Pacquiao: "We Are Ready For Whatever Cotto Brings"

[kadyo's]

I wonder why nobody has brought up the question of maybe Pacman overtraining a little and peaking too soon.

over training? how's that?

[Stickman]

Too much, too hard, too fast, can cause a fighter to reach his peak before the fight happens, and it's damned tough to maintain that peak for more than a few days.

Not saying that is the case, just a possibility.

Manny may have out boxed Oscar and totally humiliated him but that
doesn't take away from the fact that Oscar was weight drained. Of
Course he's going to say he is in the best shape of his life and fight
unhealthy because he is greedy De La Hoya. How can a lil ass guy
like Manny out weight him on fight night? Come on man!

then give credit to where it is due bro...manny did his job de la hoya didnt...pac beat ODLH because ODLH has a different mindset...its not pacs fault...but u have to admit that he looked sensational in that fight....there should be no excuses...

Manny has been training like since he trained with freddie roach. When cotto started training more than one month ahead of pacquiao, manny said, "good, so that during fight time he won't be able to punch"

Manny is implying that cotto may overtain, he is very much aware of the burn out thing that's why he started training less than two months before the fight. As for the hard training that he's having right now, he's used to that. I think he's still young enough to withstand that kind of punishment without being burned out.

Manny looked Flawless in that fight and in the Hatton one
as well as the Diaz one. Manny is a very good boxer and
I can't take that away from him or deny it. I am just speaking
on what it is and eventhough Manny spanked Oscar, Oscar
still was drained and that's the truth.

You're talking during post fight are you, when Pac exposes ODLH from almost everything except his height??

What I meant by that that they were banking on Manny being the smaller guy on all demensions as an advantage. It didn't turn out that way, underestemating and saying that he is the smaller man is ignorant to do.

[TOBYLEE1]

dude at the stipulated weight of 147 u didnt know that oscar would shave weight for that fight?? the fight was 99% on dela hoya's term....pac would have to climb at least 10 pounds for that fight...on the 24/7 he said that he was feeling good and at the best shape of his life...if he killed himself to make weight why would he go about the fight?? it doesnt make sense!...why would u fight unhealthy?? he is oscar dela hoya for crying out loud he can do as much as he pleases that time...why go on with the fight and humiliate urself if u feel unhealthy?? would u do it???? and now the excuses is because he was weight drained?? dude he was outboxed clearly...he looked old and shot because pac made him look exactly like that...and u know it..pac has the right game plan and ODLH has the wrong thinking that he has all the advantages even at 147....

IMO I think ODLH fell into Freddie's mind game and wanted to prove him that he was gonna beat Pac. ODLH may have thought that his size advantage and experience was enough to just run over Manny. He had no plan B, it was ODLH that got ran over

roach is a master tactician...he plays mind games very well..that includes his so called prediction about cotto goin down on round 1...its all about game plan...like what cotto stans say...its a WAR!....and war is all about tactics...yep that includes mind games...

so chill out cotto fans...its just freddie being freddie the game master...

For ODLH Freddie had a little more inside info since he trained him. He said that ODLH could pull the trigger any more and that Calderon boxed him silly. Also he observe him during training, so he really got under ODLH skin. I always say let your fists do the talking, words don't mean anything once you are in that ring
