You can serve up a slice for me too. Pac gets ATG status for me regardless of what he does next. He had an in shape fast Cotto in front of him and was able to do what I thought he couldn't - press Cotto. I knew if he could press Cotto it was over for Cotto but I honestly thought he wouldn't be able to.
Pac is a very special fighter who constantly improves his game. You predict a defeat for him based on his past flaws because with each fight he fills in the holes he once had.
I chose Oscar to beat him by decision (similar to fight with Stevie Forbes) - Wrong.
I chose Hatton to lose by knockout - Right.
I chose Cotto to tko pac in 9 - DEAD Wrong.
I always thought Mayweather was unbeatable until witnessing last nights performance. I see Floyd as the only real challenge for Manny, but see PAC winning a clear decision.

Some fans of Pacquiao , the over the top variety, too, need to share a piece of "humble pie" equally with the Pac detractors.
No thank you... I've had mine a looong time ago! LOL.
It gives the community of posters here at Saddo the semblance of higher level camaraderie needed to fuel future verbal or actually written jousts.
As for the haters, I just don't know how to address that. I would simply tolerate them as I would any pain in life.
Congratulations to all winners and losers alike. It has seemed to be a healthy year this 2009, of postings and sharing here at Saddo.
I am happy that after this result, Pacquiao winning over Cotto, there seem to be a newfound appreciation for the fighter known as the PacMan, coming from a different genesis.
If any man deserve this newfound appreciation... the PacMan truly does!
Congratulations Manny Pacquiao, you've shown that you are.. a cut above the rest!

As I go online this morning to see who won the fight, I have to admit I am surprised by the TKO. I predicted Pac by decision, but I was by no means totally confident in that, and I think Manny surprised a lot of people last night. I thought Pacquiao's speed would give Cotto problems, but I didn't expect him to have the power that he apparently he had. Both men have the hearts of true champions, there was never any doubt about that. I can't wait to see the fight for myself.
There has to be a PBF fight, and soon, it would be a disservice to the fans and the sport for it not to happen. They need to meet when they are at the top of games. PBF can't lay claim to being the best pound for pound until he proves it against Pacquiao.

JT my man! Great post!
Manny is something else, a fight with PBF HAS to happen, and if there are any people who still don't want to give Pacquiao his due credit, you need to get your head checked out.

Manny Pacquiao is an amazing fighter, and i like the new and improved version. Rather than the wild version, i find him more exciting as a boxer. Although saying that my boy Floyd Mayweather Jr still beats him, lets all remember the improved Manny Pacquiao still had hell against JMM. And lets also remember Floyd Mayweather Jr can do pretty much everything better than JMM.
Re: I Like To Eat My Crow Breaded With Provolone and Marinara On A Bed Of Linguini
thank you JT for being humble on this.
I know we will have some word war again if Pac vs Mayweather happens.
I'd agree with you though that Mayweather will be Pac's most difficult fight because of PBF's excellent defense.
But PBF hasn't faced anyone with Manny's offense either so the fight will be very exciting.
I just hope Mayweather agrees with a 50-50 coz Pac won't fight for less.;)
