    Did you love that Pacquiao rope-a-dope in round 4 against Cotto? What a CLASSIC...

    Jim Lampley and the fans screaming their lungs out. Loved that camera angle showing Miguel's wide back like a bull who have already pinned its matador. Manny took at least 2 or 3 huge left hook to the ribs there. Though it pains me as a PACfan seeing him get hit like that, it still makes me smile witnessing an all time great stuff right there. Thoughts?

    I couldn't believe Manny could stand there and willingly get pounded on by Cotto and be absolutely fine.

      rope-a-dope indeed. I was scared at first, but then noticed how Cotto tried to let Manny back into the middle of the ring for a second, but manny backed into teh ropes and taunted Cotto to hit him.


      After he saw Cotto tire out, he darted out and started throwing uppercuts similar to Margarito and got the KD. We all learned Manny can fight any fight.

          Manny showed everyone he is just as macho as any fighter in the game by pulling that stunt. He actually taunted cotto and invited him to throw his best shots. Crazy bastard

            That wasn't a rope a dope, that was just him leaning on the ropes taking punches. If you think thats what a rope a dope is...thats funny.

              Pacquiao got hurt by Cotto's left hook and was taking a breather.

                Doubt that. PAC was looking for a counter right hook and he did find it. Turned Cotto to the ropes and Miguel fought forward to receive that huge uppercut.

                    So you think the title would have been better if it was: Did you love that Pacquiao did the leaning on the ropes taking punches in round 4 against Cotto? What a CLASSIC...


                    Would that be too long?
