    Pacquiao vs Cotto Thoughts

    Im starting to think this fight could be huge. IDK if it will be Arum type huge but I wouldnt be shocked to see it do really well. I thought the 1st episode of 24/7 was really boring. The 2nd was better but nothing special. I thought the 3rd one was really good though. Maybe its just the fight junkie coming out in me but I thought Pac looked crazy good in it and then when Cotto came out the car with the shades on and looking focused, I thought Cotto was the man again. Thats how Ive been every day lately. I see something about Cotto and I think he will be the old Cotto again and will be a monster. Then I see Pac and he looks unbeatable. I think the mainstream is starting to see that. Then I think alot of mainstream fans was just looking at this like another big Pac event but now they are hearing what people say who actually know boxing and they are hearing that alot of them are legitmatly picking Cotto so I think this will make everyone want to see it.

    Then I was just watching some old Cotto highlights and I was like, this cat is vicious. Power for days. I was thinking that he's going to breat Pac in half if that old Cotto shows up. Pac has no chance. Thats how great Cotto looked. Then the very next second I was rewatching the Pac-Oscar fight and I again felt that Pac looked unbeatable. Ofcourse I dont really mean unbeatable but he looked unbeatable. I always felt that people didnt give him enough credit for that win. Oscar was nothing. He was a drained dead man walking but your eyes dont lie. You can tell when someone was great and Pac was great. When I just rewatched the fight, I actually felt that Pac looked as "strong" in that fight then anyone at WW looks in a normal fight. I mean people keep acting like these guys are physicaly on a different level than him but he was coming with mad speed, legit WW power, doing it from a Southpaw stance, throws punches when you never expect it, and has confidence for days. After watching that I thought not only could he kill Cotto but that he would give Shane hell. Most think that Shane kills Pac but IDK if that is true after watching him.

    Again, I think people severly underestimate the Southpaw thing. I talk about it non stop on here and people act like it just is what it is and its not a big deal. Its a huge deal and 90% of guys arent prepared to do well against it. Then you have Pac who is doing it with mad speed, mad power, is now a legitmate great boxer under Roach's knowledge and again, he throws punches when you dont expect it. Its already bad just being a Southpaw because that can catch you off guard itself but then he doubles it by throwing punches when most guys wouldnt. Thats how he keeps catching these cats early. They arent prepared for it. This could be a Hagler-Hearns type war. I could see both guys getting it done but in the end, Pac is on his game way too much right now and I think he is way way way way way more stronger & physical at WW than people think. Thats exactly the same thing ****m Richardson says in all his interviews. People so underestimate his strength & power at the higher weights but its legit. Real legit. All I know is that so far he has clearly been the stronger & more powerful guy out of Diaz, Oscar, and Hatton. Cotto is on a different level but it wouldnt shock me to see it again. The sad thing is that I think both guys will really show up. I think someone has to lose and it sucks because that guy will be really good that night but he's just up against one of the best and someone has to lose
