Why are people writing off Pacquiao?

[ElTerribleMorales]

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

cotto can and will land big

but the problem is he`ll be taking shots in return at double the volume and probably almost as powerful.

Against clottey from 4-9 he just seemed to go into a complete lull and was taking shots for fun. Against a manny pacquiao that will get you knocked out as the guy will be non stop for 12rounds!!

plz tell me you didn't just compare Cotto to Hatton, there is no similarities in between the two, Hatton is a one dimensional brawler who just moves forward and well always goes into the fight with one gameplan, Cotto is superior in ever aspect, a better technician, has better timing, a natural counter puncher (watch his earlier fights, and certain rounds as of late), he doesn't plod forward and expect you to crumble like Hatton did, on top of that he's far bigger and stronger than Hatton, Cotto will time Pacquiao, back him up to the ropes, and IMO stop Pacquiao before the 8th

neither pac or marquez should be written off. I just don't want to waste another fifty bucks watching floyd fight someone that has no chance of beating him. At the very least fight two or three of these guys at a time is costing to much one at a time. It's asking a lot for any regular welter to beat him, these guys moving up and all around weight classes just to fight him is getting out of hand.

If pac beats both cotto and mayweather, i'll set up a shrine in my house and worship him as god. just kidding.

Shane is the only one that has a decent chance of beating Floyd, Pac would get a one sided beat down just like Marquez, maybe even stopped.
