Real History: How Serious is Pacquiao’s Quest for Seven?

Steward

If Manny Steward says Cotto is going to win, and he did, then Cotto will win. Im not sure who will, but i can see that Cotto is alot bigger and a natural welterwieght. Cotto has fought there his whole career and Pac well he started as a flywieght. He really has no buisness fighting Cotto, he can't beat all the welters, i really can't see him beating Mosely, he sould be fighting at Junior welterwieght and no higher in my opinion, but if he beats Cotto then my opinion doesn't matter, but Pacquiao has been doing interviews,signing autographs, ect... and all that little extra stuff he's doing might not give him the best chance to win, he doesn't have his nose in the dirt like he should, he gets it powdered to be on TV.

If Miguel Cotto weights 147 in the weight in, will Pacquiao receive more respect?

this post has alot of substance .....I agree BTW!!

I really wanted this fight to be at 147, I think even if Cotto weighed 147 at the day of weigh-in he would still fight Cotto.
I got to admire Pacquiao's courage, he asked for this fight, catchweight or not he gets my respect, some boxers ducked Cotto.

I liked both Cotto and Pacquiao, they both faced what other boxers tried to duck just to give boxing fans something to be excited about.

This would be a one in a million amazing feat if Pacquaio accomplishes this, and I know he's gonna give it all to do this. He's taking this fight more serious than any other he's had in his illustrious career. This this fight hold so much weight that if he wins it will catapult his career to the very upper echelon of the all-time boxing history.

Yea i agree, He could be considered as a GOAT.

Few give Cotto credit for what he did, and in case Manny defeats Cotto he will get less credit than he deserves to... If he succeeds, he is among 20 or even 15 best fighters of all times...

That's a good article and as was noted; Pacman is no Armstrong. To even compare a catch weight chump to the real deal is laughable. If Pacman wins this catch weight bout, its a win marked with an asterisk*

pac is a sham. if he beats cotto, it will be because the latter is a shot fighter.

i dont think muany people will discredit pac if he wins.......the flyweight title he won i do dismiss.....he won by a lucky shot, defended once against a bum, failed to make weight in his second defence and got ko'ed then moved up divisions, he was massive for flyweight, some of his opponents looked like children in there with him.........the fact that he has never really made an impact in any division hurts too.....but he can make a career at 140 from now on, so that could change

yeah atleast he is fighting boxers who are bigger than he is..asterisk or not he had the balls to fight the best....unlike "other boxers" who fights a fighter 2 div below him..

like the boy in my avatar...lol
