Miguel Cotto: "Me and Pacquiao Will Be a War"

[rob6465]

Good point, so cotto better KO pac or he'll be a laughing stock. I mean if pac is all hype and cotto can KO a hyped up fighter then that makes cotto worse than a hyped up fighter right???

Hey pullcounter? I have a question for you. Everyone here wants to read it. What happens if by some....MIRACLE....Cotto beats/KO'S pacquiao. How should we view Pacquiao, who is favored 2-1?

[Pullcounter]

nope, i never said pacquiao was hyped, i said propaganda buddy, he's a good fighter, just not this phenomenal talented warrior people make him out to be...dont fool yourself

Either way, cotto should KTFO pac under 6 rounds since pac is not that good as he lost to morales and beat up a weight drained dlh and an overrated hatton. If he can't kTFO pac then cotto then he has no excuse and will shame himself and the island.

I've been saying it for a while... I like Manny but he is in over his head and is being overrated.

People are making it seem like it takes a special kind of style to beat Pacman.. He was beaten by a slow and weak Morales by UD!! We all know about the "draw" against Marquez... and like Cotto mentions the rematch was an edge... Diaz was never a good boxer... DLH was old and hadn't been at 147 for years. Hatton is overrated but I still give Pac credit for the way he achieved this victory.

On the other hand, Cotto has been overly impressive... always OVERCOMING. Yes he lost to Margarito... But he out punched Mosley all night and won... Beat Judah's ass (and I was rooting for Zab). His most impressive win was against Clottey.. He got cut and STILL out punched him and outhustled him. He punished him on several occasions in the corner with a gaping cut on his face. People get it confused and say he looked off that night but its actually backwards. He could have said, "I can't see" and he would have won on the scorecards. The MAN said, "I'm good, lets get it". And he outclassed Clottey the whole night except for rounds 10 and 11.

Cotto's big wins are far more impressive than Pacman's by far... (not taking anything away from the Pacman).. but Cotto beat people at their game. Matched speed with Mosley and outboxed him... Outhustled Clottey and did great on defense guarding his eye while punishing him in the corner.

Cotto is going to dismantle Pacman.... KO

setting up the REAL fight...

Mayweather vs Cotto 2010

Cotto is getting in the war mindframe.

I don't know if Pacquiao is doing the same thing. IMO, he's starting training a bit too late.

the fight is on nov 14 and pac will start his camp come first week of september. he normally train for 8weeks

Agreed, Pacquiao training should not be a worry. He is one of boxing training freaks and has never had conditioning problem, more less would he have it for hi toughest fight of his career.

I can't believe people think Cotto is tough enough to take Pacquiao's shots for 12 rounds. It baffles me.

That's yet to be seen but do you think Pacquaio is tough enough to take Cotto's punches for 12 rounds???

Hey pullcounter? I have a question for you. Everyone here wants to read it. What happens if by some....MIRACLE....Cotto beats/KO'S pacquiao. How should we view Pacquiao, who is favored 2-1?

[Spear]

what will be the excuse given to discredit manny pacquiao if he beats cotto?

-cotto was overrated?
-1 lb weight drained?
-he was damaged goods by margarito?
-he looked bad vs clottey?
-his punch resistance is gone taken away by margarito?
-he was overtrained?
-he did not have proper trainer by his side?

I cannot wait what the pacquiao haters will say if manny wins.

First of all it won't be a miracle. Cotto has basically guaranteed it.

Cotto beats/KO'S pacquiao. How should we view Pacquiao, who is favored 2-1?

I've been saying from the jump that cotto should be the favorite. Obviously I believe the oddsmakers are wrong.

The way u should view pac is a blown up 140 lber who has no business @ 147 lbs. I've been saying this and was against this fight from the jump.

The only 147 lber that pac should fight is pbf, who is a small WW.

From me? NONE ! I don't even think Cotto will make excuses, only idiot pacquiao/cotto fans will make excuses. Now i don't think pacquiao will make excuses if he loses, but ROACH will. WATCH !

Pullcounter,i wouldnt see it as a shame if he doesnt knock pac out.A win is a win.The people will take it.Many are criticizing cotto for getting tired in the late rounds and his opponent has enough speed and stamina to swing it his way.Pac is a different fighter now,he's fighting smarter not harder.Cotto has 10+ lbs as an advantage and pac has stamina + speed as the advantage.Cotto doesnt have to slay his head for a win....many will take a win in any fashion.
