Yea Freddie should of known better to take this fight... Oscar was drained, Ricky was just a moving punching bag... I was surprised they went after Cotto... seriously what are they trying to prove?

I partially agree and disagree. I would rather have a boxer who's being brewed as one of the best fight the most dangerous fights out there, instead of the cherry-picking ones...

You can still get hurt with headgear and 16's. We got guys in my gym that come and go all the time due to sparring injuries. Granted, pac is a champion and consummate professional, but he can still be hurt. Say porter slams him with a body shot, flush. 16's 14's 12's..it doesn't make much of a difference if its a thunderous shot to the ribs.

And... while it is true these fighters probably respect, and look up to Pac, that won't stop them from trying to tear his head off. That's boxing.

Especially with a freaking financial incentive in place...

In a way, the fiercer your go at someone, the more you respect them, anyway. Whereas if one just goes partial effort, its almost like a show of disrespect. Like they aren't worthy of your full strength, type of thing.

Marvelously risky move by Roach...I hope it pays off and doesn't blow up in his face

I know that...I've been buzzed a couple of times myself, and I've put people down as well. But you fight how you train...if you don't have a guy coming at you with all he has, you aren't going to be ready for the real fight.

rumor or not, you have to wonder whats really happening at that camp. I sincerely think that training in the PI was the worst thing he could have chosen to do, but we wont know until it happens

I think this news gave alot of cotto's fans and pachaters a wet dream for today.

Not in a million years I would have thought of this reply. Are you speaking from experience then?

Yay. Rumors FTW! By the 3rd page of the Pacland thread they agree that the statement is just as credible as the rumor that started it. Plus, the fight is still a month away.

You guys sometimes just make such a ******s comments. How in da world just because somebody gets kd in a sparring round means that u r no good, even when u r sparring wit guys twice bigger than u. That means, if this is true that they r pushing him 2 da limits. That there r not just having parties and jogging around. When **** like this happens they just stop everything and get the tapes and look 2 avoid this to happend again. Is call learning. He is not f^kin Superman guys he learning, practicing and getting better. We don't even know if dat is true. I hope so, so he can start respecting a big dude's power and do a real smart fight. Yep I'm dreaming 4 a classic....
