Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Thurman Reminds Me of The Miguel Cotto Fight

[Truth Serum]

EXACTLY! no one can tell me Pacquiao wasn't juiced to the Gills when he fought Cotto. That's one fight I'm sure he was on some good good. Miguel Cotto busted his ear drum with a left hook and he walked right through it smh.

They dont bother testing Manny. He has the natural ability to flush PEDs without TUEs... keeps testing positive for excellence!

But imagine if Manny didnt do PEDs. He'd be the best fighter ever and from what you are saying, you will strongly agree!

brah! but you aint 30 anymore tho!

Funny he said this, because to me that win has an asterisk beside it. Who remembers the event leading up to that fight should know Cotto was stiffed by Top Rank.

Cotto came off a defeat or what should have been called a defeat at the hands of Joshua Clottey. He suffered a huge gash over his eye, and begged Arum time so it could heal properly and get a trainer before the Manny fight , and Arum ignored the man's plea and threw him in the fight.

Cotto trained himself and had his fat friend hold the pads. Not to mention the 145 catch weight he struggled to make. It was brutal what Arum did to him. I think it was after that he realized that Arum is no good.

Without VADA, we really might see a repeat of the Cotto fight.

Even without VADA, Manny isn't turning the clock back 10 years.

No way should Thurman lose to a 40 year old Pacquiao unless he is shot.

I always felt that the 145 lb catchweight killed Cotto more than anything else but Pac did walk through everything that night!

Arum did. He came off bad fight with Clottey asked for time so he could find a coach and heal the gash over his eye properly and Arum denied him. He had to trained himself for Manny's at times used his fat friend to hold the pads. It was disaster in the making or an incredible story. Unfortunately, it ended disastrously.

Cotto was 146 for his previous fight...A pound got Cotto destroyed or the fact he couldn't handle the rhythm of punches in front of him. With the amount of a beating he took no way does he last as long as he did if he had been drained.

Do you have proof that he was juiced up? Common you still believe in fantasy. What I know, mayweather was the one juicing up. They have proof but was hidden from the public.

Mayweather used IV's to flush PEDs.

No it was the rehydration clause that said Cotto couldn't weigh more than 147 on fight night. Against Clottey he was well over 150 on fight night

Miguel Cotto would've beaten Thurman.

Again fam, Cotto is a professional. He didn't need the Pacquaio fight at that point, he was earning good money. He could've taken an easier fight if that was an issue, it wasn't. He only used that as a reason way down the road when he saw others were using him to defend him getting his azz whooped. Rehydration or not Cotto was getting fkd up that night and I am a NY'r surrounded by Rican friends who are die hards and I put money on him. Fourth round on you knew he was in way over his head that night.
