    Hype? This isnt the first easy fight Pac has been in. Pacs last two fights are supposed to be looked at for what they are. Great wins. Only one who believes they were not great fights are haters and dumb asses !

      If they were the same size Bert, maybe. They're not.

        Well, it is not on the level of Tito's, Hearns, Julian Jackson I don't think but it is harder to get stoppages against better opposition....three of his last 4 opponents are known for having good chins and have never been stopped. In fact between the 3 at the time they fought Cotto they had been kd combined times of once only.

          And no offense to Sugar, but these old cats are the same dumb asses that made a spectacle about Duran's "NO MAS."

          Roberto quit, not because he was getting hurt, but because Leonard didn't want to fight. He was frustrated...and these guys dug into Duran's spirit over that lame ****. But at the same time, those daggers probably made Duran want to push harder.

          But I'm kind of pullin for Cotto to shut these clowns up lol..
          That makes it worse..

            cotto punches too hard for little dudes.

            just watch cotto's corley and judah fights. not trying to say that pac is like them, but that's the kinda fight I expect. pac will have a lot of success early, but once cotto starts landing big shots, pac is too small to take them.

            the size advantage is considerable.

            bert surgar is trippin

                I agree with you. Great post. I am picking Pac to win. But, if he does it ease Im with you. I would be truly shocked.

                  I don't think Cotto has 1 punch ko power. But, I think he does have bone crushing power. He is really heavy handed and a very good body puncher. But, he does not have the power to put people to sleep.
