    He's been bloodied up a bit though (granted not much) and I think if you look at Vitali quitting on his stool from a shoulder injury as opposed to him wanting to fight on vs Lewis with his eye totally messed up from repeated power shots then you can see how one's heart can be affected by each scenario. Roy Jones didn't quit when he got his first cut against Calzaghe either.

    I can understand where you are coming from with the air of invincibility thing, but then that would also apply to Pacquiao, who looked frustrated having to go after Cotto and Floyd is much more elusive.

      To me it depends when the cut is suffered. If the cut is inflicted early, then it effects the pace of the rest of the fight. If late, then the fighter can just try to "gut through it" and depend on the earlier rounds..

      Also PBF prides himself on having that unblemished face of his.. I think his vain self would be effected more by a large ugly gash of a cut than a broken hand.. lol

      But seriously, I really expect Pacquiao to have better footwork in this fight than he did against Cotto. They will train specifically for closing the distance with Floyd. Pac was taken surprise in the Cotto situation because he came to that fight to stand toe to toe practically.. He got it into his mind he wanted to beat Cotto at his own game. I just hope he doesn't try to do that with Floyd..
