Top Rank Confirms: Pacquiao vs. Cotto a Done Deal!

[deanrw]

This is a going to be a great fight and it is a huge risk for both of them. Both guys deserve credit because their opponent has the true capability to win the fight. It will all come down to who gains the momentum early in the fight.

I'm stuck in between, so many intangibles. I cannot predict who will win this.

I can already see the manny nuthuggers jumping off bridges, It's going to be a sad day in the phillipines

It's funny that a chicano is still talkin **** and calling PACQUIAO a fraud. If anyone is a FRAUD its your former mexican champs..BARRERA loses to AMIR KHAN...MORALES lost to DAVID "SUPER SLOW DIAZ. Quit ****in making excuses everytime your mexican boxers lose a fight...we owned you guys...Philippine boxing is in mexico boxing is an afterthought....

The only problem with me on Cotto did he need a good corner for this match.....I dont like his corner i miss evangelista i know he is a greedy Mofu but i really dont like Cotto's corner for his last fight .

I agree...they seem like amatuers in there, and i think maybe Cotto will pretty much ignore any suggestions from his corner, most likely. Must be hard to adhere to new tips while you're the one in the ring getting pot-shotted. I wish he would get a real team together.

Paccquiao is ducking Mayweather and Mosely. Why would you take on arguable the most vunerable welterweight champ.........This is a dumb fight, I'm not paying for it.

If Pacquiao is ducking PBF and SSM, at least he is ducking bigger men.
What is the reason why PBF is ducking Cotto and SSM?
Mosley is available since january. PBF vs SSM should have been announced before Pacquiao vs Hatton.
Mayweather could have called out Cotto after he lost to Margarito.

He would take the most vulnerable WW champ because he is barely a JWW.

...for Cotto. He's got no chance @ Manny. this is just a warm-up for pbf.
I watched the Clottey fight and it reminded me of when DeLa Hoya ran like a scared little girl from Tito. I used to love Cotto, but have lost all respect for him as a fighter. This will be his last fight people will pay to see. Sad.

Did you not see the blood?? He had 1 eye. He had to be cautious and didn't fight his normal fight but he still beat Clottey.

I can see Cotto working him down and taking his speed away from him with body shots then, knocking him out.


My opinion

My opinion

Yes I saw the blood. and that's a good point. but he only hit Clottey when he let him on the ropes. can he really walk down manny.!? I don't think i've ever seen manny get hit downstairs.. ever!! Too much movement, too much speed, too much power, too solid of a chin if he even gets caught, too good of a trainer....why am I arguing, it's inevitable.

[WESS]

i dont know why hatton is labeled as over hyped/rated. he ko'ed malignaggi before he fought pac. malignaggi lasted 12 rounds with cotto.
cotto might be too big but pac is too fast. dont have to win by ko to win. pac could difinitely hit cotto.

lol KO'ed????? Hardly... Watch the fight again. He was very well standing on his feet yelling at his corner who threw in the towel. He was not knocked out.

Hatton was ok until he stepped his game up. I said it from the very start. I like hatton but he was NEVER ever anything special. Mayweather litterly distroyed him and took EVERYTHING he ever worked for in the ring away from him. Pac capitalized on this and had a VERY easy night just I said MONTHS before the fight ever took place. I actually said that he would beat Hatton so bad that people would start to actually believe he could beat mayweather! What happend?

I like Pac but again, not agasint Mayweather, Mosley and Cotto.
