Was it a mistake by Pacquiao to let Cotto tee off on him?

    This is ******. Everyone at one point or another lets a fighter do that. It's psychological warfare in there. It's what Pacquiaos doing NOW that makes him suspect.

        While im sure he was hoping to get more praises on how great he is from the adoring public, it actually gave people more reason to think he was on steroids.

        Im thinking mayweather might not have even asked for these extra drug test if he just boxed cotto.

        WHATCHA THINK?
        That was sheer mental strength. Pacquiao did what he had to do in order to win. He had a point to prove, and half the battle was mental. Once the mental battle was won, the rest of the fight was easier.

          That's nonsense. So Pac is suppose to get his ass kicked now to prove that he's not on steroids.

          It's not like every single punch was getting through anyways. And the punches that did actually caused some damage to Manny's face.

              Yes it is... you can not compare something that could be like a cast or cement to something like PED's...

                if there was insider information that Dom claims, it would have surfaced by now...especially after the fight fell thru

                      Man. This thread started off well. Every PAC/PBF thread goes straight to steroids/xylocaine. Any way, I was worried at first when I saw Pac go to the ropes, esp. because it seemed like Cotto could handle Pacs speed at first and was landing. When I saw him tighten up his guard and lean into the ropes I felt better. Like someone said, he's been doing the exact same thing in sparring for years.
