I can't wait for the fight to see who's the best pound for pound fighter, style wise. I'm a pac fan, a huge one but i thought cotto will win and now i won't ever doubt the guy even if he fights mayweather.
i agree 110%.i have lost respect for a few boxing channels on here.people are acting like kids behind this!Pac is a great fighter,not the greatest of all time but he is very graet.a true champion.i had him whipping cotto and i was told time and time again i was stupid.now these same people only have excuses and neg. stuff to say.i can't wait till he fights pbf!!
And I don't think it's fair 2 say that you can't take anything away from Pacquiao, because people would take EVERYTHING away from Mayweather if he lost. I think people are letting their personal feelings about Mayweather cause them to forget that his boxing skills are second to none. He's not going to let Pacquiao knock him out. In terms of recent success Pacquiao gets the edge because he defeated Cotto.
Would you take anything away from Mayweather if he lost 2 Pacquiao? It's nice 2 have debate because it makes it seem as if Pacquiao will win. If you look at the poll on ESPN the majority think Pacquiao will ko MayW... LOL Are you serious? Anyone who knows ANYTHING about boxing knows that Mayweather most-likely wins that fight.
Chinese Koreans East Indians have done well for themselves in gaining acceptance in the US. Bruce Lee being the first to kick the doors wide open for everyone else. In the 60s & 70s black americans loved Bruce because it was still the time when blacks were forced to sit at the back of the bus that's not too long ago.Coming up to year 2010 & Filipinos are still the minority of minorities last in line to step up onto the world stage but Pacquiao some how slipped into the limelight very quickly.
I think what's happening is that black americans & latin americans (now that they're accepted) feel threatened by the new immigrant in town who's been beating their heroes. & conservative whites are glad to see minorities hating each other because minorities groups would be unstoppable if they band together.
I think all these haters feed the filipino hate campaign by firing off racist comments (posing as Pactards) on youtube to discredit Manny Pacquiao his fans & all filipinos. & filipinos respond by lashing out with even more racist comments against maytards blacks & other haters.
Well I don't think it's the fact that Filipinos aren't accepted. Filipino Immigration goes long way back in the US, and lets not forget that even in the boxing world, there were already well known Filipino legends like Gabriel Elorde, Pancho Villa, and Ceferino Garcia. Infact many would say that Filipinos are too integrated.
I think the Backlash comes mainly from Manny's rabid fanbase, usually made up of Filipinos. They could get a little annoying and ignorant. And I'm Filipino too...
The Door was slammed shut on Bruce Lee in America, this is why he went back to Hong Kong and became a mega Star, then Hollywood wanted him back to make money on him.
People who represent the underclass are loved by them regardless of there nationality,
The reason you guys have heard of Manny Pacquiao is because of Freddy Roach and Bob Arum who is an elite criminal.
thank you!! someone actually giving proper credit to pacman on all these channels, i havent commented on any other vids that failed to do so because i cant be bothered to get into a long winded argument, i know people will just say its cos your filipino or your just jumping on the pacquiao bandwagon, which is true, but ive been on this bandwagon since bakbakan the filipino boxing showcase where pacman first started!
Pacman is ther best!!!I love to see Pacquiao making the face of Gayweather like a punching bag.Pacman will going to kill Gayweather in the ring I'm sure!!!
Cotto obviously underestimate Pacquiao as he invite his wife & kids at ringside confident of a win.
Another big mistake is when Joe Santiago told Cotto after the 1st round.."Good Job..just watch his Left...thats all he's got"...WRONG...Cotto went down on Rd.3 on a quick right from the Pacman.
great fight, pacman was too fast for cotto. but cotto fight like a real warrior! now no more excuses, we all want to see pacman fight against maywether!
the days of me saying that this or that fighter sucks are over. I just realized that every fighter deserves RESPECT!!!
I just wanna thank miguel cotto for making me realize this. I mean damn, all these years I was hating at some fighters saying that they sucked after theyve been defeated (Eric Morales, Tito ortiz, Rashad Evans, Juan Marquez, , BJ penn, Marco Barera, etc)
I hope everyone respects them too, win or lose because they put their lives on the line just by stepping inside the ring
@boxinghistorian very good point. Pacquiao is already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest whether win or lose against mayweather. Pacquiao is really unique. this generation is really lucky to witness a special fighter like him.5 star.
Anyman who lets a few idiot pac maniac fans get to them are feminine sensitive onion skinned girls.
Develop a thick skin MEN, dont be sensitive girls!
I like Pacman now and I gotta give him credit cause he is carrying the sport and giving the mainstream a resurgence in boxing and how a humble exciting fighter is the face of our sport.
