Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao: Pre-SuperFight Report Card

[znarfv_y2k8]

I can't believe that their trying to put Cotto and Manny's power
on the same level? This Pac mania thing is getting a lil too much.
Now looking at the guys both of them fought in title fights the
names on Cotto's resume seem to look more impressive and were
bigger threats than Manny's with exception to Erik Morales, Barrera
and JMM. I'm not a Cotto fan and I still can't believe how so many
people are riding Manny? Manny hasn't even proved himself against
a guy on the same caliber and primed at WW and people are already
cosigning him. Manny is a good fighter but don't count Cotto out
because in actuality Cotto has endured some tougher, will testing
fights than Manny. I think this fight will show how Manny really does
against someone with a pulse because he showed it the last time
against JMM and he barely sc****d by him twice. Cotto may be
a lot of things but one thing I know is that he's strong and it takes
a lot to put him out. If Cotto boxes smart and patient he beats Pac
easy but if he is careless Pac creams him, it's as simple as that.

Cotto's power may be at A level...But to say Cotto's resume more impressive than Manny, I believe it's not...Barrera, Morales, Marquez & Hatton alone over powered the toughness of oppositions Cotto has faced w/ the exception of Mosely...How many times did Pacquiao faced Morales(3x), Marquez(2x) & Barrera(2x)? These 3 are great champions w/ a hall of fame career...

Lmfaooo!! This Pre-Fight Card is a little bit too crazy, no way in hell they would both have the same power OR Pac be on the same Level. This is Crazy

As noted, Pacquiao at Welter isn't entirely proven power. Cotto is a solid puncher there but not a killer KO guy.

This is the reason the experience should go to Cotto. This is uncharted territory for Pac.

I am not rooting for any of these two, but if we have to say who has a better resume, I think cotto has faced better opposition. To proove this, there is no way how Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Hatton, Diaz, or DLH would have beat mosley or clottey at 147. Marquez, Barrera, atc.. Have been one of the bests in their division, but not in 147.

You obviosly didn't read the previous one. It's even worse.

Manny has the speed and decent power but Cotto has the better
technical skills over all. Manny would have to be very defensive
or very aggressive against Cotto but fights I witnessed of him he
is neither. Pac waits for his fighter to chase hima round the ring
so he can bounce in and out throwing punches not really sitting
on his punches. Inorder for Pac to win he is going to have to
established his dominance in the early rounds to discourage and
frustrate Cotto because once Cotto gets going in his rhythm then
he is going to put pressure on Pac. I don't know man, thinking as
I am writing and revisiting some of Cotto's fights I noticed that
he is very resilient. I remember when Mosley hit him with a solid
power shot and Cotto didn't go nowhere and the look on Mosley
face was priceless. Cotto should take this.

Grustler , Cotto is NOT the same fighter he was before the Margo fight ! He has shown he was tentative in the POST Margo fights, Roach has based this fight on those facts, others like me believe the same, I would have been hard pressed to have chosen Pacmang over a Pre Margo Cotto. I won't call him damaged , I let yall do that , I will say with some pain, cause I like Cotto , that he QUIT ! Boxing is a mean business, those that Quit are in a world of hurt. Once you QUIT YOU WILL QUIT AGAIN. This may not be gamebulldawgs but the principles are the SAME !! I have watched it come true over and over and over the past 40 years.

You as others continually speak in the person that you dismiss the Margo fight and what it did to Cotto.

If I am wrong then I will gladly come on and say "I was WRONG",

Whoooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo gonna be a hot time in the old town TONITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

READY FREDDIE , Lets DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT !!!!!
