    Valero????? I still can't believe that...to prepare Cotto for what...a punching bag that will hit you back?


    You obviously haven't seen Valero's sparring videos, he's a totally different animal. He made Erik Morales and Urbano Antillon look like amateurs. I don't know about his sparring session about Oscar were he gave Oscar a shiner, it's probably true because no one's denying it from Oscar's camp.

    Valero's is like a Dr. Jekyell and Mr. Hyde kinda boxer, two totally different personalities and I blame it on his managers and handlers, who dangled some $$$ on him to get a 1st rd KO early in his career, apparently he can't seem to shrug that habit off...

      Don't get me wrong--Pacquiao has faster hand speed than Miguel but not by a wide margin at 147. It wont' be a factor in the fight
      .

      However, Pacquiao's quick head movement and foot speed will be his greatest asset in the fight.
      Umm....ok.

        I'm only talking about what I am seeing with my own eyes....Cotto has the strength adavantage no if,ands or buts about it.....but if that power doesn't do anything for him in the early part of the fight...enough to make Manny change his gameplan....I don't see Cotto winning. **** on Pacquiao all you want.....talk **** about his fan's (real fans...not Tards) all you want...in the end...if he losses...he'll still have this fan in his corner to root him on after this loss.
