    Manny has been through small wars, but generally never had to go through pure hell like Cotto. Then again, he generally dominates his opponent or nothing. So he hasn't had to. I can see where your going with this, but I honestly don't think it will be an all out slugest or war. Pac doesn't want to be taking crazy punches all night. He's gotta sing right after. I expect him to stay in the center to avoid Cotto's rope attack, and just strafe him similar to the David Diaz fight.

        At least you understood what I meant, it wasnt a knock on Pacquiao, it was giving him props that he hadnt been through what Cotto has.

            If you are indeed giving Pac props....I take back the negativity in this thread....the way you were responding made it seem otherwise.

            Torrecampo, Margarito, Clottey.....any other instances of adversity for Cotto?

                Marg doesn't count according to TS's criteria...he didn't overcome that adversity.

                      B4 everyone jumps on me i know cotto wasnt wealthy growin up or anything (give me some credit) but im sure there was always food on the table and a roof over his head!..not the case for the pacman! Im not pinoy or anything but i can appreciate that and find it amazing so i just dont get the hate! HOw could anyone with any soul possibly hate the pacman?? but i dont approve of his fans (who clearly could not give a **** about any other boxer) thinkin hes unbeatable god and GOAT already..SO i guess the moral of the story is "haters and nuthuggers Grow UP! " or gtfo boxingscene and go to their personal fanclub!
