Compare the oscar who fought May with the one who fought Mosley and there is a huge difference. It has nothing to do with weight, but with skill.

Sure Manny didn't fight the best Oscar, but that was an impressive win. Manny outboxed Oscar, and I see the same happening with a prime Oscar. Oscar couldn't fu** with Mannys speed.

Nevertheless though neither guy fought a prime Oscar, but still Manny's win was more impressive in my opinion.

If you see, I stated it was a good win for Manny. However, the Oscar Floyd fought was a hell of alot better than the one Manny fought.

Sure Manny was more impressive because he was fighting a shell.

Have u ever been in a ring or even in a fist fight in your life? A man can be hit multiple times and not be hurt! Odh's problem was not taking the punches it was taking punches and not being able to return any! He quit because to continue to fight was pointless! He could have been in that ring for four more rounds but he would have never landed anything of meaning!

Then you walk thru the punches...."stalk"..."walk Manny down"....whatever you want to call it...if the punches dont' hurt...and I don't buy that....then you walk thru them to get to the puncher....like I use to do with my lil brother when we use to box...is that not what fans who are picking Cotto to win, are saying...."Cotto will eventually walk thru Manny's punches and land that left hook".....I don't buy that either....

no sir......actually dlh and cotto is one of my fav fighter....it only happens that they become opponent of my most fav fighter....im only defending him but not tolarate as what you do with mayweather.....my apologize for what ive said earlier......

If you notice, I NEVER say a bad thing about Manny. Manny is one of my favorite boxers. I just find myself in disbelief about how fanatical some people on here are. I defend Mayweather quite a bit on here because again people are sooo overdramatic against him. Childish really.

That's just it, Oscar could not do that! To stalk someone u eventually have to get to them! Oscar realized that no matter how hard he tried he couldn't catch manny, so he quit! Cotto is a whole different story! He's not past his prime no matter what people want to believe and he still has what it takes to time pac's speed and hurt him in exchanges! Cotto does not need a lucky left hook after taking shots and chasing PAC around the ring! He's a skilled guy with all the tools to win this fight!

i agree......cotto does have a real chance....


probably the biggest sign in this fight will be if he bleeds tho.....if cotto bleeds, its lights out.

Comparing the pacquiao training vids from the 24/7s. The version of pacman cotto is facing seems stronger, albeit a tad slower, than the one Dela Hoya faced last year. Plus, pacmans performance in the delahoya/pacquiao should have no bearing on cotto/pacquiao.

Cotto v. Pacquiao is 50/50. I want to see a both men to come of the canvas and KD the other. I would be disappointed if it does not end in a KO.
