    agreed, people should know by now, that the DLH fight was clearly a showcase fight.

      I'm gonna give Cotto alot of credit. Pacquiao doesn't have an uppercut, Cotto is gonna have to establish a jab early on, plant his foot alot less and go in there with a high guard. He shouldn't open up too much, pick his shots wisely.

        *PS, you luv me too Ch@mp. Don't front homey.
        1. Well the only one right now, willing to face top WWs is Cotto and Clottey, Cuz Mosley is dissing every fighter who aint pacquiao, Berto You know the story there and WIlliams is a SWW!!!!!!

        2. Lol jajajajajaj LOL

            That can also be a mistake. A fighter who isn't used to throwing uppercuts, throwing them.

Manny has proven he can bring his power and speed with him moving up, but he has rarely been hit, and there is a huge difference in a beast like cotto cutting weight to ww, and manny moving up. I'm a pac fan, and i hope he wins, but i'm not delusional. Is it not safe to say, that even thou clottey isn't regarded as a huge puncher, that he probably hits as hard as manny at 145-147? And rightfully so, he should since he walks around at 175.

              I guess the reason for this question, is i'm seeing alot of cotto fans bragging and saying he's gonna ko manny. And i should fkn hope that a man as big as cotto and regarded as one of the hardest punching ww rightnow, can impose his will on pac.
              How much credit? He gets a 110 bucks from me.

                Well to put it into some kind of perspective.

                I have Cotto at #5 p4p(own personal list)

                If he beat Manny Pacquiao...I would move him up to spots to number 3...Though I don't know who I would have in front of him ATM.

                It's a tough scenario....

                JMM and MP are 1 and 2 right now.

                JMM has Floyd...Everybody is thinking that fight is a miss match....So if JMM loses does he get bumped off #2 even though he climbed to a weight he's never been tested at before...and on the flipside...Does Mayweather deserve a p4p top 3 ranking for beating up on a blown up JMM if he shows he can't be competitive at 147?


                Thinking about this **** for to long will make you go cross-eyed


                The p4p rankings are going to go through a big change in the next 6 months that's for sure.

                  not much..from me anyway..givin the circumstances of the fight he SHOULD win..of course if he loses its gonna be all bad for him. I think Manny is in somewhat in a win/win situation..i mean if he loses then its like you cant really blame him cus he fought a top welterweight ect ect...if he wins..well I dont think i have ta explain what will happen...The only people that might give him full credit are the mainstream boxing fans

                    The way I look at it how can he not get credit for beating the 1 p4p even if pac is the smaller man

                      mainstream = casuals?

                      If so then I agree....but thats what matters...If you have the mob on your side...you got it made.
