Why are people writing off Pacquiao?

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

I like pac but i think he's going to have a lot of trouble with cotto if cotto matches pac's speed.

[lordforever]

pac can beat cotto if he can absorb the punches of cotto.... pac must be more defensive...

[Howlin Mad Missy]

I hear Godzilla want to fight him next. I think he has no chance againt pac, what do you think?

[Snakey]

Speed and power...and a south paw....sounds a little like zab judah

[blegit]

I don't write off Pacquiao as having no chance against PBF but he has little chance. Any one shot can end or change any fight. But Pac has never fought a slick pure boxer and in PBF he will be facing THE slick pure boxer. I actually think he will lose against Cotto so I don't want to speculate on a PBF fight while there is a big pink elephant in the room named Cotto.

[HattonTheHammer]

pac will beat cotto

cotto will suffer the same problems hatton had in that he simply wont be able to deal with a guy who appears to be a natural 140+ pounder but yet is still able to trade punches like a 126/130 pounder. It wont be as clinical but it`ll still result in a stoppage.

mayweathers a whole different kettle of fish though. Pacs prime rib for floyd. Manny for all his great footwork does like to fight in straight lines and floyd will expose any defensive frailtys far more effectively than your Hoyas or hattons of this world

[El Kabong]

Let's not jump to the conclusion that Miguel Cotto suffers from the same defensive problems as Ricky Hatton. Miguel Cotto is a very good boxer, he has the ability to box and do it well, and the only time he has lost was vs a guy who #1 Had illegal handwraps and #2 Was a gigantic welterweight. If Cotto makes Manny FIGHT then I'm not so certain Pacquiao is going to enjoy that fight because Cotto does damage

Pacquiao won't be able to hit Mayweather. That's the problem. But, as stated above, any one shot can end a fight. With Cotto, the problem of size won't be as apparent because Cotto can be hit and Pacquiao has power. With Mayweather, the problem of size will be very apparent because of his elusiveness, Pac's power won't come into play. Mayweather shuts him out.

I'm not even too excited about the match, at least not on paper. I would be more excited for Mayweather v. Mosley before Mosley grows too old.

Southpaws like Judah, Corley & Sanders were hitting PBF with their lefts. These guys are just B fighters. Pac has the best Left straight hand in all Boxing History. It already Victimized 4 HOFamers. Floyd will join that elite Company!!!
