  • This guy is just looking for excuses for when his fighter get KO. Miguel is a body puncher, some low blows may be going on when the opponent is crouching a lot. Zab try to take away his body punches by pretending to have been hit hard low. The way i see it is that Rouch is just taking so that the referee do what he want.

      Cotto is a fighter who doesnt use excuses, ever thought of that. When Marg got caught with the plaster Cotto always insisted Marg won fair and square. In his head Cotto knows he cheated, so just because Cotto said that the weight wont affect him, hes fighting for the biggest paycheck of his life of career, he knows going down was the only way he could fight Manny, and unlike Roach Miguel doesnt use excuses.
      It's straight from Cotto's mouth. If he indeed will have trouble cutting weight--who's to blame? Pacquiao? I don't think so. If he thinks he can make the weight and still take on Pacquiao effecitvely, who are we to judge his decision? When Cotto was draining himself to 140 as JWW--he was still doing it on his own accord. No-one was forcing it on him. He has weighed 146 on several occassions as a WW, I don't think it's too much to ask for 1lb more. Bhop/Oscar Delahoya fight - there was a 2lb difference; the same difference was seen in the Whitaker/Chavez fight.

        • That over rated trainer Roach is at it again. He is worried now, because he knows Cotto is a excellent body puncher and i gurarantee you that Manny can't take his bodyshots. Cotto should ask that they both be tested for steroids. That will shut Freddie Roach up quickly believe me. hahaha

Of course that doesn't mean he can beat Cotto, but you can't say that performance was completely irrelevant. It proved that he's a legitimate elite Junior Welterweight - which was in doubt before that fight. And it proved that he hadn't lost any of his speed or power as a result of moving up to Junior Welterweight. And one weight class isn't a huge jump. It's not even a proper weight class (as in the original eight). It's not like Armstrong weighing 133lb when he won the Welterweight title. It's only a jump from Junior Welterweight to Welterweight. And it's not even that, because it's at catchweight..
            As a Pacquiao fan, the manner in which Pacquiao took out Hatton/Oscar-Delahoya is largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Pacquiao will be facing an opponent who will have the advantages of size, strength, and largely most of his skills intact--that's something Pacquiao has not faced with Oscar Delahoya and Hatton.


            Rubbish. He was taken to the depths by Torres. He also struggled for the first half of the Judah fight. And he'll be facing a style he's never faced before.
            Those were his weight drained days. I consider his WW state the true form in chin, stamina, and strength.

            Mosley is very fast and very powerful, but doesn't have Pacquiao's lateral movement or footwork. And he wasn't at his best the night he fought Cotto, in the opinion of most people. And Judah is simply not in Pacquiao's class.
            But Mosley has hand speed and Judah has good overall footwork. What did Cotto do? He used constant pressure and timing to nuetralize all of that.

                  he was handicapped since the 3rd round. that's 75% of the fight

                  his options were to even the handicaps, to win a technical decision, or to lose

                  i don't know if he did it on purpose, but clottey definitely deserved more than a tackle/slip

                    You're missing the point. He's proved that he's an elite Jnr Welterweight and he's only moving up one minor weight class.

                    Nobody knows whether he's the same fighter since the Margarito loss.

                    Pacquiao's style is very different to either of them, and he's a lot better than Judah. Styles make fights.

                    Also, Pacquiao has the advantage of a better corner. In his last three fights he's had the perfect game plan for every fight, and has executed it perfectly; and his game plan has been different in every fight compared to the previous one. He's also improved a lot in the last two years.

                    That's not true of Cotto. His gameplan was completely wrong against Margarito. And his weaknesses (refusal to clinch, vulnerability to the uppercut) haven't noticeably improved in recent fights.
