Majority fans and analysts don't know S**T about boxing!!!

And it's making me sick to my stomach. Being an avid boxing fan, I'm quite amped up for the Cotto/Pac showdown. What's really irking me is how so many MORONS out there who claim to know anything about boxing, actually beleive that Pac will stop Cotto specifically in the early rounds!!!!???

Are you kidding me!? It's bad enough for those who see Pac as a 3-1 favorite but to think he will stop Cotto?!!? Do these so called boxing fans and critics know anything at all about Cotto? Cotto has taken the best shots from Zab and Mosley and was never knocked down (I mention these 2 fighters specifically as they are in the same vicininty in terms of speed as Pac but hit much harder!). Cotto took a pounding from a huge 147lb'r in Marg and STILL wasn't knocked down...that too with possible plaster'd wraps.

How anyone thinks Pac who is coming up in weight to a prime Cotto at 145lb (still a bitch move on Pac's team to force Cotto to meet 145lb and fight a possibley weight drained Cotto ala ODH) is beyond me.
Unless the weight drain has effected Cotto (we'll know this in the first few rounds) there is no way IMO, that Pac stops Cotto...in fact, I'm calling Cotto to win a UD.

Too many people are getting carried with Pac's 2 previous wins over 'keeping my hands down Hatton' and a past his prime, severly weight drained ODH. People really need to wakeup and put things into perspective...

I will say this...It's a releif at least on this forum it's more evenly split in terms who posters feel will win...but others forums and articles I've read have Pac an 8-1 favorite!?!? Unbelievable

Its only natural. The same people were probably saying that he would hammer Hatton early and probably got laughed at accordingly, no way he could starch Hatton early right? He landed the kitchen sink on Diaz and the ghost of ODLH and still took what was it 8 rounds a piece?

I think Cotto will savage Pac and stop him in the mid rounds

Its an exciting and intriguing match up and personally i cant wait for saturday night as ive been looking forward to it for months! I honestly cant pick a winner, its a 50-50 fight as far as im concerned. How will Manny deal with Cottos power? How will Miguel deal with Pacquiaos speed? I LOVE IT! ;D

More I think about it the more I see it the same way. For long couldn't decide and thought it could go convincingly either way. Cotto has the defence and toughness to withstand Pac who'll struggle to cope with Cotto's strength and power. Some fans got carried away when Ricky KO'd castillo, suddenly he could do the same with a prime Weler with the best D in the buis, I think people will be in for a similar rude awakening on Sat night, though I'm hoping for a competitive showing.

It's even more moronic to claim Pac can't KO Cotto early.

You're gonna look like a proper mug should this happen. Pac has a serious speed advantage, he hits hard, Cotto doesn't have a great chin.

Good luck. ;)

when has Cotto's chin looked weak at 147 lbs? it took Margarito 11 rounds to stop him and that was most likely with cinder blocks on his hands, and when has he been hurt by a smaller guy at 147?

I do agree with you here Fenster.

One thing we should all know for certain now is that you never know what's going to happen in boxing.

Yes I think Cotto will be too strong for Manny. Yes I can't see how a guy who beat Shane Mosely, destroyed Quinatana and beat up Zab Judah, and got a win over Joshua Clottey, can be beat up and knocked out by a former flyweight.

BUT I thought Manny would lose to Oscar, I thought him and Hatton was for certain a 12 round fight and I expected the size and strength of David Diaz to cause him problems.

I think Cotto's chances have been underestimated by the fans and media alike, but this is a fight that I just don't know for sure how it's going to go.

My head says Cotto wins in the late rounds, but I've bet against Manny a ton of times before and he always suprises.

It's probably wisest not to say too much before the buildup to this fight as a lot of people will end up with egg on their faces methinks.

where's the fun sitting on the fence? anything can happen in boxing, but I'm going for Cotto to take over and maul Pac in the mid rounds.

I don't think it's fans and people not knowing shit....i'ts more that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and people see fights different ways. That's the thing about boxing you can think you know all you want then boom out of the blue pac beats oscar, buster beats tyson so on and so forth. After every fight half the people picking are wrong right off the bat but i wouldn't say thier stupid. This is a sport of inches, turn your head the wrong way, mis-anticipate and al that training and so called "know" can go right out the window. Some pick pac, others cotto. There are arguments to be made for both sides. Myself i think if cotto tries to go in there and so called "beat up the little guy" he'll loose. If he goes in there and boxes and uses his advantages smartly he'll win. Hey if anyone i don't know shit, i very rarely pick any sport right.

Your Quote " The majority of fans don't know shit about boxing " ?
Well let me start by saying , that personally I am going for a PACMAN win inside 6 rounds . But i like both fighters as they are exciting to watch , and I will be happy whoever wins.
As for opinions like mine " making you sick to your stomach" I find this laughable at best.
Not only should you take time away from masturbating furiously over pictures of the love of your life Cotto , myself and many other fine posters on Saddo's were watching boxing when your were a "GLINT IN THE MILKMAN'S EYE" . If by any chance you are not a prepubescent teen , then you are a mere idiot.
So to sum up your Highness , every one's opinions differ , that's what makes boxing great to watch and discuss.
More to the point thats what makes SADDO BOXING GREAT.
The prosecution rests.

This fight is at 145 not 147.

But anyway.. Pac punches more explosive than Margarito. Maybe not with the strength but certainly with the element of shock.

Cotto was bothered by Zab, Mosley and Clottey. He was knocked drunk against Corley and Torres.

With that amount of evidence, it would be foolish to say Pac CAN NOT knock-out Cotto. That's all ;)

I agree just look at the prediction contest, I'm in the know, some people, not so much.

This fight is exciting because opinion is so divided. Cannot wait for this fight!
