/***ish American/ whatever, don't support boxing like other countries do, bottom line!

The NFL is America's # 1 sport.

Once again where is Cotto support? How was his support in the Latin community when he fought the ever so touch Michael Jennings? Wasnt it like 200k buys? Anytime FMJ was on PPV his numbers at least doubled 200k. So again where is your proof? I dont see Vegas outbidding New York to get Cotto. What you fell to realize or admit to is, Floyd is in the driver seat. Didnt you notice how he made GBP make him the main promoter in the his fight with JMM? See if Cotto can pull that off.

cotto and marg my faves ,but i agree they blew the whole plaster thing way out of proportion , his hands were checked prior to every bout, and it was plaster elements not plaster big diffrence tape has plaster tape and guaze can have plaster elements doesnt mean its plaster,and besides he didnt even use em i dont understand why theyre crying so much buncha little babies
