Now all of a sudden Bradley sucks and Cotto is reborn? LOL.

[edgarg]

This hypocrisy is hillarious!

What happened to the days of "why doesnt Pac face a young black hungry lion in his prime like Bradley and stop picking on old, shot, weight drained fighters"? Now all of a sudden since this fight is all but signed, what we hear is "Bradley sucks and Pac is going to steamroll him" "Who has Bradley beat" "Why is Pac fighting a 140lber" Etc..

I personally believe that although Bradley is an excellent fighter, he comes in with wild winging punches and its going to cost him in this fight. Bradley will have his moments, but Pac will catch him on the way in and KO him.

Now on to Miguel Cotto.

When Cotto/Pacquiao was signed, the haters came out in abundance and spoke about how Pac was fighting a guy who's shot, just got beaten down with Plaster, and is a shell of his former self. Not to mention that although Cotto at the time was a WW fighter and in his previous bout against Clottey came in on weigh in day just 1lb heavier than he did for Pac, they accused Pac of SEVERELY weight draining Cotto in order to gain an advantage. Lets also not forget that during the post fight interview when asked if the weight effected him in anyway, Cotto replied with "no I felt good. The problem wasnt the weight, it was Pacquiao's speed. I didnt know where the punches were coming from".

Fast forward 2.5yrs and now Cotto is scheduled to fight Mayweather. Listening to the diehard Floydboyz is hillarious. All of a sudden we hear how Cotto miraculously went from being shot to damn near prime again! I've heard how he is practically reborn and a new fighter under his new coach. While I agree that Cotto does indeed look like he's back on the right track, lets take a look at who he's fought since getting pummeled by Pac. The one-legged *** Yuri Foreman and even in that fight Yuri was giving Cotto fits up until he blew out his knee. Shot to **** Mayorga. One-eyed Willy Margarito. I give Cotto props for redeeming himself against Marg, but its hard to give too much credit for the other 2.

The truth is Floyd needed a marketable opponent for May 5th and Cotto fit the bill. Fighting at 154 makes it look good on paper but we all know that no matter what the weight, Cotto will be too slow for Floyd. I like Cotto and will always be a fan, but he has about a 10% chance of winning this fight. So lets stop making this more than what it is. It will be entertaining but Cotto will get outclassed over 12rnds. I hope I'm wrong.


Thoughts?

Would Foreman still be one-legged if he hadn't been a ***?? And to be factual and unprejuiced, Cotto was winning every round.

*****s I tell you.

this right here

Both fanbases are as bad as each other.

The Pacquaio fans spend 3 years ridiculing Mayweather fans for calling Hatton and Oscar his "Leftover's" then do the same thing when Mayweather fights Cotto.

The Mayweather fans discredit Pac's win over Cotto in 2009 yet praise him when Mayweather fights him 3 years later.

Both fan bases need to **** off.

[_original_]

I don't see how any real boxing fan can complain about Pacquiao-Bradley cause it's a great fight. Floyd-Cotto is pretty good too, but a little too late.

lol.................

The hypocrisy is astounding. Lets rewind to 07, "Cotto doesn't deserve a shot at Floyd, hes just not good enough and isn't a draw".

Suddenly, Cotto is a beast after getting KOd not once, but twice.


Then we have Timothy Bradley. "Mannys ducking Bradley! He needs to fight a young, fast, undefeated african american fighter, hes ducking Bradley dammit!"


Now, "I can't believe Pac is fighting Bradley, what a mismatch".

The difference is, Mayweather and his fans actually mean it, while Mannys fans are mocking them by saying it showing them how ****** the concept really is.

No fan base has bought into the "leftovers" concept more than Floyds.

[Vasyl’s dad]

its a given Cotto is shot but that doesnt change the fact that Bradley hasn't done ***** at WW and hasn't been relevant in his own division since 2009.


fun fact this is the 4th straight non welterweight Manny is fighting [Mosley fought at 154 before dropping to 147 for a Manny fight]

Were you saying that when Floyd fought Hatton, Marquez and Ortiz?

The fact of the matter is both are hypocrites and I imagine the vast majority of their fan bases are children.

Exactly my point!