Stop being prejudice and focusing on those idiot fans, Judge manny on the person he is and the fighter he is, He said it himself I want to make people happy
Manny deserves everything he gets. I picked him to win lastnite, but not that easily! lol. But i do wish he would just fight at a real weight instead of a catchweight. He's got cotto's 147belt now but didnt at that weight. If manny wants to weigh 144, fine. But let the other dude weigh his weight aswell. Thats my opinion. I hope the floyd fight is at 147. Altho floyd will probably ignore a catchweight anyway.
cotto wants margarito in a rematch .. a think cotto should take like a year off, n fight margarito like next year .. november december sometime, this guy has been in too many hard fights, he should take the summer off
People are always giving Pacquiao credit. It's just a shame that some people don't give the same credit to floyd mayweather. Why shouldn't he go down as a better fighter than Pacquiao. Who's the best defensive boxer in boxing today? Who's the most accurate puncher in boxing today? Who's the most complete all around fighter in boxing today? I think you know the answer to those three questions. Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter of this era, no doubt. But thats about it.
Yes and his legacy will always be tainted for avoiding other fighters in the last couple of years. He won't fight Pac Man unless he gets any money even though Pac Man will sell all the tickets.
@Lister Mayweather might be all what you've said but he is also the most chicken shit, greedy, full of himself, never fought a real welter. Had Hatton move up instead of meeting him. Made Marquez move up but while up there he never fought the guys who were already there. No Mosely, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Cintron, Williams, Quintana.
I totally agree with you. You're spot on. Manny Pacquaio doesn't just step up in weight...he steps up and knocks the other guy out...he deserves all the respect in the world for his accomplishments in the ring...
Cotto shouldn't retire. He should, however, take some time off from fighting and to develop his right hand. Pacquiao was there to be hit all night with a straight right, especially when they got close. It was painful to watch Cotto struggle with his left hook...
he gets the credit he deserves der der but hes not the best until he beats mayweather . . . . dont even mention marquez HEEEE BEAT MARQUEZ ??? that was a fucking robbery go watch the fight my dude if you know boxing yea he won but if hes proud of that shit he needs to suck a cock thats why he didnt wanan give marquez a rematch mayweather will beat him and then i wanna hear all the fucking excues
whats done is done and every fighter gets screwed on bad judgment calls. Not on the Pacman kool aid but Mayweather isn't the catalyst to be considered " the best" especially when he retired when he had plenty of boxers still in prime. Pac set out to move up anyway..so he left Marquez behind for bigger goals. You gonna negate that over 7 titles in different weight classes? Wah wah wah... thats all the comments you seem to leave on these youtube vids all over. May dick rider for real. Pathetic...
hey boxinghistorian....LOL. u make a video "the day after the fight". i m from europe too.the fight was today in the morning and now it s 8 o clock in the evening so dont talk BS here .just joking
pacman is tough, let me give you the real story. the first time he lost of torecampo he is 16 yrs old hes to young the 2nd ko is to a thailander he didnt make weight and drained, his third lost to morales he gut cut and couldnt see through his right eye but carry it thru 12 rounds. he's tough
Oh, and I'm also impressed with Pacquiao's chin! He stood there, and took Cotto's punches, repeatedly, and didn't budge! Outside speed, Pac has a great chin, and underrated power! Of course, like Pacman says, with speed comes power. :)
I agree with your assessment of Pacquiao's growing legacy, in comparison to that of Mayweather. I'm glad you cited such fights as B-hop vs, Taylor to highlight the fact that B-hop still occupies a superior place in the boxing pantheon of all-time greats. If Mayweather fights Pac, and if he beats him, that will not diminish the status of Pac as a living, all-time-great. Thanks for the commentary! Good stuff... :)
I was up all night watching it too lol Manny was superb again and the fight was terrific. Well worth staying up for.
Manny is a legend. 5 weights now and he started at flyweight!! It's amazing how he maintains power and speed as he goes up nearly 2 stone. Superb performance last night.
we juts wanna se pac man vs floys, big huge crazy props for the pac man and cotto but pac manis a beast crazy ass beast who dont back own from anyone the fans just wanna see floyd vs pac man and that is a toss um up fight at the moment so I wanna see that fight
People wanna see Mayweather Pacqiao, but by the time, the fight happens, theirs going to be another boxer, whos going to add to the heat, like Julio Ceaser Chavez, so lets say, pacman beats floyd, their going to sey no no chavez is better, and he will never get credit
Never mind the Americans. Us British are the Hardcore boxing fans! I'm up every weekend and some people think i'm mad!
I'm bitter about the result as i'm a big Cotto fan. I think there are only two below light middle that have a chance at Pacquaio and that is Floyd Mayweather Jr and deffo PAUL WILLIAMS!
