Roach: "Manny Pacquiao is Knocking Miguel Cotto Out"

[Phatfarm1980]

I feel cotto is perhaps a little bit past his best. But, cotto at 90% would beat most fighters. Also, this will be mannys first real test at the higher weight. This is not a drained de la hoya or a clue-less ricky hatton. This is a awesome fighting machine - Miguel Cotto. Mannys chin hasn't really been tested at the higher weight yet, but without a doubt cotto will test it. If manny knocks cotto out, he's going down as possibly the greatest ever.

It's got fight of the year written all over it!

So don't watch it, idiot. No one wants your worthless opinion anyway. It seems as if almost everyone wants to see this fight except you.

You say Cotto will lose based on his last 3 performances... Hmmm Ok. That would be his fight against Margarito where he looked AWESOME until later in the fight (this fight is also controversial because Marg may have cheated). Yea, he lost so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that he didn't look good. His next fight was with Michael Jennings which was a 1 sided attack until a 5th round stoppage. Then, Cotto's most recent fight, against Joshua Clottey was a hard-fought battle with Cotto dropping Clottey in the first rd (first time he was ever dropped I think, too) and Cotto then sustained a terrible cut over his eye, but STILL managed to fight through and win the S/D. I might add that he is a top 5 WW, a big one at that. And no fighter has ever really looked good against Clottey.

Pacquiao's last 3: A brutal KO of the 1 dimensional, nowhere-near-as-versital Ricky Hatton. I don't take anything away from that fight, Pac destroyed him. But Cotto is a much better boxer than Hatton, and if you don't think so then I believe you need to get your eyes checked.
De La Hoya: If you think he wasn't weight drained, and maybe age-drained then there is something wrong with you or you just don't know anything about boxing and cutting-weight. I think just about any of the top 15 WW's would have beat DLH that night. Still, pretty impressive.
Diaz: Really? Do I even need to write anything about him? I'd say he's around the same level as Michael Jennings. So those two can cancel each other out.

Based on those last 3 fights of both fighters, it would appear Cotto has had the more difficult ones. Cotto will be bigger on fight night, and is more skilled than any of the previous boxers Pac has fought around the JWW-WW range. So to say Pac is going to walk through him is absolutely ridiculous. To say Cotto will walk through Pac is ridiculous as well. This fight will be tough for both of them but neither can really be called the heavy favorite here.

Boxingfan76: Your post was terrible and your writing is awful. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

look cottotard pac is koing cotto, cotto has a ****ty right hand which is pacs kryptonite,cotto is a left hander that fights conventional has no real power in his right hand just like oscar and hatton ,they both were lefties fighting conventional.cotto dont have it cotto looked slow against clottey and was a gift win by most accounts, its true cottos faced better opponents and im rooting for cotto not pacyow , but cotto is on the decline clearly, this is why pac chose him instead of the right handed assasins in jmm,floyd ,and mosley you cant see that then lord have mercy on your moronic soul.mosley would embarras pacyow cotto wont its just the way it is.

sorry cotto fans cotto is shotto its too obvious,to see all the pinoys are laughing at you easy pickins for their overhyped champ, as for me i wanted to see pac vs jmm or mosley or floyd especially mosley, i know mosley woulda kod pacya into retirement. btw i hope to be totally wrong and ill be pulling for cotto all the way.

I know what kind of game you're trying to play, you're trying to discredit all of Pacman's opponents and make him look like he's cherry-picking, so that you can say to all that "I told you so" game. Just play the love game for once like what Lady Gaga and stop the Pacman hate, it's getting to old and lame already dude...

[paylapz83]

im sorry mosley vs pac would sell more than pac vs cotto, cottos an east coast fighter, the reason team pac dont want mosley is beacause mosley would crush pacyow for sure 38 and all, any one like mosley or jmm or even floyd that has an excellent chance of beating pac will be ducked and shunned by pac and his babysitters.cotto bareley outpointed mosley, margarito destroyed cotto mosley destroyed the guy that destroyed cotto , mosley the man at welter not cotto its a farce, the pinoys must be so happy ,their guy will get credit for another hand picked vulnerable fighter, cotto pre-margarito would destroy pacya that i will admit ,not this version.mosley is much better than cotto rt now without question.

yes maybe but as what youve heard on roach cotto is still the man cuz he beats mosely and these match up is in thier prime so both guys couldnt make any excuse on what ever the outcome....and about you said "ducked"point that word to floyd cuz his really the man that you try to state bout that word for ducking pac mosely cotto and other legit ww....

[boxingfan76]

the only encouraging thing i see for cotto here is hes never lost to a fighter pacyows size ever in fact hes destroyed every fighter pacs size so far.judah,quintana,corley,and many others

yes floyd is the king ducker,but at welterweight mosley is the man rt now not cotto.

thanks, i was hoping this fight would fall through when shane and even floyd called out pac last week, im not a floyd fan but its ridiculous the ducking and handpicking ive never ever seen a pnd for pnd this protected.

nowadays in order to be pound for pound king you have to beat fighters that are already losing like oscar lost 3 of his last 6 fights. or lose a tune up fight like morales..or knock out a fighter that gets K.O.ed by mayweather who is not even a power puncher and that is how you become pound for pound!!

im not a hater and i am not racist im a boxing fan!! i am also not interested in watching chavez jr. fight untill he steps up and fights a name fighter!!

[streetthrowback]

DId you read the post? His Power is only accumulated over rounds. Pacquiao will have to sit in front and not throw anything back. Paulie is a slick fast {feather hitter no quiter} puncher. went 12 rounds with BIG BAD COtto. Cotto won against a guy who couldnt hurt him big deal. He couldnt get Paulie out off there.
Pacquiao is 10times better than Paulie Faster Hits WAY HARDER {with KO Power} No way he stops Pacquiao. Pacquiao will KO Cotto.

cotto has no power, what are you dumm, he broke pual's jaw, come on, mosley would tell you he has power so just stop talking bs, people like you shouldnt be able to post
