Cotto is nothing more than a tune up for Manny Pacquiao.

[fightingfigs]

This is a tune up for Manny who has come off very difficult fights, and is looking for an easy opponent before mingling with the big dogs: JMM or Mayweather. The promoters can sugar coat it the way they like, but Cotto is nothing more than a stepping stone, and a glorified sparring parter for bigger fights in the future.

glorified sparring partner?? Thast a lot to say.

Bookmarked for future humiliation

Im no Floyd fan, but Floyd doesn't run for the sake of not wanting to get KTFO like Cotto does. Floyd uses footwork to set up his offense. Cotto runs to avoid getting beaten up. He should joing the ethiopian marathon team, but he would gas after a few miles.

Bernard Hopkins is the captain of that team.

Ironic isn't it?

[street bully]

You really don't see Pacquiao winning this? Remember I said this, Cotto plants his foot, he needs to get set inorder to throw, that would be his downfall PLUS his stamina isn't too good. Remember, Cotto needed to get room to get set against Shane, Margarito, Clottey, where as fighters like Aaron Pryor didn't have to do all that, he could throw his power shots from any angle. Watch Cotto's key punch, the left hook, notice he has to get set, during that time, Pacquiao would have already gotten out of the way/ or landed a combo.

Exactly. Also Cotto can not fight off the backfoot, hence why he runs.

Lol, a 45 year old man? Watch some Hopkins while he was in his 30s and see if he ever gave ground. At 45 I wonder where Cotto will be.

Cotto goes backwards and sits in a corner better than any fighter Ive ever seen!

you forget that he has a nice crisp power jab that he beat the **** out of mosley with on the backfoot and on the move. Dom.

So when Floyd moves it's defense. When Cotto moves it's because he's afraid to get beat up.

And you say you aren't a Cotto hater?

Hopkins fought a bunch of bums during his title reign.

Who do you think I am, Morade Hakkar???

At 45, Cotto will be sitting in San Juan, rich as *** ****ing hot bitches chillin...

damn these threads need to be held to at least september. this back and forth opinions, debates and hating for the next 4 months is gonna make some1 jump off a bridge. im trying to stay calm because its been a rough year 4 boxing after starting so good. after the weigh in then ill be glad to jump in and get crazy with every1, but 4 now the fight is not happening. what should this fight be billed.. i have either "the battle of the islands" or "the tropical storm"
