The pressure is on paquiao not cotto.

[mikelovesfood]

Now that we know that cotto-paquiao is official. lets begin by saying that the pressure is on paquiao not cotto, paquiao is in a situation that he cannot lose the fight. this is due the glass tower created by the media. he need to keep his image, otherwise the tower will be down. this is an advantage to Miguel. oh course, miguel will step in the ring like a hurricane smashing buildings. paquiao will not be able to hold the fury of the Taino from caguax (today caguas)

I'd have to disagree.

If there's anything boxingfans can all agree on is that when Pac has a fight, he ALWAYS brings it. 110% consistency in his fights. The bond and trust between Pac and Roach is far too great. So when Roach says something to Pac in the corner he goes out and does that. I'm just saying that whatever gameplan Roach sets up for Manny you can basically guarantee that Manny will stick to that plan.

Pressure is on Cotto to.

He didn't clearly win last time out and needs a clear victory against a top fighter plus Pacquiao is the smaller man.

Exactly, if Cotto loses this fight with Pacquiao and putting into account his last two previous bout it will be the end of his career and he'll be considered a "has been" and/or an unsuccessful contender.

There is nothing more embarrassing than losing to a midget flyweight. And plus, if it's by KO, I don't think Cotto should even continue fighting.

The pressure's on Cotto for sure.

The only pressure that's going to be going on is Cotto's relentless attack of Pacquiao!

I see Cotto pressuring Pacquiao's head and body all night, it's Pacquiao who will have the pressure of getting this hard hitting Puerto Rican warrior off of him.

The pressure is not on either man. they are getting paid millions of dollars, and are both well respected warriors in the ring. they both dont give a **** what no life having internet nerds say on about them on a message board. the guy that loses goes on and fights the next guy and makes millions again. just remember all the **** we talk on here is all opinions and dont affect the lives of those fighters.

bull**** if pac or cotto lose they will go on to fight again if they choose to. one lose to a top fighter doesnt end someones career. if that were the case everyfighter in history would retire with one loss on their record.

If Cotto loses the fight with Pacquiao, it's going to be his 3rd successive defeat 'cause I considered Clottey won the fight. So 3rd straight lost for Cotto in his last 3 fights. Then he needs to retire.

it doesnt matter what u think of the clottey fight, its a win in the record books. and losing 2 fights in your career dont mean u need to retire. pac has 3 loses and 2 draws, in actuallity he was close to having five loses instead he barely got 2 draws. so should pac have retired years ago when he loss three fights and 2 draws? no.

Losing to a small featherweight like Pacquiao is like the most embarrassing lost in the annals of boxing history. He needs to retire and stop the embarrassment of getting KTFO by a midget.

[Pullcounter]

The pressure is on cotto. If he can't beat someone who is 10 lbs lighter than him, he needs to quit boxing.

For pac, there is no shame for losing against someone who outweighs u by 10 lbs.

10 years ago anyone ever thought manny could be featherweight champ?

5 years ago anyone thought manny would be a lightweight or super lightweight champ?

1 year ago anyone thought manny would be challenging for a welterweight belt?



no pressure on manny.

he's made all the money. he's gonna retire soon. he's just fighting for a few more big paychecks and to add to his legacy.

manny could get ktfo this november and retire and it wouldn't hurt his legacy.

if anyone even had brought up manny fighting cotto last year , they would have gotten laughed at. now it's gonna hurt manny if he loses?



pressure is on cotto. he has everything to lose. manny has been playing with house money since 130.
