Cotto v Pacquiao

[spud_gun]

So how do people see Pacquiao v Mayweather going?

At 147 then an easy win for PBF.

A 145 catch weight fight close but still a win for PBF.

Cotto is a great boxer, lots of heart, but he's no where near as technically proficient as PBF. Cotto was getting to Pacman early in the fight when he was boxing. Pacman caught Cotto a few times and it seemed as though Cotto wanted to abandon his game plan and start trading with Pacman. PBF wouldn't do that. He'd stick to his game plan for the full 12 rounds.

Unbelievable performance by the Pacman, his workrate is relentless.

So how do people see Pacquiao v Mayweather going?

Would PBF want to fight him though?

Drastic difference on the faces of both boxers at the end, it almost looked like the Pac had been fighting an opponent who was'nt allowed to hit back, the damage he'd inflicted compared to what he took was immense.

And when you take into consideration the quality of Cotto, that's some feat.

Pac-man should have finished him in the 5th round as i had predicted it to go.

I look forward to the mayweather V pacman fight,I have no idea which way it will go,12 rounds is what i expect with a rematch or 2 thrown in.
It's going to be epic and one i am no way going to watch on some dodgy website.

Gutted for Cotto. I really wanted him to win. I don't want to make excuses but surely a combination of fighting under 147 for the first time in 3 years and having a new trainer didn't help his cause. I thought he started off really well but got sucked into having a tear up with Pacman. Whenever he got hit, he seemed to lose composure and looked eratic. Had he stuck to his initial game plan, then I think the fight would have been alot closer.

As for a fight with Mayweather, I agree that if it doesn't happen then it's down to pretty boy. I also think Mayweather would want a bigger percentage of the money or at least 50/50 split. If the fight does happen then I still say Mayweather. I saw one or two flaws in Pacman tonight. One thing is certain and that is Mayweather will not allow himself to get into a brawl with Pacman like Cotto. Defensively he's sound so any mistake Pacman makes I see Mayweather getting him on the counter punch. He's just as fast as Pacman.imo.

The fight should have been stopped in the 9th, what was gained by stopping it in the 12th round?! Brutal, I can't see anyone beating Pacquiao in the near future - he's getting better with every fight.

Whatever happens, it'll be no Renda-Samuels.

That Renda / Samuels fight was incredible how they both managed to knock each other down at the same time.

As for Pacquiao, his workrate was astonishing. He would give Mayweather some problems for sure but the way I see it Mayweather is more difficult to hit than Pacquiao. I'd be praying for Manny to win though.

Cotto is my favourite fighter so that was hard watching. I actually thought he did well in spells and if Floyd was watching that he'll have noticed a few things to exploit.

If that fight ever happens that is, I have massive doubts. If it does though, im there even if I had to whack it on a credit card!

Pac is amazing, you are meant to be giving away advantages moving up but he seems to get quicker, stronger and any doubts about his chin can be put to bed after last night aswell. Floyd still beats him though.

Not really into my boxing but caught this earlier - cracking fight.

If it happens then it will be a clash of styles and could be a bit dull for periods although you cant keep pacman down for the full 12 rounds im sure. Mayweather is some fighter though and I just cant see him losing, again though he would need a warm up fight imo as he has long periods between fights and with pacman keeping busy I dont think Floyd can afford to be slow to start.
I saw a few things last night that Mayweather will definitely exploit, he was hit a fair bit, seemed to take a few rounds off, slowed down towards the end and noticeably sucked it up a few times, all things that Mayweather will have noticed for sure. Its hard to criticise Pacman after his recent showings and he really is a ****ing lethal fighter but I only see a Mayweather win. Make no mistake it will be at 147, Floyd will take every single advantage he possibly can.

[Gaz]

Manny Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter in the world at the moment, the combination of him and Freddy Roach is just amazing, as good as PBF is i think Roach would come up with a strategy to beat him and there's no-one better than Pacquiao to execute it

[javier_monsterano]

How does the money the boxers make work?
The winner should get a bigger pay packet than the loser.

If the fight goes ahead here are the Mayweather v Pacquiao betting odds:

PBF - 8/15
Pacman - 6/4
Draw - 25's

Mayweather is still untouchable in my opinion. Would be the best fight in years and years though!
