"Speed Kills" IS Bull****...

[Chang Mo Kei]

Timing and precision is what kills....

I never agreed with this, simply because you can't time what you can't see coming. Also, it's harder to time fighters with an unorthodox, syncopated and unpredictable rhythm, which is exactly what Manny Pacquiao has and why Joe Calzaghe never lost.

This "timing kills speed" thing only appeared since Floyd Sr. said it on 24/7, and he can **** right off because he failed dreadfully along with Hatton to time Pacquiao like they said he would.

That's bull****. I've heard that way before Mayweather Sr. said it.. and It's a combination of timing speed and power that is deadly. "You can't time what you can't see" lol that's funny... not like they are up against the Flash. I've seen plenty of fights where the slower fighter was able to time the faster one and as a result came out with a win. Watch Cotto vs Mosley, perfect example.

Sam, I am just bringing another perspective on this way of thinking. I mean I hear "speed kills" all the time here. Which I believe isn't true. I mean if that was true Cotto would have lost to Mosley and Judah. He didn't he was able to overcome those two fighters, by timing them and with precision. Also believe me Cotto WILL see Pac's punches. That is another phrase that gets played out too much on here. I mean even though many of you think it Pac cannot throw supersonic punches that cannot be seen.

D, I understand what you're saying but I'm not convinced. You won't change my mind because I think Pacquiao is better than Cotto. No disrespect to Cotto though, he's great.

But Most people don't see Manny's punches coming. That's why they lost. Ask Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Marquez, pretty much anyone he's fought. They will all tell you the same thing -- Manny is brilliant at catching you off-guard and he's way too fast to deal with. Well, if they're being honest like Diaz (I love Dave's honesty), that's what they would say.

Mosley and Judah are not very similar to Pacquiao. Judah is a mental midget who crumbles after four rounds and throws mostly single punches. He is nowhere near the same league as Pacquiao. Some people thought Shane beat Cotto.

Just giving your ****...I understand your point! Foot work IS essential. Cotto also has this.

if cotto wins, you should live in makati for a year

It's not bull****, it's my opinion. If you don't agree, fair enough, but I'm sticking to it.

Again, some people thought Shane beat Cotto. See Pullcounter for further details.

Some people thought Marquez beat Pacquiao.....twice.

Do you believe Mosley beat Cotto? I mean Mosley admitted the younger warrior was too much for him that night!

I do respect your opinion on the speed kills thing though. Hey maybe you are right and Cotto will loose cause of Pac's speed.

Yep, and they are welcome to their opinions. I won't say "that's bull****", I just might not necessarily agree with them.

Pac is a marksman. Cotto has disadvantages, he's too big, too much target.
