manny pacquiao is your classic example of a knockout puncher
The guy fights in bursts and throws bombs. He can be inactive for 2-3rounds at a time but you can never take your eye of the ball because the punches he does throw are so accurate and powerful.
Cotto is the complete opposite. He uses a strategy to wear an opponent down just like hatton
Im gonna reserve my opinion on this till sunday morning. Cottos been on the slide ever since margarito and many are already under the suspiscion mannys about to beat up another shot fighter!
one dangerous horrible bloke
I don't think Pac knocks people out. Apart from Hatton he hasn't done that. Even Morales/Pac 3 was a case of Morales being a man starved of weight admitting that there was just no point getting up. Pacs speed was the problem and not the power.
DLH took a long time before eventually quitting on his bench
Diaz several rounds or so too before the end
Marquez, just wasn't staying down
Barrera no knockdowns in sight second time out
I don't think Pac is a knockout artist, it's his speed more than anything that just surprises people. Hatton was just so off his game that it made Manny look like a power punching monster.
It really hurt seeing Hatton knocked out by Floyd, it hurt even more the way Manny humiliated Ricky with two knockdowns and a ko, I just don't want to see Ricky beaten to a pulp by Cotto, Hatton should just concentrate on the promoting and feel lucky that he still has his marbles intact, its such a shame when you defend with your face your career comes to an end a lot quicker than you and your fans like.
Do a Khan fight and retire, nothing at world level for Ricky. I am pissed off with this P4P talk, he probably thinks Cotto goes P4P no.1 if he beats Manny then once again Hatton will say he is fighting for the P4P title again, say he won't let us down this time and proceed to get seven sacks of shit beaten out of him.
"pac told me I hurt him twice"
Come on Ricky... you used to be the guy saying nice things after a bout to people you'd beaten to a pulp... you know how this shit works...
I can't be the only boxer, Amature or pro who has offered some comment to the opponent after a win such as 'good fight, I really felt one of those right hands etc' despite it being untrue just because the beaten look on their face isn't too pretty?
Has he watched the fight or is he really clutching at straws... he got smashed... he might have hit pac 2-3 times but he never hurt pac 2-3 times.
Ricky is chasing dreams. ,If its more money or fame or he wants to keep hisname in the headlines he should talk about comming out here and rematch Kostya for the retired champions belt.
(we'll make one for him, if he comes).
Ricky would do better to call out Jenny Craig then Cotto; he'd of gotten trainwrecked by Cotto 2 years ago; now it would amount to attempted murder. Guy got hit one too many times and is delusional.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I agree if you put a pressure pad in front of both men Cotto would hit harder than Pac, but Pac times his counters very well (especially since he has started fighting bigger, heavier and slower fighters) and I think that was where he got the early KO vs Hatton. I see Cotto beating Hatton don't get me wrong but I think it would go further than the Pac fight and i'd probably go for late KO or UD mayself.
