QUOTE (The CEO @ Aug 28 2009, 03:14 PM)  It's all right here... "I hope that Manny and his crew wake up." - FightHype Article by Nick Sanchez Packy's makin' a movie and might have his camp in The Phillipines... Cotto will stop him in the 6th or 7th instead of the 8th now... What the fuck kind movie is Pac making? The movie about his life story already bombed in the Philippines, so what's up now? The sequel? Well, I guess technically Manny can't be blamed for that box-office dud, since no one in the Philippines can afford to go to the movies anyway. Big props to him though, still hanging out in the Philippines even after he got the money to leave. Most intelligent people would've ducked on out already, trading in the outhouse for the penthouse. Props, or something, for sticking it out in the shithouse and giving your countrymen something to root for. I would've checked out long before. Blind patriotism is a poor substitute for intelligence. |

I remember all the chatter a while back about the outcome of this fight. I could be wrong, but I remember there being very few Cotto supporters then. There was a bunch of "Cotto is shot" type talk. Seems now things have changed a bit. Anyone else notice a difference? I am no longer hearing "Cotto is shot".

QUOTE (Fitz @ Aug 30 2009, 01:51 PM) Yeah, haven't seen much of it lately. Shot is an extreme word and I wouldn't use that to describe Cotto, but I will say that he isn't as good since the Margarito fight, and it was very noticeable to me, especially in hand speed. Though he is still a good fighter, so not shot IMO but from what I have seen, he isn't as good and it was noticeable to me. I agree with all you say, i also think theres a reason why Roach and Pac have went with Cotto. They seem to be very good at pickin their fights recently. I think Roach sees a beatable fighter in Cotto and with that extra 2 pounds that Cotto cant have, I see a Pac SD. That being said, i like Cotto better than Pac and will be rooting for Pac to get his dial smashed in. |

I wasnt saying anyone in particular was flip flopping and I remember you as one supporting Cotto. I think CEO at one point listed how many people came out on the board and believed Cotto was going to win... it was maybe 5 people and I was in that camp as well. Maybe we can get a head count now? Cotto by brutal stoppage due to accumulation in the 10th. |

It seems to have gone away, but I'll still say it...Cotto is not the same fighter he was before that Margarito fight. He looked awful against Clottey, and I still think Clottey beat him. Cotto was on his bike for at least half the fight and laid on the ropes. Pacquiao is going to bring a ton of speed and power to that ring. Cotto won't be able to deal with it, and he'll get outworked in this fight. Cotto will have his moments and land some thudding shots, but overall he's going to get outworked most of the rounds. If Cotto fades down the strech, which he has against Margarito, Mosley, and Clottey he's going to get stopped in the late rounds. I don't have a problem with Cotto at all, but I think Margarito took it all out of him.
