    "with no respect to Cotto's punching power!!!"

    This was said throughout the Pac-Cotto fight. I just re-watched the fight and I still cant figure out how this little guy took all those flush shots from Cotto and was never hurt! I've always liked manny, but I'm beginning to doubt if he's clean or not. Look he got ko'd twice before. I KNOW that he's a lot better now, but can you really teach pain tolerance? It seems like he can take a punch from Tyson these days. I'm not a hater, I just cant figure this out. Anyone care to explin?

      he got knocked out when he was a little dehydrated kid coming up in the game. Do not use that example for the sake of your argument. take punches from tyson? lmao you are the only one on something as far as i am concerned.

          Bold is where your error in thinking is. Like ****m Richardson said, Pacquiao is NOT a little man anymore.

          Ricky Hatton, Cotto, Diaz and Oscar made the exact same mistake.

              For the 100th time. Roids do not increase the solidness of your chin. Getting stunned and KOed is based on your brain moving around inside of your head, and PEDs do not change the wiring of your brain. Ask Fernando Vargas.

                Not trying to hate but I still dont think it was nearly as special as people make it out to be. 1st off Cotto jabbed for the 1st round and was totally on his bike for like the last 6 rounds. That means there was only like 5 rounds of real punching that Pac was taking and even in those 5 rounds Pac was landing a ton and dropped Cotto twice so it wasnt like constant big punching. However, when he did punch, the reason why Pac took it so easily is because they were all wide.

                I still dont get how no one saw this. It looked like an amature. They were all looping shots. Thats how he busted Pac's ear. All Pac did was keep his guard high and to the side of his head. I dont even believe that you can get consistent mad power like that. Thats why I disagree with people who think that Floyd has no chance of stopping him because of what they saw from Cotto. Cotto may punch harder but Floyd is going to throw all pin point punches right down the pipe and they will be for 12 rounds, not 5 like Cotto.

                The one or 2 times Cotto did come down the pipe he hurt Pac, like when he hit him with that uppercut. I would like to see Cotto throwing all straight punches when Pac was on the ropes. He didnt. He threw all wide shots that are so easy to block and take the steam from. Even if they land on occasion, its not going to hurt like it would in your face, mouth, chin, or nose

                  I'm not a Pacquiao fan at all but even I know that he has a great chin.

                    Inject yourself with mass steroids then cross the street and get hit by a car.

                    Lemme know if you feel any pain.

                    On a serious note, Cotto busted up Pac's ear man. He didn't exactly walk out of the fight scratch free.
