Joshua Clottey stood straight in front of Miguel Cotto, and is way bigger than Manny Pacquiao.
Manny Pacquiao would be on the move constantly, he wouldn't stand his ground vs Miguel Cotto. He would rely on his footwork and speed.
Now i think Manny Pacquiao is a really good fighter, but i think he's being a bit overrated here.
Ricky Hatton was on the slide yes it was an impressive victory, and it wouldn't of mattered what Ricky Hatton turned up.
But still Ricky Hatton hasn't been the same since the Kostya Tszyu fight, ODLH was weight drained and rubbish. He hadn't fought at Welterweight in god knows how many years. And David Diaz is just mediocre.
I don't see how any of these fights prove that Manny Pacquiao, stands any chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr or Miguel Cotto. Or that Manny Pacquiao stands a chance against any top Welterweight, he hasn't fought a live-fighter at Welterweight yet.
Floyd Mayweather Jr still totally outboxes Manny Pacquiao, by atleast 8 rounds to 4. Anything JMM can do Floyd Mayweather Jr will do better. And Miguel Cotto will be too physical and too strong, and his body shots will be the key especially the way Manny Pacquiao leaves his body exposed, and he'll stop Manny Pacquiao late on.
That fact that Pacster would use his speed movement is the reason he'd KO Cotto.
When he KO's Cotto, you will be making excuses for that win too.. "Cotto was never the same after Margarito" .. "Cotto was on the slide" .. "Cotto was always chinny" .. "Cotto was weight drained"
Excuses, excuses, excuses. You can make excuses for every fighters loss.
IF Cotto beats Pacster it means Pacster was too small. Fact.
No i wouldn't Miguel Cotto is still very much the same fighter, but i think the excuses above are valied.
Because pretty much everyone agrees ODLH was a weight drained punchbag, and alot of fighters would of beaten that version of ODLH.
And i think everyone agrees Ricky Hatton hasn't been the same since Kostya Tszyu fight, and people have been saying that even before the Manny Pacquiao fight.
Carlos Quintana may not be as good as Manny Pacquiao, but he is a slick fighter with good movement. Yet Miguel Cotto soon caught up to him.
I haven't seen any performance from Manny Pacquiao that leads me to believe, he would stand a chance against Miguel Cotto or Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pacster would have beat Hatton at any time of Hatton's career. Watch the Magee fight.
Oscar was a shriveled mess, yes, but that doesn't mean any fighter would have slaughtered him the way Pacster did.
You're the excuses king, ICB, don't try and make out you wont be making excuses.
