I Like To Eat My Crow Breaded With Provolone and Marinara On A Bed Of Linguini

[JT Rock]

Congrats Pac

I mean what can you say about a guy who has moved up in weight the last year and a half and has not slowed down a bit in terms of speed quickness and power I admittedly wasnt sold on Pac for 2 reasons

1)DLH was a gaunt Zombie, Hatton was shot to bits.. I did pick those 2 to defeat Pac just on sheer size and power, I was wrong albeit I would bet the farm and say a prime DLH at 147 beats Pac.

2) The majority of Pac fans can be tiring to the point that I wanna see Pac lose so they just go away..

But Pac has showed to me that he is the man, no excuses with Cotto. Miguel looked fast, sharp and landed some good leather to Pac's body and head but Pac looked sturdy the whole fight... Cotto just couldnt find Pac enough to inflict the cumulative damage he usually does to his opponents before they succumb where on the contrary Cotto was there all night for Manny to find and grind down and he did, Cotto's face looked as grotesque as it did after the margarito fight..

I think the fight lived up to expectation and Pac should get 1000000000000000% credit for this victory he showed real poise when getting hit my a legitimate hard hitting welter and still stormed in un-phased. I know its been said before that Cotto has a great Jab and when he used it he was snapping Manny's head back everytime, but when he tried to exchange with Pac he got duffed up probably because he thought being the bigger man he could give and take better than the smaller Pac which clearly wasnt the case..

Cotto fans have nothing to be ashamed of he was in fight ready shape and tried like Hell to impose on Pac but couldnt.. I just hope he has something left in the tank after 3 brutal wars in a row

I agree with Steward last night when he said Pac belongs in the convo with Ali and Robinson. So enjoy this win Pac fans because as great as Pac is Mayweather is a whole other animal and his skill set negates Pac's and this fight will be great and push each other to their limits.. Floyds comparable stamina, speed, quickness, foot work to go along with his great defense, intellect and surgical precision against Manny's relentless offense, angles and determination.. Floyd is going to have to open up stand his ground and get out of his shell more if he wants to deter Pac. Great fight cant wait hopefully its no longer than 6 months away.

Pac has proved himself to be a real Welterweight now, so no more catchweight BS 147 is 147. if he can capture and defend the lineal title at 147 then he is as close to SRR there ever was maybe even better

Wow, this place was so packed last night I couldnt even get on the website. Not gonna over gloat but my prediction was almost spot on. I called a 10th round KO for Pac. I get more impressed with Manny every fight, its just amazing! Its one thing if someone thinks Mayweather could beat Pacquiao, but if I hear one person say "Mayweather would dominate Pacquiao" or "his shoulder role would nuetralize Manny" I swear im gonna go insane! For the past 2 years manny has been overcoming everything in front of him so lets not say a shoulder role takes care of the pound for pound king! Mayweather will have to bring much more to the table than that! I dont think Pacquiao gets credit lots of times for his body shots which will change Mayweathers posture all together.

Not to take anything away from manny, but I think it is clear that Cotto has not been the same since cheating Margarito. Even Roach said this before the fight. I'm not saying he would have necessarily won, but I think the Cotto of old would have put up a better fight. He's not shot, don't get me wrong, but he just doesn't have the same confidence. He looked good at first but after Pac started landing, he clearly got discouraged and started covering up and running too much. The old Cotto wouldn't have done this.

i have to agree, pac displayed some unpredictable reflexes.. his camp, despite the drama, did get their assignment done in the end. i've seen pac all smiles, like a guy who aint got a fight due.. but when he stepped out of the ring, his eyes were fierced as if coto owned him a debt.. it was quite frightening..

as for mayweather vs. pac.. i dunno.. it's still early to call off who wins who.. just as buboy fernandez have said, in every fights they have, they have different gameplan.. i just hope they study it well if the fights gonna pursue..

[:::PSL:::]

It's all about purse negotiation now between Arum and Floyd's camp. 50/50 split seems fair to me.

I'll eat crow too. I thought Cotto would be too big for Pacquiao, but Pacquiao was remarkable last night. Straight up. Congrats Pac fan.

It's really hard to celebrate knowing that Z Gorres (one of my fav fighters and a friend) is still in coma and fightin for his life.

If he beats PBF, i think it would be very hard to argue against him being top 2 or 3 of all time.
