    To all the pacquiao fans

    Just kinda want to get your thoughts.

    Did Cotto do better or worse than you thought he would? Also, do you think his corner let him down in terms of gameplanning.

    He performed the way I expected him to...I predicted that Manny is gonna overwhelm him w/ speed and that's what happened...I know a lot of people thought it's gonna be closer though...Cotto's corner made some bad decisions...I hope they learned something from this fight...

      Cotto was exactly what I thought he would be, but Pac just broke him. I was shocked to watch Miguel Cotto running from Manny Pacquiao.

        Cotto did better than I expected.

        My prediction was tko 6 for Pac.

        Cooincidentally...round 6 is when Pac really started to own Cotto, but meh.

        I gave Cotto rounds 1 and 5.

        And Cotto's corner was nonexistant to me. Joe Santiago is too green to be handling such a big name fighter.

          first couple o' rounds pretty impressive..
          what happened after , i dont understand.

          that should've been the corners obligation..

            I gained alot of respect for pacquiao, he was the better fighter.

            Santiago should have made Cotto quit trying to impose his will on pacquiao, a faster puncher. Cotto was doing pretty well when he was boxing, as opposed to brawling.

            Another thing i noticed, and i dont know if it had any bearing, was that every time during a corner break, Cotto would be their huffing and puffing. Is it just me, or dont trainers usually make their fighters take a couple deep breaths.

              cotto did well. however, his spirit broke after being KD'd twice. Wrong choice for trainer, though. That was his main weakness.

                Hell naw, i thought that Cotto did a lot better than what people give him credit for. Obviously he stopped fighting after the 6th or something, but he did catch Paco wit some *****.

                I think when Cotto realized he was getting whooped on, he started his retreat.

                Another thing, Paco actually let Cotto hit him at times. Ya kno, "test Cotto's power," but Paco remained solid. I think that also has something to say about PacMan.

                I highly doubt that Mayweather wants to fight his guy. In terms of business, Paco's obviously a bigger draw, therefore deserves the bigger percentage.

                You think Floyd will actually let them do that willingly because he has such a strong desire to fight for nothing?
