    Wow. Just wow. I mean everyone was saying that PAC should never brawl with Cotto but look what happened. He did and he was able to take those punches and give off a bombs as well. I just want to say that Cotto is probably one of the best body punchers in the WW division but damn!

    Manny was at one point just standing and absorbing the blows he is given. Shawn Porter I think gave Pac a real good workout.

    I don't know if Manny can keep doing that with his body. He had to eat A LOT just to keep the muscle on--I'm not sure he should do that often. He should go back down to 140.

      Yeah. He surely was having a hard time as reference to him just standing at some point and not being able to move because of the blows. But he emerged victorious and proved that he is not as little as everyone make of him.

      He can take WW punches and deliver MW punches. Very few people can do that to Cotto I believe.

        I'm not saying he shouldn't fight WWs but he should think about going down to his more natural weight. He kind of look crazy in the beginning with all the movement he was doing--he looked much more stable in the second part of the match.

          wow i was rooting for Cotto and even though Cotto injured his left shoulder in the 8th round, Pacquiao clearly won this. Pacquiao is an All Time Great. Not sure where exactly to rank him, but he is definately Top 75. I think he will beat Mayweather. I hope he beats Mayweather. For a defensive fighter, Mayweather talks too much and he needs to be shut up....

              Yeah my gawd. Those punches were the ones who hurted so many boxers.
              I mean come on man! They were claiming that Cotto has one of the best body punches in the league yet Pac looks as if he wasn't that wobbled over it.

              PROPS TO HIS HEART, CHIN, AND HIS CONDITIONING TRAINER!!

                How was Pacquiao just eating Cotto's punches?

                Crazy.
