Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao Official Discussion Thread

I definitely want to see Pacquiao go head-to-head with Mayweather

Cotto looked fucked up after. Was he really dominated that bad?

 

[Ace Bandage]

Yes, he was definitely dominated that badly. Pacquiao landed twice as many punches as Cotto and probably three times as many power punches. Hell, he connected on 43% of his punches thrown compared to just 23% by Cotto. This fight was never in doubt after the third round.

 

[yes yes yes]

I definitely want to see Pacquiao go head-to-head with Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao vs Mayweather would be an interesting fight.

 

[dadolfo]

it got so bad that they escorted Cotto's family out. His wife couldn't take it.

Can't wait to see that.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Manny will pummel Floyd! :hammer:

I would respectfully disagree. :hatsoff: My money is on Money in that bout.

That's the fun of this match-up - it's a classic hero/heel story with lots of soap opera elements and then there's the mystery of the match-up itself.

Lots of print today about how this fight might not be easy to make with Floyd's camp insisting that they should get a high percentage and Manny's camp insisting that it needs to be 50/50

 

[feller469]

it better be 50/50

Manny Pac - I think he'll win.

 

[Sicario]

I would respectfully disagree. :hatsoff: My money is on Money in that bout.

No way dude! Floyd likes to run like a dog. He jabs and run, jabs and run. Manny can absorb anything in Floyd's arsenal. If they ever fight, Manny will win by unanimous decision.

 

[STDiva]

Mayweather is scared of Manny. Manny should take the fight, let Floyd have the money, and instantly become a legend when he boxes for the fight, and not for the cheque.

 

[assholebythedoor]

Manny will throw the fight quick for the underground money. People are just feeling sorry for him, Hes not a good fighter, Hes a fighter...People want him to feed his country, so they let him win. But he would easilly throw the fight for a under the table pay.

From HBO's boxing page:

Last October, in a hilltop town 120 miles north of Manila, two former lightweight champions sparred. One, Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2), was preparing for the biggest fight of his life. The other, Jose Luis Castillo (60-9-1), was enduring the punishment of such preparation. In comparing his current sparring partner against a former opponent who is vying with the Filipino for the pound-for-pound kingship, Castillo, 35, said coolly, "Pacquiao punches much faster and harder than Mayweather."
